Amahi Linux Home Server

This release can shut down (or reboot) your Amahi HDA remotely from the dashboard. It includes fixes in user creation (due to a Fedora issue), DNS resolution across the VPN, a much improved diskmounter script, improvements to the installer VPSs and many smaller fixes. Also included is Portuguese/Portugal support and improved Polish support. Japanese localization has begun.

This release is based on Fedora 12. It includes over 30% performance improvements and a much smaller memory footprint. Also included is preliminary support for PDCs (Primary Domain Controllers) with Windows 7 clients. In addition, a new Web-based installer is included with auto-detection of network settings. Enhanced to later support Ubuntu. User login pages are included, with setup pages only available for (also new) admin users. This release also provides support for virtual private servers (VPSs).

This release is an entirely new repo for Amahi on Fedora 12, with a brand new Web-based, much nicer installer, mod_rails (about a 10% faster Web interface and a much smaller memory footprint). This is in preparation for a new login system for users and a few other user interface enhancements that are coming. Users installing from this test repo will be expected to have to reinstall later due to these changes.

This is the alpha release of the new upcoming release of Amahi for Fedora 11. This is meant as the first release with support for internationalization (multiple languages) and Phusion Passenger (a.k.a. mod_rails). Some major features like setup pages need to be released on top of this alpha.

Included in this release (platform version 4.2) are massive improvements in performance for writes (300% to nearly 700%) and modest performance in reads (15% to 20%) to the production Samba settings. Also included are minor tweaks to some messages that were not accurate.
