SME Server 8.1 发布

SME Server（以前叫做e-smith）由Joseph和Kim Morrison成立于1999年一月。该公司于1999年四月引入了其旗舰软件产品的第一个版本，e-smith server and gateway；至当年年底，已经有数千份e-smith servers运行在从斐济到芬兰的多个国家中。其口碑很快就流传于开发人员及系统集成人员中，他们需要稳固、易用的服务器以面向小型企业的用户群。在2001七月，e-smith被Mitel Networks收购，但之后被作为开放源码产品按照GNU通用公共许可证释出。2013五月，一个新的非盈利性组织被成立起来以管理SME server。出于版权问题的缘故它被改名为Koozali SME Server Inc。单词Koozali与重生之意的Swahili近音。今后的版本将采用这个名字。该发行基于CentOS，目前完全由捐款来资助。

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...."
