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

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.
