5 wellsi 1.2
6     The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of
7 wellsi 1.4 SME Server 8.0beta5 which is based on CentOS 5.4 and will be the next
8     major release of SME Server.
9 wellsi 1.3
10     ***************************
11     SME Server users should not upgrade production servers to this release
12     but those who can are encouraged to load the beta to a dedicated test
13     machine and take part in the testing phase.
14     ***************************
15 wellsi 1.2
16 wellsi 1.3 Bug reports and reports of potential bugs should be raised in the bug
17     tracker (and only there, please);
18 wellsi 1.2
19     http://bugs.contribs.org/
20    
21 wellsi 1.3 ***************************
22     Testers Please Note the following...
23    
24     1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8
25     will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
26     means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
27     AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
28     are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
29     Athlon XP and later.
30    
31     2. Upgrading from previous releases should only be done on clean
32     machines without contribs or other modifications. Issues with
33     upgrading from clean SME machines can be reported in the bug
34     tracker, but detailed reviews of upgrading paths will not start
35     until Release Candidate versions are made available.
36    
37 wellsi 1.4 Some notes on upgrading from Release 7.4 and release 7.0, 7.1, and
38     7.2 versions can be found at http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
39    
40     You can download SME8.0 Beta 5 from

45     About SME Server
46     ================
47    
48     SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
49 wellsi 1.4 enterprises.
50 wellsi 1.2
51     SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License
52     and is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
53     However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
54     meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.
55    
56     As such, we ask for a small donation to offset costs and fund further
57     development.
58    
59 wellsi 1.4 Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate.
60 wellsi 1.2
61 wellsi 1.3
62     Thanks and a plea for help
63     ==========================
64    
65     The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
66     themselves with this beta release. At this stage in development the role
67     of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and quality
68     of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all levels of
69     users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw the developers
70     attention to, insufficiently transparent system design, up to seasoned
71     and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug triage and
72     verification testing needs lots of community involvement; please try to
73     spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's future.
74    
75 wellsi 1.4 This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core, contains
76 wellsi 1.3 many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server Manager
77     regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the latest stage
78     of development.
79    
80 wellsi 1.4 Major changes in beta 5
81     =======================
82     The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling reasons
83     not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they want because of
84     the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling reason.
85    
86     Samba 3.4.3: has been updated from sources provided by ClearOS.
87     This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 domain logins.
88    
89     PHP 5.2.10: is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2.
90     5.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce.
91    
92     LDAP authentication: third party applications can authenticate against
93     SME Users passwords. LDAP is still read only, built automatically
94     from SME databases.
95    
96 wellsi 1.2 Changes in this release
97     =======================
98    
99 wellsi 1.4 This section of this README file lists all package changes carried out by
100     SME-associated developers in 2009 and 2010 where the most recent changes
101     to the package are dated after February 2010. The package changelogs often
102     included earlier changes and changes carried out by non-SME-associated
103     developers; these were removed to shorten the list. Packages recently
104     altered by Centos, Redhat, and Fedora-associated developers are not
105     included.
