LiveConfig v2.14

We are happy to announce the availability of LiveConfig 2.14!

This release has been worked on quite long and hard, because internally a lot of preparations for the next “big” release (version 3.0) have been done. The database schema has been completely reworked for this to allow a completely smooth transition to LiveConfig 3 later on.

The complete list of all changes is available as always in the changelog.

You can install the update as usual via the package management of your distribution:

Debian/Ubuntu: apt update && apt upgrade
CentOS/RHEL: yum update

If you’re using MySQL <5.7 or MariaDB <10.1 as database backend for LiveConfig (db_driver = mysql) then you need to add the configuration option db_options = "charset=utf8, collation=utf8" to the configuration file /etc/liveconfig/liveconfig.conf. Only very old systems are affected, e.g. Ubuntu 16 LTS.
