'''While SME Server 8 is still beta, we encourage you to install updates from the smeupdates-testing repository, either manually or automatically'''.   

'''During beta testing, users were encouraged to install updates from the smeupdates-testing repository, either manually or automatically'''.   

'''If you are running SME 8 on a production server you may want to review the updates before you install them. To manually update, from the command line run 'yum --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing update'.  If you are testing and want to be notified of updates in smeupdates-testing, in the server-manager go to: Software Installer => Change Software Installer Settings => Make sure CentOS-os,updates & SME-addons,extras,os,updates,updates-testing are all selected => Save.  Just be sure to disable smeupdates-testing once SME 8 is officially released if you choose to enable it in the server-manager'''

'''After installing the 8.0 final release, users should ensure that smeupdates-testing repo is disabled in the server-manager panel, if it was previously enabled during beta testing'''

Please report any issues to our bug tracker under the SME Server 8 section only if you have installed all current updates from the smeupdates-testing repository, or you may be having an issue that has already been fixed.

Since SME Server 8.0 is still beta no contribs will be released.  

Contrib owners/maintainers should check their packages for compatibility on SME Server 8.0 final and update them if necessary.  

Once the Release Candidate status is reached contribs will be released for contrib owners to check if their packages need updating.

For comments regarding contrib test results on previous SME8beta releases see [[SME8.0 Contribs QA]]

 

For testing of contribs in advance of release see [[SME8.0 Contribs QA]]
