- Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the 
latest available release. An overview of the latest supported Major- 
Minor and Public Patch Releases can be found in the Knowledgebase at 
http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Version_Support_Committment. 
In order to ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the 
different supported versions.

- Open-Xchange will discontinue Support for AJP based communication 
between the HTTP server and the OX backend server with the major release 
OX App Suite v7.6, planned in November 2013. Open-Xchange already 
provides a new HTTP connector which is based on the Grizzly project. 
Download and configuration instructions are available at 
http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Grizzly. Starting with 
the release in November 2013, the current AJP based communication won't 
be supported. We encourage administrators to update to the available 
Grizzly implementation.

- Debian 7 (Wheezy) was released by the Debian project on May 4th 2013. 
Both OX AppSuite and Open-Xchange Server 6 will be supported on Debian 7 
with OpenJDK 7 and MySQL 5.5 starting with the next major release of OX 
AppSuite, version 7.4, and the Open-Xchange Server 6 backend which will 
be released at the same time. Please note that the combination Debian 7 
/ OpenJDK 6 or Sun Java 6 will not be supported as a platform by 
Open-Xchange.
