The update to version 5 is mainly an update about the new Chinese language, a new basis OS upgrade and some major and minor function changes (check provider changelog). But we also did some cleanup for the CSS and icons in the user interface.

There are a few things to know and consider for updating the system. Please read carefully!

Major OS upgrade

This update is making a major OS upgrade of your regify provider. The CentOS 6 system is updated to CentOS 7, which requires a few reboots and SSH re-logins. It also takes some more time than a normal patch updates (10 to 30 minutes, mainly depending on your system speed).

RAM for the Virtual Machine

For the upgrade to work, the VM must have at least 2GB of RAM. If you do not yet have 2GB RAM assigned, you may want to shutdown the machine (shutdown -h now) and re-assign some more memory before you switch it back on.

Icons

Many images have been replaced by font icons (a font containing icons instead of characters). We've chosen typeicons and it works great. By this, we also tried to make it much more easy for you to adapt the colors to your needs. Please check the Provider_customization article for further help and some CSS template. You can still use CSS to overwrite the icons with own uploaded ones. Please do with a skilled web developer.

codeFooter.php

The update also tries to adapt the codeFooter.php file of your customization. The management of languages and flags has been enhanced and some code must be removed or changed to work. If the automatic update of this file failed, you will get some red ToDo warning in your web-administration main page. In this case, please reset the codeFooter.php to the default and make your changes to whatever it was before.

Provider-SDK access

The provider-SDK is now using IP whitelisting for any access by default. If you use the provider-SDK, you have to enter the incoming IP addresses in the Web administration at Provider settings -> Allowed IP-Ranges for Provider-SDK. You can enter single IP addresses, ranges and subnets.
