message = Amahi 7 for Fedora 19<br />Maintenance Support ONLY!}}

* 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 new plugin])
* More stable distribution by bundling most of the platform dependency
* Faster and more efficient, through using performance mode in passenger
* When a user is made admin, that user also becomes sudo-capable at the system level
* One-click dynamic toggle in disk temperature readout between C an F
* New initialization flow for first login, cleaner and more manageable
* Be more permissive about capitalization in usernames, a common mistake for non-unix-natives
= Features w/ [[Advanced_Settings|Advanced Settings]] Enabled =
* One-click selection of the upstream DNS servers to OpenDNS, Google DNS or custom

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** '''NOTE:''' 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. = Missing Features =We will work on these for the next major release:* New disk wizard as a plugin.* Manual creation of web apps as a plugin.* Wake on LAN.
