Considerations before installing

Since SME Server 8.0 is still beta no contribs will be released. Once the Release Candidate status is reached contribs will be released for contrib owners to check if their packages need updating.

Major Changes

bugzilla:2845. i586 hardware means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX; AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon, Athlon XP and later.
