Annoying bugs in 1.8 mean an 1.8.1 should be out soon. This bug tracks what should be fixed before it's released : Bug 102247 : strange network starting problems Bug 102985 : executables are not preserved in root_overlay Bug 103004 : extensions clear ownership of directories Bug 102871 : OpenVPN security fix - Doc might need to be fixed if bug 103318 is done - If touched, doc should be fixed according to bug 102697 - Also maybe wait for the right kernel stable...
Thus one must also be fixed... Bug 103463: Users other than root fail
1.8.1 was released.
