InterWorx-CP 4.8.0 Release Candidate 2 Available

We’re happy to announce that InterWorx-CP 4.8.0 RC2 is now available for download and testing.

For details about the 4.8 release in general, please see the RC1 announcement

All RC1 testers will automatically have their servers updated to RC2, assuming they left the repos installed after updating to RC1. If your RC1 servers do not automatically update, you may need to run the following command first:

yum clean all

The official build number for RC2 is: interworx-4.8.0-390. Any 4.8.0 build prior to 390 is RC1, and any build number after and including 390 is RC2.

For those of you who would like to help out by testing and reporting any problems you discover, the RC2 RPMS can be installed by following these instructions:

rhel4 / centos4 users

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget updates.interworx.com/iworx/update/interworx-rhe4x-RC.repo

rhel5 / centos5 users

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget updates.interworx.com/iworx/update/interworx-rhe5x-RC.repo

rhel6 / centos6 users

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget updates.interworx.com/iworx/update/interworx-rhe6x-RC.repo

Once the .repo file is in place, run

yum update

Feel free to discuss any problems, questions, or comments here in this thread, or by contating support@interworx.com. If you need to get our attention as quickly as possible, opening a support ticket is the best method.

If you are installing this release on an InterWorx-CP cluster, the RPMS must be updated on all servers in the cluster.

Note 1: This release (RC2) will NOT automatically update to your server, unless you have already installed RC1. If you want to install and test it, manual intervention is required (see above).

Note 2: While we do feel this is a fairly stable release candidate, don’t forget it is a release candidate release. It’s possible you’ll run into a problem here and there. However, we do not expect there to be any MAJOR issues that will affect the critical operations of your server. We expect this to be the final release candidate before the final 4.8.0 public release, in about a week (possibly less).

Thanks in advance to any and all testers!
