We expect that there will be a lot of changes. Any instability should be [https://bugs.amahi.org as a repo at the time that Fedora allows you to add new reposreported quickly]. We are past the phase of installing packages by hand and want to start testing as users would install!

<hr= 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 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

Amahi 7 is a 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. = How to Get Amahi 7 Running New Technology = This 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 yum-plugin-fastestmirror yum -y install wget bind bind-utils caching-nameserver sudo dhcp samba httpd yum -y install monit perl-Authen-PAM fpaste mysql-server perl-DBI yum -y install //www.ruby-devel ruby-mysql ruby-libs eruby ruby-augeas yum -y install ruby-irb ruby-racc rubygem-rdoc eruby-libs yum -y install perl-Authen-PAM perl-libwww-perl yum -y install cadaver php php-mysql perl-URI filesystem rubygem-passenger yum -y install mysql-server perl-DBI ruby-devel yum -y install hddtemp mod_passenger patch rubygem-passenger-native wol yum -y install tar unzip bzip2 rsync lang.org/ Ruby] 2) Here are two binaries.0, compiled on Fedora 17, for 64bits and '''only 64bits even though which is substantially faster than the second one is previous version of Ruby we used in Amahi 6* Using a noarch rpm'''. (This is a temporary work-around.)  wget <nowiki>very stable yet recent [http://alpha.amahirubyonrails.org/tmp/hdactl-4Ruby on Rails] (3.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm</nowiki>14) wget <nowiki>* We are using the [http://alpha.amahi.org/tmp/hda-platformslim-6lang.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm<com/nowiki> # Slim] template engine for the next command should give you exactly TWO errors with missing dependencies:platform, which makes it easier to manage new code # hda-greyhole and a weird * Based on [[Fedora 19]], because ruby line (if not, let us know!!) rpm -Uvh hdactl-4.2.2-10, passenger and RoR 3.x86_64.rpm hda-platform-6.2.2-1x are in by default in it* New plugin system where simple plugins can be easily generated and developed for the Amahi setup area.x86_64.rpm # this overrides See the dependencies[https: rpm --nodeps -Uvh hdactl-4//github.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm hda-com/amahi/platform-6.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm 3) Start the installer  systemctl start amahi-installer.service systemctl stop iptables.service 4) Access <code>http:/blob/master/localhost:2000<doc/code> (or the IP of the machine instead of localhost) and the installer should come upplugins. You may need md docs about plugins] for details on how to reboot to see it, not sure. 5) Create a profile in Amahi.org and get an install code.

6) If it succeeded reboot and the dashboard should come up at <code>http'''NOTE://hda</code> (or <code>http://IP-OF-THE-MACHINE</code>).

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?
