New 8.300 Up2Date Package?

I just noted that Astaro has replaced the old 8.300 Up2date package online (and in the up2date repositories) that was dated Jan 10th with a new one today... it's about 2MB bigger, and has a different checksum. What's different in this package? Are there some fixes we should be aware of?

William, that's exactly where you're not correct. Peterkieser stated it right. But please let me add something:

If you already installed the first one of these two GA releases, the second one will not be offered or downloaded at all. We didn't increase the version so everyone would get it because only a few were affected by the bug that is fixed in the second GA release. They couldn't even complete their install. The ones who were able to complete it, have no problem that needs to be fixed.

It the near future (v9?) we will add support for pushing Up2Dates where just the *revision* changed. That will effectively fix our problems with Soft-Release vs. GA releases where the one who installed the Soft-Release won't get the fixes from a changed GA release. It will then look like the version you already have could be updated again to really get to GA.

That's a great idea.
