Releases
Per-release notes for every BOA version: what each release changes for your sites and your server, the operator-facing notes, and links to the code and full changelog.
Every BOA release, newest first — what it changes for your sites and your server, the operator-facing notes, and links to the code. These pages are the verbose, technical record; the plain-English announcements live on omega8.cc/news.
Each release is also summarised in the full changelog, and the release process itself — branches, editions, serials and the SKYNET auto-update pipeline — is documented under Developing in the release model chapter.
