Ketura Changelog

What's new in Ketura 2012.1772

Dec 13, 2012
  • The Ketura server now supports Windows 8.

  • A null pointer exception that could occur when determining the hostname during installation on Windows has been resolved.

  • The Backing Up a Ketura System topic has been improved.
  • The legal notices have been updated to reference the Oracle JDK licence, rather than the Sun version.
