SME Server 8.1 Release Notes
============================

04 July 2013

The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of
SME Server 8.1 which is based on CentOS 5.9

Bug reports and reports of potential bugs should be raised in the bug
tracker (and only there, please);

    http://bugs.contribs.org/

About SME Server
================

SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
enterprises.

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 small donation to offset costs and fund further
development.

Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate.

Thanks
======

The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
themselves with this release.

Notes
=====

1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8
   will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
   means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
   AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
   are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
   Athlon XP and later.

2. Some notes on SME 8 including help on upgrades can be found at
   http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8

3. Please note it may take up to 48 hours for mirrors to finish syncing,
   during this time you may experience problems.
   You can download SME8.1 from
   http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/8/iso/i386/
   or for other methods see http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
