The Aegir project would like to present our 0.4 alpha 13 release. This release is primarily a bug fix release, fixing the site imports which have been causing issues with alpha 12.
New in this release is the ability to specify a makefile when you create a platform, which can be either a file on the hostmaster filesystem or a URL. Aegir will automatically build the platform from the specified makefile when it attempts to verify the path, and detects that it is not there.
Features:
#373062 : 0.4 - automate platform creation
#788868 : Can we switch to cron.php (standard wget) in Aegir?
Tasks:
#904012 : Abstract AEGIR_DIR in UPGRADE.txt
Bugfixes:
#888542 : Some thoughts on the install txt file
#882970 : settings.php should not be updated before a vhost file is created and verified
#883412 : Default platform logic was deprecated and needed to be removed.
#896426 : Available updates table messed up
#896916 : Typo in install.sh.txt
#884804 : Minor spelling issues in http.drush.inc

Installing and upgrading :
The canonical source of installation documentation is as usual the excellent INSTALL.txt. We have an automated and scripted upgrade process for the front end, which you can read more about in UPGRADE.txt.
For those updating from before 0.4-alpha8, please note that there are instructions at the bottom of the UPGRADE.txt for you. This obviously also applies to people upgrading from 0.3.
NOTE REGARDING SSL: If you had the SSL module/hosting feature installed that was included in 0.4 Alpha 8, you need to disable it first before attempting an upgrade.
This release also requires fixes that are only present in the 3.3 release of Drush. The install script will automatically fetch the correct release of Drush for you, but you need to upgrade Drush manually when upgrading Aegir.
