### Stable BOA-2.2.9 Release - Full Edition
### Date: Wed Aug  6 17:08:10 PDT 2014
### Includes Aegir 2.x-boa-custom version.
### Latest hotfix added on: Fri Aug 15 09:37:04 PDT 2014

# Release Notes:

  This release includes updated versions of all supported Drupal platforms to
  provide latest Drupal 7 and Pressflow 6 core, plus some changes, improvements,
  bug fixes, and many updated Octopus platforms.

  NOTE: Since the first Edition in the BOA-2.3.x series is not ready for release
  yet, and new Drupal core has been released to fix security issues, followed
  by yet another release to fix serious regressions, followed by yet another
  security release, we have decided to make it available to everyone and release
  yet another stable BOA-2.2.x Edition.

  IMPORTANT! This is the last Edition in the 2.2.x series, which marks the end
  of Drupal 5, PHP 5.2 and Drush 4 support. Next Edition will open 2.3.x series,
  which will allow us to provide newer Aegir version with built-in Drush 6
  support, sites in subdirectories, and many Aegir User Interface improvements.

  If you still host any Drupal 5 sites or you are using PHP 5.2 for D6 sites,
  you will not be able to upgrade to the next 2.3.x Edition and you will have to
  stay on the 'legacy' BOA 2.2.x version, which will receive only system
  security upgrades, but no further feature nor bugfix releases.

  This also means that from now on the 'legacy' 2.2.x version will no longer
  receive Drupal core upgrades, even if there will be security core releases.

  It is time to upgrade away from Drupal 5 and away from PHP 5.2, if still used.
