OpenGoo, an easy to use open source web office software, which we have reviewed here, has recently released its final version of 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 final release of OpenGoo version 1.6. Following are the new features in this release,

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 its still searchable and accessible via the “Archived Objects” workspace.

Mark as read/unread for all types of objects

Until now the read/unread functionality was available only 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.

Improvements to the email module

• With this new version of OpenGoo, mail accounts can be shared among several users. This allows multiple users to read or write email from one common email account.
• You can assign a workspace to a mail account to automatically classify email to that workspace.
• One can group emails into conversations. And, 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 in-line images into OpenGoo emails.
• Pre-configurations for known emails (GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo) when setting up an email account.

Document editor upgraded: The new version loads much faster on all browsers. Functionality and cross-browser compatibility has been improved. You can insert images into a document, from your PC or from OpenGoo.

Other improvements

• Improved workspace permissions edition and password recovery procedure.
• Events can now span more than one day.
• Basic editing concurrency. A user is warned if an object being edited was edited by someone else.
• Importing VCard contacts.
• Filter the Object Picker (the popup control to pick objects when linking) by text.
