Hello everyone,
The Zextras crew is delighted to present Carbonio Community Edition 25.12.0 with various improvements and new features.
Features to highlight:
Allow Users to Create a Folder When Saving Attachments to Files
With this implementation, users can now create a new folder directly while saving an email attachment into Files. Previously, attachments could only be saved into existing folders. Now, when choosing where to store an attachment, the user can either select an existing folder or create one on the fly, making the process more flexible and improving overall usability.
Improved Calendar Sharing Process
We simplified the calendar sharing flow by replacing the public/internal selection dropdown with a faster, more intuitive checkbox. Additionally, users now receive clear feedback when attempting to share the same calendar with the same person and role twice, preventing confusion and saving time.
Message Search
Message Search allows users to instantly find specific messages, dates, or content in any chat without scrolling. Just type a keyword, view the results, and jump directly to the highlighted message in context.
Enable Folder Download via Public Access Links
Users can now download entire folders, complete with subfolders and files, directly from Public Access Links, eliminating the need to download items one by one and greatly improving the sharing experience.
Implement ESC and ENTER Keys for Simple Modals
Users can now quickly close modals using the ESC key, providing a faster and more intuitive navigation experience aligned with common UX standards.
Normalize Audio Stream
Audio levels during video calls are now automatically normalized, reducing the volume gap between loud and quiet participants. This ensures a more balanced, comfortable listening experience where everyone can be heard clearly without constant manual volume adjustments.
Enhancement on Admin Panel > MTA > Inbound Flow & Security
MTA inbound flow and security settings in the Carbonio CE Admin Panel now correctly persist after service restarts or server reboots, ensuring that the values shown in the UI always match the saved configuration.
and many more improvements!

Thank you for the hard work and releasing the new edition.
I have followed the upgrade upgrade guide step by step on an Ubuntu 24.04 VM. TG I made a snapshot before the upgrade.
The packages updates went fine, but I was not able to perform the "pending-setups -a" step because the service discovery server was down and I was not able to start it - and without that the upgrade did not work. (I tried two times. Got the same error.)
Could you please update the Upgrade documentation how can we pass this step?
I was able to restore my saved snapshot and I am ready to test the upgrade one third time once you help me running the "pending-setups -a" step.
Thank you.
...moreover, I have tried a clean single server install following every step in removed link
...using the script.
It failed. (please note, I did it now the second time as the earlier version worked well)
Please find the install log (as I could not attach the file to this message) at removed link
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

@sharif thank you for helping me out.
The problem what I experienced was different... bot on the upgrade and on the clean single server installation via the install script the service-discover failed.
Here are my logs.

Just a wild guess - is the IP address reported in the error message active on the server you are upgrading?
service-discover: error: unexpected argument 192.168.10.144

service-discover: error: unexpected argument 192.168.10.144
Absolutely, it is alive.
This is a single node installation and the IP address is actually the host's own IP address.
My wild guess is that there is some issue with some of the scrips or files... as the error message points toward a scripting issue where an argument is provided that is not expected.
I am considering to check the zextras repository and dive deeper to the code... but of course and expert's insight would help a lot.
Thanks
