* IMPORTANT: Pre-upgrade step for 7.0pre1 and 7.0beta releases * |
|
|
**************************************************************** |
|
|
Before upgrading to 7.0 from 7.0pre1 or any of the 7.0beta |
|
|
releases, you must run the following command: |
|
|
|
|
|
kudzu -q |
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not do this _prior_ to the upgrade, your system may |
|
|
not boot. If this happens, please see the workaround here: |

7.0beta9 -> 7.0pre1 |
|
|
=================== |
|
|
- Test Internet Access now accesses contribs.org and only passes two |
|
|
pieces of information - the version installed on your server and |
|
|
a string used to differentiate your server from others using this |
|
|
test. This string is generated by a one-way hash function and access |
|
|
to the string does not provide any information about your server. |
|
|
|
|
|
We appreciate your assistance in sending this information so we can |
|
|
gain an accurate count of the installed servers. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Server manager changed to use contribs.org branding. CSS files still |
|
|
need to be updated. |

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Reconfiguration reboot added to "Shutdown and Reboot" panel |
|
|
(added in Beta9). This performs a "post-upgrade" and a "reboot" and |
|
|
should be used after system and yum upgrades. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Automated conversion to RAID on upgrade feature removed. |
|
|
|

|
plugin statistics in /var/log/qpsmtpd/state |

|
A new boot option "nospare" has been added if you are certain that |
