David Loper has announced the availability of the first release candidate for ClearOS 7, an enterprise-class server distribution based on CentOS 7: "ClearOS 7.1.0 release candidate 1 is here. This release contains major improvements and insight to the eventual release of ClearOS 7 and replaces ClearOS 7.1.0 Beta 3 as the current running test release. We are excited to add Samba Directory to the mix. Samba Directory allows for Active Directory equivalent functionality using ClearOS as your Directory Server.

Point Clark Networks has announced the availability of the second beta release of ClarkConnect 5.0, a specialist distribution for servers and gateways based on CentOS: "ClarkConnect 5.0 Beta 2 is now available. What's new? Beta 2 is certainly more stable, but there are still quite a few rough edges. Along with the usual bug fixes, the beta 2 release has the following significant changes: an update to CentOS 5.3; a change in the package naming convention -- from cc-XYZ to app-XYZ; a first release of the bandwidth manager; content filter changes (anti-virus engine update); a functional print server/queue solution. A general cleanup of the web interface, including form validation, will be completed at a later stage. In addition, you will find the web interface to be slow in some places -- this will be optimized in a future beta release." Read the rest of the release notes for additional details.

Point Clark Networks has announced the availability of the first beta release of ClarkConnect 5.0, a CentOS-based distribution designed for servers and firewalls: "ClarkConnect 5.0 Beta 1 is now available. Beta 1 is certainly more stable, but it is still very buggy. The new bandwidth and QoS manager is the only missing feature. The significant changes are: features are in better working order; Samba PDC/Simple Server modes are now working; user import is now available. Due to the nature of the new user/LDAP architecture, we recommend waiting until beta 2 before installing 5.0 in a real-world environment. This release is almost feature complete, but there are still too many known issues to start bug hunting. We will be spending the next week or so resolving the known issues -- the result will be beta 2." Read the rest of the release notes for more information.

The second alpha build of ClarkConnect 5.0, a specialist distribution for servers and gateways, is ready for testing: "ClarkConnect 5.0 Alpha 2 is now available. Alpha 2 is certainly more stable, but it is still alpha quality. The significant changes are: features are in better working order; the developer environment is available; the kernel is up-to-date (notably, IMQ bandwidth QoS is integrated). There are many features that are not working in this alpha release. We have made this release public just to get some initial feedback from third-party developers, partners, and interested members of the ClarkConnect community. You should install this release if you are a software developer who needs to get up to speed with 5.0 or a person who likes to tinker with alpha releases."

The first beta release of ClarkConnect Gateway/Server 4.2 is ready for testing. From the release notes: "Though it has only been four months since the last release, version 4.2 brings quite a few new features! This first beta release contains a lot of stable features along with untested new features, including mail archiving, encrypted file system support and updated content filter engine. Integrating Asterisk will require some feedback from the user community. The core of the problem is the architecture of the Zaptel Asterisk driver. Some of the features for this driver can only be implemented at build time, so this makes it difficult to ship a ready-to-go Asterisk system."
