3.0-beta2 release notes
The Aegir team is pleased to announce the forth preview release (beta) of the Aegir 3.x branch, after months of development. Development has been sometimes intermittent, but it is not over yet!
This release is tailored to make upcoming changes available to a wider audience than people ready to install from git, but also to make features more widely available and tested. More beta releases will be published when there are substantial changes.
In the issue queues the central roadmap issue is: #1261030 [meta] Roadmap: Aegir 3.x (D7 port)
1. Major changes
- Improved SSL support
- Both Drush stable (6.6.0) and 7.x (the master branch) are supported.
2. Major API changes
to be determined.
3. Installing and upgrading
The canonical source of installation documentation is
http://docs.aegirproject.org/en/latest/install.html
We're in the process of converting our docs, the old version is on http://community.aegirproject.org/installing
In a similar fashion, the upgrade documentation is:
http://community.aegirproject.org/upgrading
Within those sections you'll find step-by-step instructions for performing both manual and automatic upgrade processes.
Note that you should upgrade to the latest 2.x release (currently: 2.4) before attempting the upgrade to 3.x..
It is still imperative that you read the upgrade path and version-specific information and follow all version-specific upgrade instructions before trying to run the upgrade script or manual upgrade.
