I was surprised and flattered to see Horde get a little mention in this Linux Journal article about Barack Obama and my day job: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/obamas-secret-weapon-geeks-lots-them

(duck@obala.net, Request #6150). * Added beta SQL Permissions driver (duck@obala.net, Request #6150). * Automatically expand the node of the currently open permission. * Only show Add Permission icons if there are sub-permissions to add. * Make sure Horde_Array is available. * Handle and display errors if they occur in the Perms backend.

If you need to distribute resources across multiple servers, consistent hashing is an essential technique. Horde now provides an implementation that allows for different node weights, hashing of any kind of object as a node, and tuning the number of point

The Horde project released the second PHP PEAR package representing a small subpart of the Kolab functionality within the Horde framework: Horde_Kolab_Server.

The package allows to access the Kolab LDAP database. Some examples are being given on a page in the Kolab wiki.

The package is the second in a series of five packages that will be released over the next few months. The full set of packages will allow you to easily deal with data stored on a Kolab server within your own web applications.

In addition the Horde_Kolab_Format-0.1.1 has been released. This is a bug fix release.
