Scalix is planning to freeze development of Scalix Connect for Outlook for Outlook versions 9 (Outlook 2000) and 10 (Outlook XP/2002) in one of the next releases of Scalix. We recommend that you consider upgrading to Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. Note that we will continue to provide support on the basis of a frozen connector version, however, no new functionality in Scalix Connect will be made available for these platforms.

Scalix is committed to both providing programmatic access to the system as well as to promote the use of open standards. With Scalix 11.3, we released support for CalDAV (RFC 4791) and will continue to enhance Scalix WebDAV capabilities in future releases. As there is significant overlap between the technologies, we are considering to halt further development and then later remove support for Scalix REST-based Messaging Services APIs, which use proprietary interfaces and data formats. If you are using Scalix Messaging Services for your application development, we recommend investigating into updating your code to use CalDAV/WebDAV interfaces instead. No date has been set for this change yet.

 If you are upgrading from a previous version of Scalix, there are several changes of which you should be aware:

• Before beginning any upgrades, check your license key. If you are upgrading to or from a Small Business Edition (SBE) or Enterprise Edition (EE) installation, you need to have a valid and current license key with a "Last Valid Issue Date" (LVID) on or after 1 May 2008 (2008-05-01) to use Scalix 11.4. If the license is not valid, your installation will downgrade to Community Edition. To check the LVID of your license, use the Scalix Management Console or the sxlicense command. To extend your upgrade subscription or get a new license key, please contact Scalix Sales at info@scalix.com.
  
• After upgrading to any version of Scalix 11 from Scalix 10 or earlier, you cannot downgrade to a previous version because of permanent changes to the structure of the message store.
• Scalix 11 changes the file system layout significantly from previous versions. If you have customizations stored in any files under the Scalix home directory (/var/opt/scalix), back them up before upgrading. In addition, any custom scripts with hard-coded references to /var/opt/scalix (such as ommaint or ombackup) must be updated because they point to a file structure that has been changed. For more on this issue, see the workaround for updating custom scripts. If you have any filesystems mounted below /var/opt/scalix (e.g. separate mountpoints for tmp and/or temp), you will need to unmount these before the upgrade. Otherwise, the upgrade will fail.
• The location of all files has changed in this release from /var/opt/scalix (aka ~) to /var/opt/scalix/<nn> which will be referred to as <instance>. The meaning of ~ for Scalix 11 changes to be the directory <instance>/s". In addition, some tomcat logfiles have been renamed
• Scalix 11 requires the package sendmail-cf as an additional prerequisite, which should be installed manually before starting the installer. If not, the installer will detect the missing package.
• Direct upgrade from versions of Scalix prior to Scalix 10 is not supported. You must first upgrade to Scalix 10, then upgrade again to Scalix 11. You can directly upgrade from Scalix 10 to any version of Scalix 11, including Scalix 11.4.
  
• When upgrading from Scalix 10.x to any version of Scalix 11, make sure your message store is in a consistent state before you begin the upgrade. We recommend running the omscan -Aafvx command to verify and fix pre-existing message store issues. Due to a necessary message store format upgrade when upgrading to Scalix 11, data corruption can occur when trying to do this on a message store with pre-existing consistency issues.
  
• We recommend you upgrade all components at the same time if possible. If you can't do all systems at once, follow these rules:
  • You can run Outlook with a Scalix 10.0.x MAPI connector against a Scalix 11 server.
  • You must not run Outlook with a Scalix 11 MAPI connector against a Scalix 10 server. This combination can cause invalid data in the message store and interoperability issues.
  • You can run a Scalix 11 SWA web server against a Scalix 10 server. You cannot run a Scalix 10 SWA web server against a Scalix 11 server.
  • You can use a Scalix 11 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 10. You cannot use a Scalix 10 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 11.
  • It is supported to run Outlook with an older Scalix Connector version against a newer server, e.g. you can run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.1 against a Scalix 11.4 server. It is not supported to run Outlook with a newer Scalix Connector version against an older server, e.g. you cannot run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4 against a Scalix 11.3 server. You must always upgrade all your servers first before upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook.
• Scalix 11 requires slightly more disk space than its predecessors because it adds a new header cache database and a full text index. So before upgrade, check the size of the message store and add another 5% to 10% to the amount of disk space required.
• Scalix 11 provides new full-text indexed search capability, used by both Outlook and Scalix Web Access. After the upgrade, the index must be initialized. When run for the first time, this is a time-consuming process and may take days for a large message store. During this time, the system will experience higher load and performance impacts. Also, search functionality is not fully available until the index is created. You can control the pace at which the index is created and schedule resources as required. See the sxmkindex man page for further information. The Scalix installer will ask you at the end of an upgrade install, if it should kick-off creation of the index. For large systems, you might want to decline this and schedule the index creation manually.

If you are upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook to version 11.4 from any previous version of Scalix Connect for Outlook 11, there are several things to be aware of:

• When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.0 you should create new profiles for any clients using SmartCache to benefit from all fixes contained in Scalix 11.1
  
• When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.1, Scalix 11.0.2 or Scalix 11.0.2.1, you may need to create new profiles for some users using SmartCache to benefit from all fixes  in Scalix 11.4
• When upgrading from Scalix 11.0.3 or later, there is no need to recreate Outlook profiles or re-initialize the cache.
• On Windows Vista, Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.3 cannot be upgraded to 11.4 using Auto-Upgrade. You will have to manually install the new version of Scalix Connect or use a Windows software management tool to deploy the new version. Auto-Upgrade from Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4 to future versions will work.
  

If you are using omldapsync to manage Scalix users and groups through an external directory:

• Since version 11.3 Scalix comes with an updated version of Java, Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 13 (JRE 1.5.0_13) while versions of Scalix 11 up until Scalix 11.0.4 used Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 6 (JRE 1.5.0_06) and Scalix 11.1/11.2 use Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 Patch 11 (JRE 1.5.0_11). The Scalix Tomcat installation is updated automatically to use the new Java version. However, any existing sync agreements for omldapsync, stored in /var/opt/scalix/<instance>/s/ldapsync/<sync_agreement_name>/sync.cfg, need to be updated manually to reflect the new version, e.g. the following change will need to be done in all config files:

          Change
                        JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06
          or
                        JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_11
          to
                        JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_13

If you are upgrading your server to Scalix 11.3 or later from any previous installation of Scalix 11, there are a number of new packages supporting Scalix Server:

• scalix-libical - this replaces libical as shipped with earlier versions of Scalix and must be selected in the installer when installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.
• scalix-iconv-extras - this is an optional install that adds additional character set for Japanese character sets to the os-supplied iconv character set conversion library. It improves Scalix I18N character set support and Scalix recommends installing this on all systems running scalix-server.
• scalix-chardet - this is software derived from the Mozilla Universal Character Set Detection library. It is used for automatically detecting character sets in incoming email messages with incomplete or incorrect MIME headers. As of Scalix 11.3, scalix-server depends on this library and it must be selected in the installer when installing or upgrading the scalix-server package.

If you are using Scalix Community Edition and you are upgrading your server to Scalix 11.3 or later from any previous version of Scalix, please note that the number of free Premium User licenses has changed from 25 to 10.

• If you have more than 10 Premium Users configured, the installer will detect this and not allow you to upgrade. You will need to convert some of your Premium Users to Standard Users before continuing with the upgrade.
• If you need more than 10 premium users, you will need to upgrade your Scalix installation to Small Business Edition or Enterprise Edition. Please contact Scalix Sales at info@scalix.com for details.

If you are upgrading your Server to Scalix 11.4 from any previous installation of Scalix 11 and if you have changed the SMTP Relay configuration in smtpd.cfg your changes will be saved in Osmtpd.cfg since Scalix 11.4 delivers a new version of smtpd.cfg. You need to manually integrate the changes you made into the new smtpd.cfg after finishing the upgrade.

On Windows Vista auto upgrading to Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4 from version 11.3 will not work. You need to manually install the new connector.

The information is also sent by email to your administrator account so that you can confirm that the content is simple, transparent and non-sensitive. Except where disallowed by local statute, it is a violation of the licensing conditions to disable or circumvent this feature. Installing a Small Business or Enterprise Edition license key deactivates this feature.

System Requirements

Please check the Scalix Installation guide for current minimum system requirements.

The Scalix 11.4 Release consists of a self-extracting shell archives for Linux and a separate ZIP file download for the Windows components.

The Components in the package and their respective version numbers are as follows:

* Text extractors allow the indexing of binary Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and PDF documents. They are only available as part of Scalix Small Business Edition (SBE) or Enterprise Edition (EE)
** For Scalix Community Edition downloads, Scalix Connect for Outlook (MAPI) is a separate ZIP-file download.
*** The Scalix Migration Tool is a separately-sold product to migrate eMail, Calendar, Contacts and other objects from Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003 to Scalix. Please contact Scalix Sales for details.
**** The Scalix Active Directory Extensions are only available as part of Scalix Small Business Edition (SBE) or Enterprise Edition (EE)

Installing the Scalix Mail Server requires Linux system administration skills and root access to the server. Coordination with your site networking team is also required to ensure that workstations are able to connect to the server (through TCP/IP sockets) and that the server itself is visible to the network, including any necessary DNS/MX configuration. If the network uses Firewalls and/or VPNs, then additional modifications to the network might be necessary to enable the required network connections to the appropriate ports on the server, as described in the Scalix Installation Guide.
