Releases

SME Server 7.0 is based on CentOS 4 (4.3 + updates), uses the same kernel, and does not modify the CentOS packages. What that means for the developer is that existing CentOS and RedHat 'EL4' packages can be used and are sure to be compatible.

Contribs Development

Starting with SME Server 7.0, contrbs development is becoming more of a team project, than individual projects. The bug tracker is open for contribs, so feedback and development ideas can be shared more freely.
