Topic: Why iRedMail-1.7.0 does not run (upgrade) from iRedMail-1.6.8 (20.04)?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.6.8
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? Downloadable installer
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu Server 20.04.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MariaDB
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
I am wondering why the last release of iRedMail-1.7.0 is not for Ubuntu Server 20.04 ?
As far as I see at the requirements, seems possible to upgrade  iRedMail-1.6.8 ->  iRedMail-1.7.0
No? Why what is incompatible?
Thanks

Hard to find out without logs

Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported, 24.04 is recommend but 22.04 works aswell

The problem is, in the announcement of the 1.7.0 release, stated that Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported, SO I ASKED the question. What logs to show? I did not tried yet because of the statement in the release announcement....

Dear Sir,
as four years admin in my iRedMail server installation, I very well know the indicating url for upgrading the existing installation.
My real question is : in the announcement of the 1.7.0 release, stated that Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported so can I upgrade from 1.6.8 => 1.7.0 in my installation (that is 20.04) or not ???

Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported for NEW fresh installation.
Existing Ubuntu 20.04 servers work fine as usual.
