The new WRE is finally here and it is awesome. For starters, we now support 8 platforms:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5
Mac OSX 10.4 (intel and ppc)
Windows
FreeBSD 6.2
Ubuntu Server 6

In addition, the new WRE has a streamlined web-based user interface for installation and configuration called the WRE Console. There's also a brand new API that can be hooked into automated provisioning systems at hosting companies. All the other components that came the the WRE are here too, and have been improved. This is truly the best version of the WRE we have ever produced. It represents 400 hours of development, debugging, testing, and tweaking. We hope the work we've put into this release shows.

NOTE: WRE 0.8 is for use with WebGUI 7.4 and higher.

This version of the WRE is a complete rewrite of the WRE from the ground up.All templates, file locations, APIs, etc have been changed in this release.Therefore there is no direct upgrade path from previous WRE versions to WRE0.8.0. A migration document has been created in the WebGUI community wiki. Youshould follow the advice in that document to migrate your configurations froma previous version of the WRE to this new version. Here's the URL: http://www.webgui.org/community-wiki/migration-to-wre-0.8

0.8.0
 - Rewrote the entire WRE system to be easier to configure, have a more
   robust API, and work the same on Windows and Unix.
 - Added the WRE Console.
 - Added gotcha.txt file just like WebGUI.
 - WRE Monitor no longer panics.

   platform independent.

   WRE having it's own system level user for all its processes.

   the WRE just for developers.
