66 |
|
The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved |
67 |
|
themselves with this beta release. At this stage in development the role |
68 |
|
of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and |
69 |
|
quality of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all |
70 |
|
levels of users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw |
71 |
|
the developers attention to, insufficiently transparent system design, |
72 |
|
up to seasoned and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug |
73 |
|
triage and verification testing needs lots of community involvement; |
74 |
|
please try to spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's |
75 |
|
future. |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core, |
78 |
|
contains many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server |
79 |
|
Manager regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the |
80 |
|
latest stage of development. |
