Some highlights....they're targeting Dec release.
1. Web GUI
Untangle has completely re-written and re-architected its Java Swing client in favor of a Web 2.0 html interface. The overall interface will look and behave the same, so making the transition should be easy. The Web 2.0 technologies have matured to the point where Untangle can still provide a rich user experience without the long launch time of the Swing client.
The Web GUI also enables some exciting new capabilities, such as skinning and language packs.
2. Language Packs
Untangle now has language support, including double byte character sets, for the majority of the product. Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Chinese are expected to be released by the end of the year. The following areas of Untangle will still be English only:
Untangle Reports
End User interface for Remote Access Portal
Untangle Kiosk the launch button for the Untangle client, Recovery tools, Shutdown/restart/screensaver buttons that are available when plugging a keyboard and monitor directly into an Untangle server.
3. Branding Manager
Untangle has productized its branding module making it easier to rebrand Untangle for your company. Branding Manager allows you to substitute "Untangle" with your company name and the Untangle logo with your company logo. This is mainly so that the user facing pages, such as block pages, quarantine, portal, reports, etc, reinforce your brand or your clients brand.
Branding Manager is now available to all partners and included with every Professional Package Subscription. It can also be purchased a la carte for the flat rate of $10/mo per server (i.e. price is the same for all user bands.) Your standard partner discount applies to any purchase of Branding Manager.
If you are currently running a co-branded instance of Untangle, the branding will migrate upon upgrading to 6.0 but will not be editable. Current Professional Package users will get the ability to immediately brand or edit existing branding on upgrade.
4. eSoft Webfilter
The eSoft Web Filter is based on eSoft's SiteFilter product and technology. It is designed for organizations that need to strictly enforce their web usage policy. Many businesses, as well as schools and libraries who must comply with CIPA, want and need this level of protection. The eSoft Webfilter has:
A 100 million URL database with over 200,000 URLs being added daily
Each company builds-up a local cache on the Untangle server of the sites they visit for maximum performance
53 different categories are available for fine tuning your policy
Dynamic categorization of new sites
Blocking by subdomain (i.e. Permit access to Facebook.com, but block any pages on the site with pornographic content.)
Blocks https/SSL sites by IP
Excellent blocking of short-lived proxy and malware sites
