Zimbra 8.5.0 and ZeXtras Suite: Important News

[Cine]

Hello everybody!

The official release of ZeXtras Suite 1.9.0 has been postponed to next week in order to better polish some of the new code as well as to run additional tests on all components.
However, I managed to bribe the devs to build an "alpha" package for those who wish to start testing the new release as early as possible.

The package can be downloaded from http://www.zextras.com/download/ALPH...uite-1.9.0.tgz (md5sum: 3026d4e28c8724641438e5c2af9ff845 zextras_suite-1.9.0.tgz).

If you plan to use ZeXtras Chat, please don't use the AutoDeploy feature but manually download and install the custom ZeXtras Chat zimlet found at http://www.zextras.com/download/ALPH...xtras_chat.zip (md5sum: c8d12e1a817b870cef5ead89e9ff434f com_zextras_chat.zip).

KNOWN ISSUES:
- "External Restore": might fail due to a Null Pointer Exception when trying to import a deprecated attribute.
- This version is not compatible with Zimbra NE yet. NE support will be added with a later release.

Have a nice day,

I have update my server zimbra 8.5 to zextras 1.9 without trouble. Many thanks !

A have juste this warning before installation.

length() used on @array (did you mean "scalar(@array)"?) at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/IO/Compress/Zlib/Extra.pm line 198.
Download succeeded and validated for ZAL branch 1.0 variant 8.5.0

And this during installation :

Deploying zimlet ...

./libs/functions.sh: ligne 517 : local: « 0 » : identifiant non valable

Hi Cine, Thank you for the beta link.
I have installed the 1.9 but i have the following (bug?)

I want to add my license file, so i can select my file local but then i have to press save, the problem is that that button is grayed out so i can't press it.

Hi aknobbe,

I'll check this issue next week, in the meanwhile you can try to upload your license with *zxsuite* CLI command:

~$ zxsuite core  doUploadLicense
command doUploadLicense requires more parameters

Syntax:
   zxsuite core doUploadLicense {license_path} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

PARAMETER LIST

NAME               TYPE       EXPECTED VALUES    DEFAULT
license_path(M)    Path                          
force(O)           Boolean    true|false         false

(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter

Usage example:

zxsuite core douploadlicense /home/user/zextra_licenses/zextra_backup_license.zx
Uploads the ZeXtras license in file /home/user/zextra_licenses/zextra_backup_license.zx

Have a nice day.

Trying to install 1.9 alpha on CentOS 7 + ZCS 8.5. Getting "Failed to set ZeXtras Suite mode. Installation aborted.", right after "Download succeeded and validated for ZAL branch 1.0 variant 8.5.0." Is there something I can do to work around this?
