We expect that there will be a lot of changes. Any instability should be [https://bugs.amahi.org reported quickly].

Like a pro!* Manual creation Easy changing of webappsthe gateway
= New Technology =
Lots of new technology is going into Amahi 7:
* Using [http://www.ruby-lang.org/ Ruby] 2.0, 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 19]], because ruby 2.0, passenger and RoR 3.x are in by default in it
'''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 2.0 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.
