Horde (software)

Horde is a free, web-based groupware.

The various components of this groupware are based on the Horde Framework. This is written in PHP Framework provides all the elements for the rapid development of web applications.

The Horde Project has made ​​it its mission to provide the broadest possible support for backends. So Horde with various SQL dialects can be just treated like LDAP and Kolab. Horde supports NoSQL databases like CouchDB and the CalDAV protocol for calendar data. While standard settings using supplied command line scripts or buttons in the admin screen can be created very quickly, there are numerous configuration options and special features that are set up in some cases considerably more complex. A degree of understanding of the underlying technology is required in these cases.

History

Horde is clear from the Webmail IMP ( Internet Messaging Program), which was programmed by Chuck Hagenbuch in the summer of 1998 for his campus. As a starting point for this was the IMAP extension of PHP. After IMP was presented at Freshmeat, there were many extension requests. Not all of these requests were specific for webmail, so Horde was written as a superstructure. Horde should include all the extensions that did not fit to IMP.

  • IMP 1.0 was presented on 23 July 1998 on Freshmeat. At this time consisted IMP from a single PHP file with three functions.
  • On 10 January 2001 Horde is registered as a separate project on Freshmeat.
  • Horde 2.0 and IMP 3.0 were completed in 2001. Horde 2.0 was the first version that can be run without IMP. Horde was now under LGPL
  • On 23 December 2003 Horde 3.0 has been released. The number of Horde modules increased from 6 to 45 Horde since this release uses a PEAR -like package management system for its software libraries.
  • On October 30, 2012 Horde appeared 5
