In 4.1, eXo Platform introduces some new features that administrators and end-users will be keen to see.
| Social Email Notification | |
| This feature helps users keep track what happens in the intranet, by sending email notification on wide range of activities. Users can subscribe, unsubscribe and choose which activities they are interested in. |
 |
| Add-ons Manager | |
A simple but powerful tool to manage your add-ons now replaces the old extension.sh. eXo Add-ons are distributed online
and eXo Add-ons Manager helps you install and upgrade them in a breeze.

 |
| Calendar UX Improvement | |
|
Recurring event: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and more flexible patterns are supported. End-date suggestion: comforts the creation and editing of events. |
 |
| eXo Chat | |
|
eXo Chat enhances your team collaboration through many functions, like file sharing, recording, Video Calls integrated, and Calendar integrated. |
 |
| Video Calls | |
|
Video Calls is a new add-on compatible with eXo Platform 4.1 and later. It brings real-time collaboration via screen sharing, one-to-one and group calls. This feature is integrated anywhere you can see people's activities. |

Configuration Simplification
Setting up cluster now can be done very quickly:
Less steps to set it up and less files to be modified.
Quartz job persistence is pre-configured and can be activated simply. Scripts are in the package.
UDP is now the default protocol, to ease JGroups configuration.
The external properties of eXo Platform are refined, better ready-made:
The
exo.propertiesfile replacesconfiguration.propertiesand the variable namespace changes into exo.*.Less external configuration files:
shindig.properties,oauthkey.pem, jgroups, jcr and cachexmlfiles are set internal.There are no longer overlaps between customize script (
setenv-customize) andexo.properties. The script is for JVM and AS settings only.A new properties file is dedicated for upgrade settings:
upgrade.properties.
