After meeting with our CEO and with the Head of the Dev Team I've been finally authorized to publish the official 2014 Roadmap for ZeXtras Suite!
Please bear in mind that, as usual, a "compatibility-only" release will follow any Zimbra release: thus, version numbers mentioned in the roadmap might be shifted forward according to the need of this kind of intermediate releases.

Now, to the juicy part:

ZeXtras Suite 1.8.17 Expected Release date: mid-July 2014
* New External Backup and *scan engine: improved performances and error handling.
* Delegated Admin UI improvements (Zimbra 8.x): HUGE performance improvements, especially for Domain Admins managing more than 2-300 mailboxes.
* Improved "Account Info" backup: improved response time in account settings and preferences backup.

ZeXtras Suite 1.8.18 Expected Release date: end of August 2014
* XMPP Proxy: ZeXtras Chat will automatically proxy XMPP requests to the appropriate server.
* HSM Secondary Volume autoswitch: automatically promote a Secondary volume to "Current" should the target volume run out of space during an "Apply HSM" operation.
* Dynamic Buddylists based on Distribution Lists: an option to automatically add/remove users from each other's buddy lists based on the membership of a Distribution List.
* Dynamic volume compression: a feature that will allow to compress the content of a volume during a "doDeduplicate" operation.

ZeXtras Suite 2.0.0 Expected Release Date: Q4/2014
* ZxMobile Full Refactoring, including Remote Operations: shared items will be available on your mobile client!
* XMPP Static Rooms: Multi-user chat between members of a distribution list.
* Attachment Indexing: Attachment contents will be indexed and thus will be fully searchable, straight from the Zimbra WebClient
* Video Chat: Browser-based video chat capabilities!

ZeXtras Suite 2.0.X Some of the features planned for release in 2015, in no particular order.
* New Disaster Recovery engine: a new type of Restore Operation specifically build for Disaster Recovery means.
* Custom Import: The External Restore operation will allow you to choose only one or more types of items to be restored.
* XMPP Interop (Federation): Chat with users from different XMPP servers.
* Refactoring of all Restore operations: External Restore, Restore on New Account and Undelete Restore will be rewritten from scratch to dramatically improve the operations' peformances.
* Mailbox Move: move a mailbox between different mailboxd servers in the same Zimbra infrastructure.
* S-MIME validation: incoming S-MIME emails will be evaluated and validated.
* Attachment Preview: covering the most common file formats.
* Server-wide Discovery: Admins will be able to run searches across multiple mailboxes.
* Offsite native backup replication

This is NOT the full list of features that will be released in the related ZeXtras Suite version, this is just a list of the most important additions we plan to introduce within the next months.

Have a nice day,
