SME11 Roadmap

Work in progress

This page provides the roadmap objectives and status updates for SME Server version 11

Base software present

here is some of the basic software that will be present on SME11. Modular is a way to change the default version running on the system. Software collection allows you torun multiple version aside, e.g. php-**-php-fpm.

for modules enabled by [default]

name	core version	Apstream modules	Remi modular	Remi-safe software collection
horde	6		6 with php8.2
httpd	2.4	[2.4]
mariadb	10.5	[10.3] 10.5
perl	5.26.3	5.24 [5.26] 5.30 5.32
