The ninth release candidate for FOG 1.6.0 is available on the rc-1.6.0 branch. It reports version 1.6.0-RC-9.
Test it on a lab or non-production server first. The upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 is one-way: it changes the database schema, and there is no down-migration.
Changed since RC-8
- FOG Agent: a held domain rename reports
pending, notfailed(#1850). After a join or rename attempt, the server waits one hour before it sends the AD credentials again. A second rename within that hour waited, and agent 0.1.12 loggedhostname: failedat every poll. The server now tells the agent when the rename may go ahead. Agent 0.1.13 logshostname: pending (... this one runs after <time>)and renames on the first poll after that time. Older agents still logfaileduntil the hour passes.
Before you upgrade
- Back up your database and
/opt/fog/.fogsettings. - Read the release notes: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/rc-1.6.0/docs/release/1.6.0-release-notes.md
- 1.6 removes Display Manager, Directory Cleaner, User Cleanup, Client Updater, Green FOG and the persistentgroups plugin. Their data is dropped. The site and accesscontrol plugins move into core.
- PHP 7.4 or later is required. Plugins built for 1.5 do not load.
