SME Server 8.1 Release Notes ============================ 04 July 2013 The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of SME Server 8.1 which is based on CentOS 5.9 Bug reports and reports of potential bugs should be raised in the bug tracker (and only there, please); http://bugs.contribs.org/ 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 ====== The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved themselves with this release. Notes ===== 1. 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.
