[Kolab-devel] kolab and slapd-2.4.x

[Bernhard Reiter]

Hi Richard,

first sorry for having been to sparse lately.
Since a few months we have been under heavy load which is good for the Kolab 
solution. Especially the new KDE enterprise35 client is a large improvement,
but there is more to come on the client side.
This will continue until Linuxtag and sometimes explains why my reaction times 
are so low.

Which memory leak are you refering to in particular?
We have kolab/issue2478 (kolabd memory leak).

All good questions. I currently do not know.
The big part on server 2.2 is to get Horde in an all old functionality with 
the updated and cleanup packages in there and stable. We are battling this at 
the moment. Thomas leads this effort.
This has a high priority, because we must give people a real means to move to 
2.2 from all old installations.
