= Changes Compared to 2.6.x =

 * Two step procedure, '''installation''' and '''configuration'''; needed for the rpm based distribution to work
 * The option to drop a database during installation has been removed so you do not do this inadvertently
 * Environment variable CATALINA_HOME must be set before proceeding

= Issues =

 * The ftp startup script /etc/init.d/proteios_ftp_server.sh fails to launch the ftp server due to a bug in the way the CLASSPATH is created. This has been fixed in #649.
