Group-Office 6.5 released

We're proud to announce Group-Office version 6.5. This version brings you various enhancements.

Smaller header bar

A small visual enhancement but with great benefits. We made the top bar smaller by integrating the navigation tabs into it. This gives you more space for the app.

Smarter employee management

Manage all employment settings from the user dialog. Manage activities, holiday hours and fees at one place. Holiday calculations are automatically made based on the employment agreements. The new business module is the base for time tracking, projects and financial modules.

Manage your businesses and activities

History module

Get insight in what happened in detail with the new history logging module. It keeps track of everything. Even property changes are supported.

New license system

We've made our license system easier. Instead of uploading files you can now register your key inside Group-Office.

Also a lot of smaller changes were made like:

• Core: Module dependencies are respected when installing
• Comments: Editable date field
• Address book: Removed starred functionality for performance reasons
• Core: New global search design to improve performance on larger databases
• Documenttemplates: add selectable folder option
• Core: Default authentication domain is appended automatically when local user isn't available. This allows ldap users to login with their username without appending or selecting a domain. Removed the domain combo because it's no longer needed with this change.
