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. Upgrading from previous releases should only be done on clean + machines without contribs or other modifications. Issues with + upgrading from clean SME machines can be reported in the bug + tracker, but detailed reviews of upgrading paths will not start + until Release Candidate versions are made available. + + Some notes on upgrading from Release 7.4 and release 7.0, 7.1, and + 7.2 versions can be found at http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8 + + You can download SME8.0 Beta 5 from + http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/8/iso/i386/ + +*************************** + +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 and a plea for help +========================== + +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 5 +======================= +The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling reasons +not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they want because of +the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling reason. + +Samba 3.4.3: has been updated from sources provided by ClearOS. +This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 domain logins. + +PHP 5.2.10: is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2. +5.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce. + +LDAP authentication: third party applications can authenticate against +SME Users passwords. LDAP is still read only, built automatically +from SME databases. + +Changes in this release +======================= + +This section of this README file lists all package changes carried out by +SME-associated developers in 2009 and 2010 where the most recent changes +to the package are dated after February 2010. The package changelogs often +included earlier changes and changes carried out by non-SME-associated +developers; these were removed to shorten the list. Packages recently +altered by Centos, Redhat, and Fedora-associated developers are not +included. + +e-smith-backup +- Improved upgrade compatibility, remove .orig [SME: 4809] +- fix mount point for verify [SME: 5765] +- create mount point for verify [SME: 5765] +- remove comment re smbpasswd being last [SME: 5600] +- Fix mounting usb disks [SME: 4809] +- Don't backup more than once per day [SME: 5445] +- Fix full backup on Sunday diplayed as Everyday [SME: 5623] +- Add more excludes for compressed filetypes [SME: 4765] +- Porting Jean-Paul Leclere changes in the SME Server 7 tree to SME Server 8: +- using credentials file for cifs mount [SME: 5442] +- workstation backup: add cifs credentials expand to bootstrap-console-save [SME: 5442] +- workstation backup: allow many backups in the same day [SME: 5411] +- workstation restore: all needed backups must be available before restore [SME: 5397] +- workstation verify: add option to check integrity of backups needed in a full restore [SME: 5405] +- minor fix in translation [SME: 5407] + +e-smith-base +- Restate smartd dependency.
