Hi,
A new release candidate of the CipherMail gateway community edition is
now available (version 3.0.3-0).
New
* Support for MySQL/MariaDB and Oracle Database added.
* JDB connection tester tool added. This can be used to test a
connection to an external database (Postgres,
MySQL/MariaDB and Oracle Database).
* Log export functionality added to the virtual appliance (previously
this was a CipherMail Enterprise only feature).
Improvements/Changes
* Because support for MySQL/MariaDB and Oracle Database was added, there
is now a separate package for Postgres. The
main back-end package no longer requires Postgres. The separate
postgres package can be used to auto configure a local postgres
database.
* Mail generated by the web GUI ("Compose a test email" tool and "PDF
reply" page) is now sent to a special local port
on port 10027. This makes it possible to change settings on the
default smtpd port (25) without interfering with email sent from the
GUI. This requires an additional service setting for port 10027 in
master.cf.
* Java wrapper updated to 3.5.28
(https://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/release-notes.html).
This fixes the following Java wrapper bugs: multi byte char logging
sometimes resulted in ? in the log files, memory leak on
RedHat/CentOS.
* Libraries updated.
* Java 8 is now supported. Note: because of bug#
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9482, OpenJDK 8 on RedHat/CentOS
currently cannot be used because EC ciphers are not supported for
SSL/TLS.
* Certificate request page now supports more request parameters
(country, locality, state, OU).
* Fix for bug GATEWAY-91. Djigzo should trim off whitespace in the
beginning and/or end of any PGP header lines. Note that this is not
enabled by default because this is not RFC compliant. A system
property must be set to enable this.
* Fix for bug GATEWAY-92. PDF encryption failed on non-standard Unicode
characters (Webdings font).
* Fix for bug GATEWAY-96. PGP keyring importer does not report import
failure if password is incorrect.
* Fix for bug GATEWAY-97. PGP/MIME signing a message with an invalid
content-transfer-encoding results in a message in the error queue.
* The database connection string is now stored in a separate xml
fragment (hibernate.connection.xml). This makes upgrading easier
because upgrading the hibernate configuration file no longer results
in overwriting the database connection string.
* The Web portal is now responsive (i.e., scales on smaller devices).
* Ciphermail.backup.enabled system property added which can be used to
disable backup option from the web GUI.
* Default Tomcat server.xml now only supports strong SSL/TLS ciphers
(ssllabs gives GUI an A rating).
The release candidate can be downloaded from

When upgrading an existing installation, a number of (minor) additional
configuration steps are required. See the upgrade guide for more
information:
https://www.ciphermail.com/documents-3.0/upgrade-guide.pdf
This release has been extensively tested. If there are no major issues
found this week, it will be officially released.
Kind regards,
Martijn Brinkers
