Development Release: SME Server 8.0 Beta 4 |
| Ian Wells has announced the availability of the fourth beta release of SME Server, a CentOS-based distribution for servers: "The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of SME Server 8.0 beta 4 which will be the next major release of SME Server. This release is based on CentOS 5.3 and all packages have been updated to the latest versions. Testers please note: CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8 will not work on i586 hardware; upgrading from previous releases should only be done on clean machines. Issues with upgrading from clean SME machines can be reported in the bug tracker, but detailed reviews of upgrading paths will not start until release candidate versions are made available." Here is the release announcement with a full changelog. Download: smeserver-8.0beta4-i386.iso (615MB, MD5). |

| About SME Server |
| SME Server (known as e-smith at the time) was founded in January 1999 by Joseph and Kim Morrison. The company introduced the first version of its flagship software product, the e-smith server and gateway, in April 1999. By the end of the year, many thousands of e-smith servers were running in countries from Fiji to Finland. Word was spreading quickly among developers and systems integrators who needed a solid, easy-to-use server for their small-business customers. In July 2001, e-smith was acquired by Mitel Networks, in September 2004 by Lycoris, and the project is currently sponsored by Resource Strategies, Inc. |
