OX App Suite
New features with v7.10.6

New Address Book Picker and Search
A new address book search and contact picker for large organizations using an LDAP directory. Search for contacts across all departments (cross context and with configurable LDAP search filters).
Cross Context OX Calendar Sharing
As users can share personal and public calendars outside their contexts, the creation of appointments and free/busy now supports participants from other contexts.
Introduction of Functional (Shared) Mailboxes
OX App Suite v7.10.6. now lets users subscribe to, and use, centrally managed functional mailboxes. These functional mailboxes are easy to subscribe to and can be shared amongst other users in the same context.
OX Mail On-behalf of Management
In some situations, a user may wish to delegate management of their email and calendar functions to another user. For this reason, Open-Xchange has introduced a completely new concept to work ‘on-behalf’ of another users, for mail and calendar.
Automatic Processing of Scheduling Mails
Calendar invitations received via email are now automatically processed and saved as soon as an invite email arrives in a users inbox. Now, new appointments, updates, cancellations, or replies from participants will directly appear in the user’s calendars.

Lua HTTP Support
Lua scripts now have an API to access the internal Dovecot lib-http library. See, e.g., https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/#dovecot.http.client for documentation.
Automated Process Restarts
The mail_user_session_finished event was added, which provides telemetry information on the current status of a Dovecot process. This event can be used with the new process_shutdown_filter configuration setting to automatically shutdown processes based on, for example, the current memory usage of the process. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/#core_setting-process_shutdown_filter.

OX Protect
New features with v2.0

Security Dashboard for Users
OX Protect 2.0 comes with a security dashboard that allows users to view reports that show the security status of their network and the connected devices. It informs about blocked attempts to access filtered content, potentially malware-infected devices, and more. Security reports can be viewed over a time period ranging from one to thirty days.
Enhanced Notifications and Event Aggregation
The new version provides a simpler way of displaying, consolidating, and acting on real-time notifications about events such as attempts to visit blacklisted webpages, blocked phishing attacks, and more.
Homework Time
Homework time provides a feature whereby a more restrictive set of filtering rules can be applied during certain times, for example, to support children doing their homework and removing distractions such as messaging apps or video streaming. This can be done on a per-profile basis so different family members can have different homework times and settings.
