If you’re new to Ubersmith, and are installing it for the first time, you may find our updated installation documentation to be helpful. These updated articles specifically focus on the Debian and CentOS Linux distributions.
This is all part of our efforts to update and improve Ubersmith documentation as a whole.
With the release of Ubersmith DE 1.6 last month, we’ve been hard at work walking customers through the upgrade. It’s gone very well, and the majority of DE customers are now running the latest and greatest from the Ubersmith team. We’re pleased as punch. The release included a lot of new features and improvements that solidify Ubersmith DE as the leading choice for medium and large hosting providers.
Of course, we haven’t forgotten about our valued Ubersmith customers, and have been working diligently on the next release all this time. It’s therefore with great pleasure that we announce the immediate release and availability of Ubersmith 5.6.1.
Now, all Ubersmith products are PHP 5.x compliant. Many of our smaller customers who were running Ubersmith on a shared environment have been asking for this for a long time. Well, it may be a bit late but we’ve finally delivered on that, along with a plethora of other enhancements for Ubersmith.
We’re already starting to plan the next versions of both Ubersmith DE and Ubersmith, as well as scheming about how exactly we’re going to revolutionize the market with some dramatic product and pricing changes that we’ll be making soon.
Please note: The new release of Ubersmith requires two new PHP modules, namely ‘gettext’ and ‘mbstring’. These are readily available in most Linux distributions, so be sure to install them before you begin the upgrade process. Also, be sure to perform a backup of your database before upgrading!
