About SME Server
================
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc.,
a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support
for SME Server.

SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.

However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.

As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development.

a) If you are a school, a church, a non-profit organisation or an 
individual using SME Server for private purposes, we would appreciate 
you to contribute within your means toward the costs associated with 
hosting, maintenance and development.

b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME 
Server in the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to 
make a donation commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and 
the number of servers your have in the field. Please, help the project

Please visit https://wiki.koozali.org/Donate to donate.

Koozali Inc is happy to supply an invoice for any donations received,
simply email treasurer at koozali.org

Notes
=====
In-place upgrades are not supported. It is necessary to backup and then 
restore. (Remember, testing purpose only),

Restore of a sme9 console or workstation backup is now fully supported

Single disk install no longer creates a degraded Raid1 array, Two or more disks
will be created as a Raid1-6 array, see wiki https://wiki.contribs.org/Raid

The spare handling for RAID arrays is now implemented. 

Support for further Raid configuration on install is now implemented - see wiki 

New Server-Manager Framework, Mojolicious, is now well on the way to full implementation

USB installs are once again fully supported, 
Note: it is important to use proposed apps to create the boot media
See: https://wiki.koozali.org/Install_From_USB 

Netinstall is once again fully supported

Install to a system supporting a UEFI BIOS is also now fully supported

Console backup, and workstation backup to removable storages is now fully supported.

A plethora of other under the hood changes, too numerous to list

The work that has gone into getting SME 10 to this stage has been enormous, an attempt to list
and detail the work that has been done in recent months would not do justice to the effort
contributed by the following,
