CONCEPT

The Aegir team is pleased to announce the stable release candidate of the Aegir 3.x branch, 3.0, 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.

In the issue queues the central roadmap issue is: #1261030 [meta] Roadmap: Aegir 3.x (D7 port)

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.

Documentation

The notebook section provides a way for you to store and share information with your group members. With the book feature you can:

  • Add book pages and organize them hierarchically into different books.
  • Attach files to pages to share them with others.
  • Track changes that others have made and revert changes as necessary.
  • Archive books that are no longer of interest to the group. Archived books can be reactivated later if needed.

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
