GemStone/S 3.1.0.1

GemStone/S 64 3.1.0.1 was released August 28, 2012. This release fixes a number of bugs and we recommend all 3.x customers use this release. Be sure to review the release notes and install guides for this release.

GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.3

GemStone 3.1.0.1 ships with GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.2 pre-installed in $GEMSTONE/bin/extent0.seaside.dbf, but there are a few minor issues that show up as test failures. GLASS 1.0-beta.8.7.3 has been released to address those issues.

You should update to GLASS 1.0-.8.7.3 when you start using GemStone 3.1.0.1.

GemTools 1.0-beta.8.7

A One-Click GemTools 1.0-beta.8.7 for GemStone 3.1.0.1 can be obtained from the seaside.gemstone.com downloads page or you can download GemTools 1.0-beta.8.7 for Gemstone/S 3.1.0.1 all platforms directly.

You can build a custom GemTools image by following these steps on the glass db wiki.

If you are upgrading from GemStone/S 2.x or GemStone/S 3.1.0, you still need to run through the upgrade process described in the Install Guide for (Linux or Max).

Helper Scripts for Upgrade of Seaside 3.0.7.1
