Introduction

Lists all MX releases since Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development (that Steve Loft left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus). It is intended to be used for reference, e.g. if you wonder when such and such a feature was introduced, this article is a quick way to check.

It excludes the first few releases (within Version 3.0.0) that Mark did when he was experimenting with updating the code with both fixes and new features; and starts when he said it was the first non-beta version.

It gives version number, date of release, build number, summarises fixes and new features, plus indicates which files have been updated or added. It is updated independently of release announcements in the forum, so may not always be in step.

Instructions

This page is a precis of the information contained in the support forum at Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST

As that topic name suggests you should read it before you upgrade to a new release. If you are intending to upgrade to any new release, please read all of the release notes since the build you are currently running.
