7.0beta9 -> 7.0pre1 |
| 208 |
|
|
=================== |
| 209 |
|
|
- Test Internet Access now accesses contribs.org and only passes two |
| 210 |
|
|
pieces of information - the version installed on your server and |
| 211 |
|
|
a string used to differentiate your server from others using this |
| 212 |
|
|
test. This string is generated by a one-way hash function and access |
| 213 |
|
|
to the string does not provide any information about your server. |
| 214 |
|
|
|
| 215 |
|
|
We appreciate your assistance in sending this information so we can |
| 216 |
|
|
gain an accurate count of the installed servers. |
| 217 |
|
|
|
| 218 |
|
|
- Server manager changed to use contribs.org branding. CSS files still |
| 219 |
|
|
need to be updated. |
| 220 |
|
|
|
| 221 |
|
|
- Usernames of the form first.last and first_last are now allowed. |
| 222 |
|
|
|
| 223 |
|
|
- The maximum length of user and group names has increased from twelve to 31. |
| 224 |
|
|
|
| 225 |
|
|
- Reconfiguration reboot added to "Shutdown and Reboot" panel |
| 226 |
|
|
(added in Beta9). This performs a "post-upgrade" and a "reboot" and |
| 227 |
|
|
should be used after system and yum upgrades. |
| 228 |
|
|
|
| 229 |
|
|
- Automated conversion to RAID on upgrade feature removed. |
