For anyone interested, links to the Mac, Windows, and CentOS 5 & 6 installers for Lasso Professional 8.6.2 can be found at <http://www.lassosoft.com/Lasso-Professional-86-Download>. The changes in this release are summarized at <http://www.lassosoft.com/Lasso-Professional-86-Change-Notes>. A few notes about the installers for each platform:

Mac - Installing Server.app on OS X 10.8 and later changes the path to Apache's config directory, causing Lasso to stop working. For this case, just reinstall the Apache connector and the files will be installed in the new locations.

Windows - The installer now handles downloading and installing the required Microsoft packages, and if the installer is run as Administrator on a machine with IIS 7 + ISAPI installed, it will also configure IIS automatically. Anyone running IIS 6 on 64-bit Windows should note that the 64-bit connector needs to be in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory to work properly. The full install instructions are in the bundled Release Notes and <http://www.lassosoft.com/Lasso-Professional-86-Windows-Installation>.

CentOS - Because of the way the RPMs were written, upgrading from older versions of Lasso 8.6 on CentOS will cause the service to be disabled when the installation is complete. This is why the RPMs for 8.6.2 require older versions to be removed first. The easiest way to do accomplish this is with the following command, which only removes Lasso from the RPM database without touching the installation:

rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts --justdb Lasso-Professional

after which Lasso can be installed as listed in the release notes and the download page.

The CentOS installers also check for the presence of ImageMagick 6.6 or later, and will enable the updated ImageMagick tags if found, which can also be found in the Extensions folder and <http://www.lassosoft.com/Upgrading-ImageMagick-on-CentOS-5>.

Our office is closed Monday for the August long weekend, but most of us will be checking email anyway. Any feedback, please send to support@lassosoft.com.
