[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen RC 1.4 Released

[Karen G. Schneider]

On Friday, October 17, 2008, the Evergreen community released Evergreen 
1.4, Release Candidate 1. It is linked on the project website downloads 
page http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads.php , or go directly to 
http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/Evergreen-ILS-1.4.0.0-rc1.tar.gz

This release is suitable for testing new installations of Evergreen and 
trying out the new features available in version 1.4. Partial upgrade 
instructions from the 1.2 series are available 
<http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=upgrading:1.2_to_1.4> ( 
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=upgrading:1.2_to_1.4 ) and will 
evolve throughout the Release Candidate process.

This will not be the last RC for 1.4, but barring major issues other 
than installation and upgrade cleanup, it is very close. We invite and 
encourage you to download and install this version for testing purposes 
but recommend that you wait until the final 1.4.0.0 release for 
production use. This version of Evergreen requires version 1.0 or 
greater of OpenSRF, linked above.

You can read more about 1.4 on the Evergreen Development Roadmap:

Congratulations to the developers -- and please do test this out and 
report back!
