We are happy to announce that we have just made available for download the release candidate version of the next release of VPOP3 v6.
You can download it from here.
This version should be OK for production use. We use it here on our main server and some of our other servers, and several of our customers have been using a similar version for several months.
The change log and fixed bugs is included below.
You do not need a new licence key to use this version of VPOP3. You can use this version if you have a version 5 licence key with software maintenance which expires on or after 20th January 2013. The installer should check the expiry date of your software maintenance subscription before letting you continue with the installation process.
To install this software on an existing VPOP3 server, simply install it over the top of your current installation. The upgrade process from an existing v5 installation should be quite quick and straightforward, as the database system being used has not changed.
If you are going to install the software on a live server, we strongly recommend you do this during UK office hours. Then, if there is a problem during installation you can call us (on +44 (0)1484 855800) and we will able to do our best to help without charge.
If you have a priority support contract with us, you can call us and we will be able to install the upgrade for you if you wish.
If you want to install the software on a test installation first, then you could copy your existing installation to the test PC first.
