You can now check your emails from each folder by a simple click on it.

  • eXo Chat has been added! Instant messaging will now be part of your collaborative experience.

eXo Chat has started its inception in the liveroom project. It is now showing up in CS with a new Chat Bar portlet and a larger Chat App portlet for WebOS.

  • Last but not least, CS now supports RTL

It means you can use CS applications with languages that require right to left orientation such as the arabic language. A special thank to the eXo MEA team for their valuable help!

Indeed, beside that, we have paid attention to the feedback received from the community. Hence, we applied dozens of improvements and lifting additions listed on JIRA.
