[Daloradius-users] daloRADIUS 0.9-8 released

[Liran T. <lir...@gm...>]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It has taken 6 months to bake a brand new daloRADIUS and it is finally fresh
out of the oven.


Many changes have been added, please read carefully through the INSTALL file
which includes
notes regarding an UPGRADE procedure as well.

As you know, I am working on a *daloRADIUS Manual* as well, it's been
advancing, although slow, but it has...
It currently covers mainly the billing interface as those are probably the
most non-understood parts of the platform.
The current document is still being worked-on ofcourse and I am unsure if to
release it via SourceForge or not since
it is not complete and is very much a draft, there-fore, if you'd like to
glance at it please email me explicitly and
ask for it, I will gladly email it over.
