Re: [IUG] Release 2007 - System vs. Staff application

[Steve Sowder <sowder at andrews dot edu>]

During the beta test we found that with mil14? (probably mil142_08)  
some buttons on the screen did not work.  Thus, we made sure that all 
clients were on at least  mil15* or higher. That change was a high 
priority although most users did not notice a problem.  It was, as might 
be expected, new functions that did not work

We have moved to mil160_02 in most all cases. There might be some mil15* 
around. But, bottom line there has not been a sense of urgency. The 
clients should work after the upgrade. I would plan on moving them to 
mil160*.

We put a copy of the most recent version (mil160-02 now) on a thumbdrive 
and use it to install on the clients. (Faster than doing a download 
again, especially during heavy internet traffic.) If there is a problem 
on the client with some aspect of Millenniuim then we reinstall milup 
from the thumbdrive and test again.

Do respond directly: mil150_12 should be fine and upgrade on a rolling 
basis should be ok.
