FOG 1.6.0-RC-6 is available

The sixth release candidate for FOG 1.6.0 is on the rc-1.6.0 branch. It reports version 1.6.0-RC-6.

Release page: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.6.0-RC-6

Changed since RC-5

• iPXE Menu: setting “Show with” to Not Registered Hosts failed with “Menu update failed!”. It now saves. (#1832, thanks to Sempyos for #1830)
• A failed menu save could leave the boot menu with no default item. Default Choice is now changed only after the save succeeds.

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.
