Univention Corporate Server 5.0-5

Univention Corporate Server 5.0-5 is the fifth point release for Univention
Corporate Server (UCS) 5.0. It contains all erratas released since version
5.0-4 for bug fixes, performance improvements and security updates for Samba,
Linux, OpenSSH, Bind and Python, among others.

UCS 5.0-5 is available in the "Software Update" module and can be found in our
download area.

Security Updates, Bug Fixes and Enhancements for Univention Config Registry

and Univention Directory Manager

In total, the new point release includes 28 security updates that we have
provided since the last UCS point release, such as those for Samba, Linux,
OpenSSH, Bind, and Python.

We have also implemented various bug fixes in the Univention Management
Console (UMC) environment and upgraded some UMC modules to the new
capabilities that have been available with the UMC server since the
fundamental change from UCS 5.0-4. In the future, we will be able to
significantly reduce the memory consumption of UMC during operation in certain
cases. Also worth mentioning is the new option of explicitly setting an empty
value or deleting the value in the UMC module for the Univention Config
Registry (UCR).

In addition to the security updates, the UCS 5.0-5 release contains more than
50 bug fixes and other improvements in various packages. For example, we have
implemented improvements in the theming of our web applications, which
especially benefit Keycloak. You can use our themes to customize the look and
feel of Univention Portal, UMC and Keycloak.

We have also added the option to configure logrotate for specific listener
modules. This means that you now have more control over the size of the log
files for the modules become and how long they should be kept.

We have also worked on the further development of the Univention Directory
Manager (UDM). There have been a number of quality-of-life bug fixes for
the UDM. These include improvements in the passing of arguments to the command
line tool "udm" and performance improvements of the associated REST API in
certain cases.

Extended Switching Timeframe

As of today, you can install UCS 5.0-5. However, due to changes in the point
release policy and the extension of maintenance periods, you now have
12 weeks to upgrade to the latest release. During this time, we will continue
to provide security updates for UCS 5.0-4. We strongly recommend that UCS
5.0-3 users upgrade now, as we have discontinued maintenance for this release.

The date for the next point release has already been set: UCS 5.0-6 will be
released in early to mid-December. This release will also focus on security
updates and stability.
