3.0 release notes

CONCEPT

The Aegir team is pleased to announce the stable release of the Aegir 3.0.

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

1. Major changes

  • None, mostly small bugfixes

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.

4. Need help?

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

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.
