The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved |
The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved |
|
themselves with this beta release. At this stage in development the role |
|
|
of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and |
|
|
quality of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all |
|
|
levels of users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw |
|
|
the developers attention to, insufficiently transparent system design, |
|
|
up to seasoned and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug |
|
|
triage and verification testing needs lots of community involvement; |
|
|
please try to spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's |
|
|
future. |
|
|
|
|
|
This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core, |
|
|
contains many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server |
|
|
Manager regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the |
|
|
latest stage of development. |

Major changes in beta 6 |
themselves with this release. |
120 |
======================= |
|
121 |
The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling |
|
122 |
reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they |
|
123 |
want because of the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling |
|
124 |
reason. |
|
125 |
|
Notes |
126 |
Samba 3x: |
|
127 |
The Samba packages have reverted to those provided by CentOS to simplify |
===== |
128 |
the support needed. This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 |
|
129 |
domain logins. |
|
130 |
|
|
131 |
|
1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2 |

|
will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware |
134 |
|
|
135 |
|
means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX; |

153 |
|
security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5 |
154 |
|
