5.7 Release Notes

  • Virtuozzo OnApp 5.7 was released on Feb 27, 2018.
  • Virtuozzo OnApp version 5.7 is an Edge release which is not designed to be installed in production environments.
  • You can update to Virtuozzo OnApp 5.7 from versions 5.5 and 5.6.
  • If you are running Virtuozzo OnApp 5.5, you should upgrade directly to 5.7, skipping 5.6, to avoid possible complications.
  • If you use custom languages on your CP, after the upgrade to 5.7 please check the i18n Customization menu to submit translations for new UI labels, texts, and messages that will be available in the Missing translations tab.

The following table lists all the features, improvements, and fixes included in the Virtuozzo OnApp 5.7 release for all components:
