VDT 1.7.0 Release

Version	Released On	Notes
1.7.0a	24 August 2007	VOMRS security update
1.7.0	29 May 2007	Initial release

Note: This is a development release, and it is is not as well-tested or high-quality as our stable releases. Unless you have a strong reason to do so, we recommend using VDT 1.8.0 or later.

Updating from 1.7.0 to 1.7.0a

This is a development release of the VDT, so we have not tested updates for this release. If you have installed VOMRS prior to this update, we strongly recommend that you delete that old installation and start over, preferably with a newer version of the VDT.

If you would like to risk your installation with an update, here are the standard commands (not tested for this update):

cd VDT-1.7.0-LOCATION
. setup.sh
vdt-control --off
pacman -update VOMRS
vdt-control --on
