### Stable BOA-2.2.3 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Fri Apr 18 12:57:40 PDT 2014
### Includes Aegir 2.x-boa-custom version.

# Release Notes:

  This release includes several bug fixes and security upgrades both for the
  system services and Drupal core, along with three updated platforms and new
  features, including support for MariaDB 10.0 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty.

# Important - Read This First! (for self-hosted BOA only)

  If you haven't run full barracuda+octopus upgrade to latest BOA Stable
  Edition yet, don't use any partial upgrade modes explained in docs/UPGRADE.txt
  Once new BOA Stable is released, you must run *full* upgrades with commands:

  $ barracuda up-stable
  $ octopus up-stable all both

  For silent, logged mode with e-mail message sent once the upgrade is
  complete, but no progress is displayed in the terminal window, you can run
  alternatively, starting with screen session to avoid incomplete upgrade
  if your SSH session will be closed for any reason before the upgrade
  will complete:

  $ screen
  $ barracuda up-stable log
  $ octopus up-stable all both log

  Note that the silent, non-interactive mode will automatically say Y/Yes
  to all prompts and is thus useful to run auto-upgrades scheduled in cron.

  If you have skipped some recent BOA releases, and you have new default config
  option: _PERMISSIONS_FIX=NO in your /root/.barracuda.cnf configuration file,
  plus, you are not sure if you follow best practices for managing permissions
  as recommended in our docs: https://omega8.cc/node/116 then we recommend
  that you change it to _PERMISSIONS_FIX=YES temporarily, or even permanently
  if your VPS is fast enough, and then run this powerful script as root:

  $ bash /var/xdrago/daily.sh
