= New Technology =
Lots of new technology is going into Amahi 7:
 * Using [http://www.ruby-lang.org/ Ruby] 1.92.x0, which is substantially faster than the previous version of Ruby we used in Amahi 6* Using the latest a very stable yet recent [http://rubyonrails.org/ Ruby on Rails] (probably 3.2.13 or later14)
* We are using the [http://slim-lang.com/ Slim] template engine for the platform, which makes it easier to manage new code
* Based on [[Fedora 1819]], because ruby 12.9 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 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
<b>'''NOTE:</b> ''' 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. = New Features =* One-click fixing of permissions for a share* 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* When a user is made admin, that user also becomes sudo-capable at the system level* Ability for users to manage their public keys!

= Hopeful features Missing Features =We will work on these for the next major release:* New disk wizardas a plugin.* WidgetsManual creation of web apps as a plugin.* GadgetsWake 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? Check the [[How to Create a new Theme]] page* Stop by and hang out on our IRC Channel #Amahi on irc.freenodeenhancememts.net-->
