Note that if you are installing Alfresco 4.2a manually instead of with the binary installer, you'll need JDK 1.7, Tomcat 7, and if you are running MySQL, MySQL 5.5. The binary installer ships with LibreOffice 3.5, so if you want to match the dependencies in your manual install, you might want to make the switch from OpenOffice.
The new rich media gallery view will be installed by default in both the binary installer and WAR distribution. But the new Google Docs integration is only installed by default for those using the binary installer. If you are running a manual install you'll need to also download the Google Docs AMPs.
Please hit this release as hard as you can and provide us with feedback. If you find a bug, please confirm it on an out-of-the-box install, search Jira to be sure it hasn't already been reported, and then write a bug report with as much detail as you can possibly provide.
FYI that as of today Bitnami (http://bitnami.org/stack/alfresco) still has 4.0.e (SSL fix) available in virtual machine form. I've sent a message asking when they might have 4.2a available and will post back here when I learn that.
I have downloaded the newest version 4.2.a Community … brand new Ubuntu 10.4 … 16G RAM … 500G HD … using your installer … installer works … Alfresco works … Share works … cannot get document previewing to work … OOTB … "Unable to preview" … any help is appreciated.
We are working to get the RM 2.0 download added to the 4.2x Community Edition downloads as quickly as we can. It may be there in 4.2b…we'll have to wait and see.
