+ 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.
