Google Workspace Updates: 2012

Enforce SSL on the contacts APIs

Thứ Tư, 19 tháng 12, 2012

Google Apps administrators now have the ability to enforce SSL connections on the Contacts APIs through a setting in the control panel. This setting provides added security against session hijacking and user impersonation. It affects these APIs:

- Contacts API
- Domain Shared Contacts API
- Google Apps Profiles API

Note that this setting will be OFF by default because some widely used legacy contacts applications do not support SSL. Early next year, we will set the Enforce SSL option to ON for all new domains and all existing domains where we do not detect a contacts API request from one of these legacy applications within the previous week.

Docs Export Format Change: Delayed to 1/31/2013 for Scheduled Release Domains

Thứ Ba, 9 tháng 10, 2012

On September 25, we announced that we would be changing some of the file exporting functionality in Google Docs on October 1 for scheduled release track customers.

We recognize that some of our customers would like more time before the change goes into effect. As you may have noticed, that change did not go into effect on October 1. In order to support our customers and help them through the transition, we have delayed the export format change for scheduled release track customers until January 31, 2013.

We recently added the ability to export Google documents to the newer Microsoft Office formats that rely on open standards (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx). To continue adding new features and innovations to Google Docs, we’ll be focusing our resources on exporting to these newer open formats rather than the older, proprietary Office formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt) that were used in Office 97-2003.

Supporting modern browsers: Internet Explorer 8 support discontinued

As we announced last year, we support the latest version of Google Chrome (which automatically updates whenever it detects that a new version of the browser is available) as well as the current and prior major release of Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version of one of these browsers is released, we begin supporting the update and stop supporting the third-oldest version.

Internet Explorer 10 launches on 10/26/2012, and as a result, we will discontinue support for Internet Explorer 8 shortly afterwards, on 11/15/2012. After this date users accessing Google Apps services using Internet Explorer 8 will see a message recommending that they upgrade their browser.

Bringing Google+ to work: Preview of enterprise features

Thứ Tư, 29 tháng 8, 2012

We have now launched a preview of Google+ premium features in the administrator control
panel. Admins can setup default restrictions that will allow users in the domain to freely
exchange ideas and share information while keeping company information private.

Post Restrictions: Admins can set all new posts to be restricted within the domain by
default. Unless a user deliberately chooses to remove this restriction on a post, it cannot
ever be reshared outside the domain by anyone. External users cannot be added via
comments either. Note that a restricted post will always remain restricted. A post can only
be made public when it is first created.

Restricted Hangouts: When this feature is turned on, external users will only be able to join
a Hangout to which they are explicitly invited to. Everyone in the domain will always be
able to join any Hangout as long as they have the URL. Note that this is a default. Users can
always make Hangouts public.
