[Building Sakai] Fwd: sakai-2.7.0-b06 now available

[Anthony Whyte]

I should note that the upgrade process may also involve running conversion scripts against your database of choice.  The Sakai Community provides conversion scripts for MySQL, Oracle and DB2.  So provisioning Tomcat with a new build, while a necessary step in the upgrade process is by no means the only step required to upgrade your production instance.

Cheers,

Anth

In addition, Beth added Catalan language updates for 2.7.x core tools while I was fixing/testing the resources tool and these are included in b06 (exception: indie releases will need to add these translations in the coming days).
