+ ======
  The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved

- 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
- =======================
+ Notes
- 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
+. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2
- reason.
+    will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware

- Samba 3x:

+    Athlon XP and later.
- domain logins.
+. Some notes on SME Server 8.2 including help on upgrades can be found at
+    http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
+. Please note Upstream policy on Production Phase 3 for EL5. Only those
+    security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5

+    workloads from SME Server 8 to SME Server 9.
+    Planned EOL for CentOS 5 is Mar 31 2017
