[Pierre Baudracco]

Hi all !

OBM 2.2.0 aka beertender release has been released !

Debian packages (Etch and Lenny) are available on http://www.obm.org
Beta rpm packages can be found here (
http://obm.org/doku.php?id=docs:admindocs:yumconfigure )

We have put a great amount of work for this new major release since 
early 2008, and it brings significants enhancements in many domains.

OBM is now fully UTF8 and PostgreSQL support is now at the same level of 
mysql and becomes the recommended database for big sites.
The database model has greatly evolved with integrity constraints 
everywhere, a groupware model more standard compliant and 
multi-addresses in contact and company. The calendar now supports 
timezones and allows PDF printing.

- PHP >= 5.2

The new miniG webmail will be integrated in a near future minor release
