Hi all,

This is the beta version of Z-Push 2.1.0 (build 1730).
It contains several new features like S/Mime support and administration features. Windows 8 ActiveSync is now also supported.
Compared to 2.1.0 Milestone 2 this version has various general fixes, regarding S/Mime, Blackberry 10 and calendaring.

This version is already used internally in production for some time and we consider it relatively stable.
Please try it and give us your feedback.

For better performance of Windows 8 mail clients changes in the state files are necessary.
When you upgrade from Z-Push 2.0.x or 2.1.0 M1 you need to migrate your Z-Push states - see instructions below.

Please report us your experience, about this release in general and please also about the upgrade process.

Important - NOTE
This version of Z-Push only works with ZCP 7.0.6 or later.

Important - UPGRADE from Z-Push 2.0.x
The states of Z-Push 2.0.x and 2.1.0 M1 are not compatible, but a state migration script is available in the tools folder.

To upgrade, please follow these steps:
1. upgrade your z-push files to the new version
2. mobiles which connect will receive a temporary synchronization error (only visible if you explicitly click "refresh" on the mobiles)
3. run the upgrade script located in the tools folder. The files distributed by us contain a correct configuration of this script to access the config file and locate the state files. If your file locations are different, please check the path settings in the top of the migration script.
4. After running the migration script, mobiles will continue synchronizing without any re-synchronization

You can run the script multiple times, but normally there is no need to do so.
