<p dir="auto">The fourth release candidate for FOG 1.6.0 is on the <code>rc-1.6.0</code> branch. It reports version <code>1.6.0-RC-4</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Release page: <a href="https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.6.0-RC-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.6.0-RC-4</a></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Upgrade from RC-3 now if you delete images or snapins from the web UI.</strong> In RC-3, the delete dialog can remove the files on the storage node even when the “remove file data” box is cleared.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Fixed since RC-3</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A cleared “remove file data” box on the image or snapin delete dialog still deleted the files. It now keeps them. (#1819)</li>
<li>When the storage node was unreachable, every snapin failed with “Hash does not match”. The server now returns an error status instead of a bad file. (#1817)</li>
<li>The installer did not repair a missing service account home directory (by default <code>/home/fogproject</code>), which broke FTP and snapin downloads. It now repairs it on every run. (#1820)</li>
<li>A failed schema update now shows the reason in the installer error log. (#1812)</li>
<li>“On Server Size” now shows the image size right after a capture, not up to an hour later. This field is informational only. (#1814)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Update (as root)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A 1.6 beta or RC server: <code>bin/updatefog.sh --channel rc</code> from your FOG checkout.</li>
<li>A 1.5 server installed from git: update to the current 1.5 stable, then run <code>bin/updatefog.sh --channel rc</code>.</li>
<li>A new server, or a 1.5 server installed from a tarball:<br />
<code>curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FOGProject/fogproject/working-1.6/bin/bootstrap.sh | bash -s -- --channel rc</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">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 <code>/opt/fog/.fogsettings</code> before you upgrade.</p>
