[SM-ANNOUNCE] ANNOUNCE: SquirrelMail 1.4.20 Release Candidate 1 Now Available

Greetings,

The SquirrelMail Team is pleased to bring you the first release
candidate ahead of our next SquirrelMail version: 1.4.20RC1.  Because
of the somewhat invasive nature of some of the changes we have
recently made, we are issuing a "release candidate" before we
officially move to version 1.4.20.  While we have been very careful to
ensure the stability of SquirrelMail, this version, 1.4.20 release
candidate 1, has undergone limited testing, and we'd like to have more
feedback before we make version 1.4.20 final.

The most notable changes for this version are the addition of two
security mechanisms that fight cross-site request forgeries (CSRF),
the removal of some deprecated PHP functions, some minor fixes in the
filters plugin, and increased user privacy.  For more complete
details, see the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog files included in this
release (in the doc/ directory).

Due to the security issues fixed herein, we'd like to advise all users
of SquirrelMail software to upgrade.  However, because this is
technically a "release candidate", it may be most prudent to to test
your upgrade before putting it into production use.  We are confident
that most systems will not experience any trouble, but we'll be happy
to work with you to resolve any issues that do arise.  Your feedback
is highly appreciated.
