Release Notes


v 5.0.0-rc4:  This is the release that is includes in the Open-E "update package".  This release does not include the ESS kernel release.  You can download the kernel release.

v 5.0.0-rc4 Bugs:  This built in release is a partial distribution.  It is intended to be updates after install.

  1. Critical updates are maintained across re-boots.  This includes the ESS kernel modules and ESS license files.

  2. Other updates are lost across re-boots.  For example if you update the ESS text utility to get access to new benchmark functgions, this update will be lost across a system reboot.  You can always get this back by running the update function again, and exiting and re-entering the ESS text utility.  You can do this while the server is active.

v 5.0.0-rc6 / v 5.0.0-rc6-2:  This is the current release.  The -2 is the version of the text utility while the kernel version is 5.0.0-rc6.

There are no identified bugs in the ESS run-time as of this writing.
