I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.6 of the OpenISR
system.  This release includes the following changes:

- Add support for Fedora 11, Ubuntu 9.04, and RHEL 5
- Add support for VirtualBox 2.2 and 3.0
- Add support for kernel 2.6.30
- No longer upload session log to the server on checkin/sync
- Other changes; see changelog below

UPGRADE NOTES
-------------

This release adds several additional library and tool dependencies.
Please check the README for the current list.


If you installed an earlier version of the server from source, note that
the default content paths have changed.  To maintain access to your
existing parcels, you must add the following lines to your server's
/etc/openisr/locksrv.conf:

	content_root = /var/www/html
	http_path =

If the previous server version was installed via a binary package, this
issue does not apply to you.


If you installed an earlier version of the client from source, note that
OpenISR 0.9.6 uses different names for the following files:

	/etc/udev/openisr.rules (=> openisr-client.rules)
	/etc/udev/rules.d/openisr.rules (=> openisr-client.rules)
	/etc/bash_completion.d/openisr (=> openisr-client)
	/etc/init.d/openisr (=> openisr-client)

You should ensure that the old versions of these files are removed and
that the old initscript is no longer run at startup and shutdown.  If
the previous client version was installed via a binary package, this
issue does not apply to you.

SUPPORTED LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS
-----------------------------

As of this release, we are producing binary packages (both 32-bit and
64-bit) for the following Linux distributions:

- Debian Etch (4.0)
- Debian Lenny (5.0)
- Ubuntu Hardy (8.04)
- Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10)
- Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
- Fedora 10
- Fedora 11
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

If your Linux distribution is not listed above but is sufficiently
recent to meet the system requirements (see the README for details), you
should still be able to build from source.
