Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Zimbra/zm-mailbox: Focused on stabilizing release metadata tagging by addressing a critical bug affecting External Email Warning and Package Usage Reporting. The change aligns since-version tagging across multiple attribute definitions to 10.1.13, enabling accurate version tracking and consistent feature reporting for admins during upgrades. Implemented via a single, well-tracked commit (ZCS-18141: 0e4a1a75a226879969ebd0b5d8951491b0d4df50), with clear traceability and minimal surface area for regressions. Overall, improved governance for versioned features and reduced risk of misreporting in release metadata.
