[appsuite-announce] Open-Xchange releases OX Documents v7.6.1 and OX Guard v1.2.0 for Univention Corporate Server v4.0

[Open-Xchange App Suite Maintenance Announcements]

Dear Customers and Partners of Open-Xchange, 

OX App Suite is the secure, one-stop, centralized hub for all your customers online requirements. Uniting email, calendar, contacts, file storage, office productivity, social media and more, it is the digital place to be – today and tomorrow.

Open-Xchange is pleased to announce both the release of OX Documents v7.6.1 for Univention Corporate Server v4.0 as well as the release of OX Guard v1.2.0 for OX App Suite on Univention Corporate Server. 

OX Documents is a combination of OX Text, an online word processor, OX Spreadsheet and the OX Documents Viewer. Both OX Text and OX Spreadsheet work flawlessly with Microsoft OOXML documents in what we call round-trip compatibility, letting you work in combination with Microsoft or as an alternative to Microsoft. All of which are integrated within OX App Suite and available online. 

With this release the OX Documents collection has been refreshed with improved responsive UI as well as editing and performance enhancements. The new horizontal layout improves usability across all platforms, including tablets and smartphones. This is achieved with an easy-to-navigate tab panel, responsive toolbars, a list of all document collaborators and a new look for the AutoSave feature.

Added features to OX Documents include: 

- Change tracking in OX Text 
- Full interoperability with Microsoft Office change tracking
- Improved clipboard support from MS Word into OX Text
- OX Text “Draft Mode” for smartphones allowing for easy reading and editing on small screen devices
- Enhanced usability on tablet and smartphone 
- New tabbed horizontal user interface
- Automatic zoom/screen fit defaults for different document types

OX Guard is a fully integrated security add-on to OX App Suite. It provides end users with a flexible email and file encryption solution. OX Guard is a highly scalable, multi server solution that is designed to be so simple-to-use that end users will actually use it. With a single click a user takes control of their security. They can send secure emails as well as share encrypted files. This can be done from any device to both OX App Suite and non-OX App Suite users. The browser-based reader, for non-OX App Suite users, is also a perfect location for advertising and viral user acquisition.

The essentials are:

- Simple to use - One click encryption
