SME Server 8.1 發布

SME Server（以前叫做e-smith）由Joseph和Kim Morrison成立于1999年一月。該公司于1999年四月引入了其旗艦軟件產品的第一個版本，e-smith server and gateway；至當年年底，已經有數千份e-smith servers運行在從斐濟到芬蘭的多個國家中。其口碑很快就流傳于開發人員及系統集成人員中，他們需要穩固、易用的服務器以面向小型企業的用戶群。在2001七月，e-smith被Mitel Networks收購，但之后被作為開放源碼產品按照GNU通用公共許可證釋出。2013五月，一個新的非盈利性組織被成立起來以管理SME server。出于版權問題的緣故它被改名為Koozali SME Server Inc。單詞Koozali與重生之意的Swahili近音。今后的版本將采用這個名字。該發行基于CentOS，目前完全由捐款來資助。

Ian Wells has announced the release of SME Server 8.1, an updated build of the project's CentOS-based distribution for servers: " The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of SME Server 8.1 which is based on CentOS 5.10. Please note that CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.1 will not work on i586 hardware. Changes in this release: packages altered by CentOS, Red Hat, and Fedora-associated developers are not included; latest version of Dar, 2.4.11, for workstation backup; workstation backup allows the day of the week to be specified on which a full backup occurs, this now works correctly for all days of the week; to increase reliability of backups to a Microsoft Vista drive, a one-second delay was added to the backup; allow user setting of compression level for desktop and console backups...."
