Product Description:

The new 4D WebSTAR Server Suite V takes advantage of Mac OS X's multiprocessor support, preemptive multitasking and faster networking, without sacrificing WebSTAR's stellar reputation for ease-of-use and security. Beyond amazing speed increases in the web server itself, an overhaul of the caching sub-system provides even more performance improvements for the entire server suite. The completely redesigned Administration architecture provides a high level of flexibility with Delegatable Authority, allowing administrative permissions to be individually granted for virtual host administrators. The Admin Server is now separate from the Web Server, to monitor servers and maximize uptime. The new Admin Client is written in 100% Java, giving the Mac OS X look-and-feel, while allowing remote administration from any platform that supports Java. The Admin Client also now communicates via SSL for more secure administration. Overall Security now takes advantage of reusable realm security settings, and allow/deny security settings.

What's new in this version:

IMPORTANT: The server will only launch if your installed license is valid for version 5.4.1. If you have a CIP license, it must be valid for updates until September 16th, 2005 or later. Please check your Admin Server Licenses panel in the Admin Client. Your validity information for each selected server license is located at the top of the Description text area. At least one entry must be valid for 5.4.x or valid until 16/Sept/2005 or later. If your license is not valid for this version, you should upgrade it *before* installing. Installer
  • Updated the ClamAV custom install option to install ClamAV 0.87.
NOTE: Non-critical warnings may appear in the ClamAV logs about the availability of a more recent release of ClamAV.
  • The ClamAV custom install option now always creates a Startup Item instead of using alternate launching methods on Panther and Tiger. This should help reduce problems with freshclam database downloads.
Admin Server
  • Now launches even if the license is invalid for the installed version, allowing post-upgrade license entry via the Admin Client.
  • Launches of the server processes are staggered to avoid initialization failures that prevent Admin Client connections.
  • Contains modifications to reduce the likelihood of zeroing out of the License.prefs.xml file on launch.
SMTP Server
  • When another mail server sends an incorrect command, the server no longer disconnects.
  • The server no longer holds archived log files open, preventing deletion.
  • No longer corrupts messages to multiple recipients when the receiving server drops the connection. This behavior sometimes caused the SMTP Server to shut itself down without recovery.
  • Preference files should no longer be written as empty files if there is no disk space.
Mailbox Server
  • Fixed crashes on IMAP access by clients running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Mail 2.
  • The effective IMAP timeout should now be more consistent with the configured setting.
  • Preference files should no longer be written as empty files if there is no disk space.
Web Server
  • Now includes Sigurjon Jonsson's Mail Quarantine CGI. It allows you to review and clear the contents of a Mail server quarantine folder via the Web. For more information, please see the Mail Quarantine CGI Readme.txt file in the 4DWebSTAR/Documentation folder.
  • WebSTAR API plug-ins can now load their own plug-ins.
  • Preference files should no longer be written as empty files if there is no disk space.
WebSTAR CGI Plug-in
  • Updated the built-in distributions of PHP to version 4.4.0. If you use the excellent product PHPStar from http://phpstar.keywerks.de, you may need to reinstall it after running the WebSTAR Installer.
WebSTAR Flexmail Plug-in
  • Now adds a Message-Id header to all messages.
  • Prevents spammers from redirecting email messages.
WebSTAR FTP Plug-in
  • Increased the effective maximum number of connections from 20 to 32.
WebSTAR Rewrite Plug-in
  • Proxy rules now return a 504 (Gateway Timeout) error if the back-end server is unreachable. If a custom 504.* (e.g. 504.html) page exists in your errors folder, it will be served in these cases.
  • Proxy rules are now compatible with POST method forms on Microsoft IIS and other target servers that use the interim 100 Continue response.
WebSTAR Security Plug-in
  • Now redisplays the realm authentication (401) dialog on all browsers after input of a bad password.
WebSTAR Tomcat Plug-in
  • No longer crashes on certain malformed URLs.

Kerio WebSTAR ReviewIt's NOT $299 from verion 5.4 - Version: 5.4.1, 2/1/2006 07:18AM PST

equitek
This is a FREE upgrade for users of version 5.4. This was just posted on the WebSTAR mail list and I thought I'd provide that info. I've used WebSTAR (the email server portion) for years, and this version is very stable, easy to manage and administer, and works well ON A G3 for about 300 email accounts. You don't need to know any terminal, it's all GUI.

From 4D's 5.4.0 to Kerio's 5.4.1 is $299!!!!

There is no other pricing for "yearly maintenance" listed on the site. (With 4D it used to be $99 a year...)
