OpenGoo, an easy to use open source web office software, which we have reviewed here, has just released its new version 1.6. In brief, OpenGoo is a web office software that allows a group of people to collaborate by sharing information over the Internet. It is a complete solution for every organization to create, collaborate, share and publish all its internal and external documents. You can plan and manage all your projects, easily following the status of every task, set milestones, pending tasks, personal notes etc.,

This is the first beta release towards version 1.6 final.

The most important changes for this version are:

Archive objects and workspaces:

• When you no longer need an object or workspace you can archive it to remove it from your every day views, while it still is searchable and accessible through the “Archived Objects” workspace.

Mark as read/unread for all types of objects

• Until now the read/unread functionality was only available for emails. Now it is also available for all other types of content objects. If an object was modified since your last view it will be marked in bold for you to quickly notice that it has changes. Once you view the object it will be marked as read.

Tons of improvements to the email module

• Share mail accounts among several users. This allows several users to read or write email from one common email account.
• Assign a workspace to a mail account to automatically classify email to that workspace.
• Group emails into conversations. Quickly access an email’s replies or original message from the email’s view.
• Attach files directly from your computer when writing an email.
• Send other emails as attachments. Just attach an email and mark the “Attach contents” checkbox.
• Email Junk folder. Mail classified as spam by your mail server is sent to the “Junk” folder.
• Emails are sent asynchronously. You can continue working on OpenGoo while an email is being sent. Useful if sending email through a remote SMTP server.
• Create task from email. Shortcut to quickly create a task from an email.
• Insert inline images into OpenGoo emails.
• Pre-configurations for known emails (GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo) when setting up an email account.

Upgraded the document editor

• Improved loading times. The new version loads much faster on all browsers.
• Improved cross-browser compatibility.
• Improved functionality. Insert images into a document, from the computer or from OpenGoo.

Lots of other improvements and bug fixes have been made in this release, read more.
