The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of |
7 |

8 |
major release of SME Server. |
9 |
|
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 |
|
16 |
Bug reports and reports of potential bugs should be raised in the bug |
17 |
tracker (and only there, please); |
18 |
|
19 |
http://bugs.contribs.org/ |
20 |
|
21 |
*************************** |
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 |
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 |

About SME Server |
46 |
================ |
47 |
|
48 |
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium |
49 |
enterprises. |
50 |
|
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 |
Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate. |
60 |
|
61 |
|
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 |
This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core, contains |
76 |
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 |
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 |
