What's coming in 7.6

[DualOSWinWiz]

@girish i have 2 servers both running in a vsphere in r930s one is ubuntu 22.04 and another on ubuntu 20.04

Ubuntu 20.04 upgraded to 7.6
Ubuntu 22.04 refusing to update due to avx

[girish]

@sufian-mughal maybe it's some vsphere configuration ? Check the cat /proc/cpuinfo output on both VMs. Are they the same?

[robi]

@sufian-mughal you should upgrade the VMware virtual machine version (vm), as too old of a template can be prior to the avx support for that vm, even though the CPUs support it.

So check the underlying virtual hardware rev.

Yes after upgrade vmware on linux it worked thank you

After almost three weeks after “beta release”: when will the rollout begin and will it be marked as stable?

[girish]

@imc67 7.6.1 will be out later this week, but still won't be stable till end of this month. There's a whole bunch of Cloudrons stuck on ubuntu 18 and we are having to help customers upgrade. We don't want to leave them too behind, so 7.6 cannot be stable too soon.

[sparkwise]

@girish For Cloudrons on Ubuntu 20 or 22, is it safe to update to 7.6 now or better to continue waiting?

[robi]

@girish approx how many?

[girish]

@sparkwise it's safe to update.

@robi hundreds , if not thousands. But we don't have concrete numbers since we don't collect this information.

[girish]

To give an update here, we had to update all apps to the new base image 4.2.0 . Practically all apps are updated by now. We can now start rolling out 7.6 . Probably from thursday.

[msbt]

@girish why? Is there something breaking that might affect custom images (that are not using the latest base image) as well?

[girish]

@msbt it's not breaking. we just wanted it out of the way so we can give the release our attention.

This was 22 days ago, still not started I guess?

[girish]

7.6.1 was already out but we haven't started roll out yet. But it's safe to update.

There was an irritating bug in 7.6.1 with regards to the mail/redis issues which seem to be affecting multiple different areas such as the mail event logs too. Any ETA by any chance on when the 7.6.2 will be released as a beta at least for testing?

[girish]

We have added some information about the server in the System view. Anything else you would like to see here?

[robi]

@girish Maybe the Object Storage provider from Backups.

[ccfu]

Any ETA on 7.6.2? The abovementioned irritating mail/redis problem is filling the maillogs with entries every few seconds. or maybe a bugfix release for this problem if it isn't ready yet?

[girish]

@ccfu working on getting it out. the e2e tests are running.

[DualOSWinWiz]

Also does any one else having schedule backups are not triggering properly?
