Information about the IMPEX 4.1.3 release
This is a release with very few changes but it has one important added feature which is Backup/Restore. This is needed for customers that plan to upgrade to Impex 5.0.
We are planning to release Impex 5.0 later this autumn.
Normally all updates are automatically distributed to all customers with repo servers. With the 5.0 release, we will release updates to individual customers as they signal to us that they are ready to upgrade. This readiness process includes making sure that you are on the 4.1.3 release and that the backup of the current ICC server has been completed.
Preparations for migrating to Impex 5.0
Version 4.1.3 is a prerequisite to migrate to Impex 5.0
If you plan to upgrade to Impex 5.0 when that version is released, you are mandated to have upgraded to 4.1.3 in a previous step.
This release adds ICC Backup and Restore functionality, which is needed to be able to migrate to the new 5.0.x Sysctl Linux ICC version. The upcoming 5.0.x release will require installing a new ICC and/or REPO server and then restoring a ICC 4.1.3 backup on it. This will ensure no operation history, settings or stations are lost.
Version 4.1.3 is not pre-requisite to do a new install of Impex 5.0
If you do not need to migrate from a previous Impex install, you do not need to install 4.1.3 as a step beforehand.
AV fixes
- The Anti Virus engine sysctl-clamav was updated to handle the ICC being behind a web proxy/cache, like Cloudflare, which is stripping Last-Modified headers.
Documentation
