Work on {{MessageBox|backgroundcolor = #faa|image =Warning.png|heading =WARNING|message = Amahi 7 for Fedora 19<br />Maintenance Support ONLY!}}<!--Amahi 7 has startedis an almost complete re-engineering of some of the platform software to support a leap in technologies to the latest and greatest. We expect that there will be a lot of changes. Any instability should be [https://bugs.amahi. Expected release is November 2012org reported quickly].

Amahi 7 = New Features =* One-click "clearing" permissions for a share. This eliminates most needs to dive into Linux to deal with file permissions* Plugins for adding setup area tabs (here is [https://github.com/amahi/platform/blob/master/doc/plugins.md how to make a re-engineering of some new plugin])* More stable distribution by bundling most of the platform software to support dependency* Faster and more efficient, through using performance mode in passenger* When a leap user is made admin, that user also becomes sudo-capable at the system level* One-click dynamic toggle in technologies to the latest disk temperature readout between C an F* New initialization flow for first login, cleaner and greatest. We expect that there will be more manageable* Be more permissive about capitalization in usernames, a lot of changes.common mistake for non-unix-natives

= How Features w/ [[Advanced_Settings|Advanced Settings]] Enabled =* One-click selection of the upstream DNS servers to Get Amahi 7 Running =OpenDNS, Google DNS or custom* Easy change of the DHCP lease time* Ability for users to manage their public keys! Like a pro!* Easy changing of the gateway

This = New Technology =Lots of new technology is based on a bare Fedora 17 '''minimal''' install.going into Amahi 7: 1) First let's install the dependencies* Using [http:  yum -y install bind bind-utils caching-nameserver sudo dhcp samba httpd yum -y install monit perl-Authen-PAM fpaste yum -y install //www.ruby-mysql ruby-libs eruby ruby-augeaslang.org/ Ruby] 2.0, which is substantially faster than the previous version of Ruby we used in Amahi 6 yum -y install ruby-irb ruby-racc rubygem-rdoc eruby-libs* Using a very stable yet recent [http://rubyonrails.org/ Ruby on Rails] (3.2.14) yum * We are using the [http://slim-y install perl-Authen-PAM perl-libwww-perllang.com/ Slim] template engine for the platform, which makes it easier to manage new code yum -y install cadaver php php-mysql perl-URI filesystem rubygem-passenger 2) Here is one binary, compiled * Based on [[Fedora 1719]], because ruby 2.0, passenger and RoR 3.x are in by default in it* New plugin system where simple plugins can be easily generated and developed for 64bits and '''only 64bits'''the Amahi setup area. See the [https://github.com/amahi/platform/blob/master/doc/plugins.md docs about plugins] for details on how to develop one of your own

3) In addition, here is the _binary_ for hda-platform, also compiled on Fedora 17, for 64bits and '''only 64bits, even though it's a noarch rpmNOTE:'''. (This is a temporary work-around.)  wget <nowiki>http://alpha.amahi.org/tmp/hda-platform-6.2.1-1.noarch.rpm</nowiki> rpm -Uvh hda-platform-6.2.1-1.noarch.rpm # this should give you exactly ONE error with missing dependencies: hda-greyhole (if not, let us know!) rpm --nodeps -Uvh hdactl-4.2.1-1.x86_64.rpm 4) Access <code>http://localhost:2000</code> (or the IP of the machine instead of localhost) and the installer should come up. You may need to reboot to see it, not sure. 5) Create a profile in Amahi.org and get an install code. Punch this in and click on install 6) Report errors 7) If it all worked, reboot and the dashboard should come up at <code>http://hda</code> (or <code>http://IP-OF-THE-MACHINE</code>) = New Technology =* Using [http://www.ruby-lang.org/ Ruby] 1.9.x* Using the latest [http://rubyonrails.org/ Ruby on Rails] (probably 3.2.x)* We will try to use the [http://slim-lang.com/ Slim] template engine for the platform* Based on Fedora 17 (or 18), because ruby 1.9 and RoR 3.x are in by default in it.** We're not "abandoning" Ubuntu or "going back" to Fedora. We will attempt to support '''both''' in alternate releases. However, Fedora is the first one to bring Ruby 12.9 0 and RoR 3.x out of the box, so far.

= Hopeful Missing Features =We will work on these for the next major release:* New disk wizardas a plugin.* Widgets* Gadgets* More modularManual creation of web apps as a plugin.* Faster and more efficientWake on LAN.

= How to Help Release Notes =There are several ways to help:* If you are a contributor, make sure you get a machine running with Amahi 7 and get your apps to run on it* If you want to test View the install, get a VM and an ISO file of the base OS and let's test! This is probably the best way to help without deep technical knowledge.* If you want to help with the platform, get in the Amahi [[Mailing listAmahi_7_release_notes|Release Notes]] for Amahi 7 versions detailing of bug fixes and get some patches going. Ruby and RoR can help here.* Testing and porting themes will also help* Want to develop a new theme?
