Upgrade to 1.x.x

Overview

NOTE: 1.x.x is a, nearly, complete rewrite from previous versions of FOG. There may be issues when upgrading from past revisions of FOG so please backup you installation before upgrading!

• Migration for v0.32 to version v1.x.x will cause you to loose the operation system information that was associated with your hosts. This information has been moved to the image item now, so you will need to update all your images to set the appropriate operating system! Please see the Migration Instructions section below for more information.

• Many successful upgrades from v0.32 have occurred. It is possible to upgrade from v0.1 all the way to v1.x.x.
