FOG 1.6.0-RC-5 is available

The fifth release candidate for FOG 1.6.0 is on the rc-1.6.0 branch. It reports version 1.6.0-RC-5.

Release page: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.6.0-RC-5

Upgrade to RC-5 if your schema update stopped at step 345. On MariaDB, a re-run of a failed schema update could stop there with error 1292. RC-5 fixes it.

Changed since RC-4

• A schema update could stop at step 345 on MariaDB with 1292 Truncated incorrect DECIMAL value: ''. It now completes. (#1825)
• Pending MACs has a new Approve all matching button. It approves every pending MAC that matches your search and filters, on all pages, after a confirm dialog shows the count. (#1828, thanks to Coolguy3289 for #1826)

Update (as root)

• A 1.6 beta or RC server: bin/updatefog.sh --channel rc from your FOG checkout.
• A 1.5 server installed from git: update to the current 1.5 stable, then run bin/updatefog.sh --channel rc.
• A new server, or a 1.5 server installed from a tarball:
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/working-1.6/bin/bootstrap.sh | bash -s -- --channel rc

Test on a lab or non-production server first. The upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 changes the database schema, and there is no way back. Back up your database and /opt/fog/.fogsettings before you upgrade.
