|
| 6 |
The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of |
| 7 |
SME Server 8.0beta5 which is based on CentOS 5.4 and will be the next |
| 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 |
