1.9 release notes

The Aegir team is proud to announce the ninth release in the stable 1.x release branch! This release ships two minor security fixes and various bugfixes that have accumulated in the issue queue since the 1.8 release.

We also want to announce that Omega8.cc is joining the growing list of organisations financially supporting the core development of the Aegir project. In a partnership with Koumbit.org, Omega8.cc is dedicating money to make sure Antoine Beaupré, one of the core team members, can dedicate one day a week of his time on raw Aegir development. Along with the existing commitments of Computerminds (Steven Jones), mig5 (Miguel Jacq) and the existing commitment of Koumbit.org, Aegir is well assured of continuous development and long term maintenance.

1. Installing and upgrading

The canonical source of installation documentation is on the community site at:

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.

It is still imperative that you read the the upgrade path and version-specific information and follow all version-specific upgrade instructions before trying to run the upgrade script or manual upgrade. This especially applies to users upgrading from releases prior to 0.4-alpha8, including 0.3.

For users coming from the 0.4 betas or recent rc releases, there are unlikely to be any version-specific manual steps required to upgrade, but you should make a habit of reading them anyway just to make sure. No-one likes a nasty surprise!

2. Need help?

If you struggle to install or upgrade your Aegir system, you have a number of options available to you for getting help.

Consult this page for more information: http://community.aegirproject.org/help

Thanks to our awesome community for their help, support and encouragement as always! Enjoy the new release :)
