2. Introduction

Welcome to the CentOS 6.10 release. CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat1. You can read our official product announcement for this release here

CentOS conforms fully with Red Hat's redistribution policy and aims to be functionally compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.

The Continuous Release (CR) repository makes generally available packages that will appear in the next point release of CentOS, on a testing and hotfix basis until formally released.

Please read through the other sections before trying an install or reporting an issue.

NOTE: There is NO mechanism to pick only partial upgrades of packages to CentOS-6.10. All packages and updates to the 6.10 tree are built against the 6.10 tree and may not work correctly with older 6.x packages. If you want some packages in 6.10, please upgrade all packages. You will have issues if you perform only partial updates.

4. Major changes

5. Deprecated Features

The following device drivers have been deprecated, they may be removed in future releases and will not receive updates:

The following controllers from the megaraid_sas driver have been deprecated:

The following controllers from the be2iscsi driver have been deprecated:

NOTE: Deprecated drivers SHOULD still function in CentOS 6 until EOL, they will likely not be supported in future versions of CentOS (ie, CentOS 7)

The following packages have been deprecated and may be removed in future releases of CentOS 6. They will no longer receive updates:

The following items have seen some or all items removed from the upstream source code:

TLS compression support has been removed from NSS to prevent security risks.

Mozilla no longer includes code signing trust attributes in their CA trust list. The ca-certificates package has been modified to reinclude those code signing trust attributes by default. The ca-legacy command can be used to select whether the unmodified Mozilla CA trust list should be used or not.

ipt and xt actions have been dropped from iproute due to long-standing issues with those actions.

Please see the Red Hat Technical Notes for more details concerning deprecated and removed functionality.

9. How to help and get help

As a CentOS user there are various ways you can help out with the CentOS community. Take a look at our Contribute page for further information on how to get involved.

9.1. Special Interest Groups

CentOS consists of different Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that bring together people with similar interests. The following SIGs already exist:

And we encourage people to join any of these SIGs or start up a new SIG, e.g.

9.2. Mailinglists and Fora

Another way you can help others in the community is by actively helping and resolving problems that users come up against in the mailing lists and the fora.

9.3. Wiki and Website

Even as an inexperienced CentOS user we can use your help. Because we like to know what problems you encountered, if you had problems finding specific information, how you would improve documentation so it becomes more accessible. This kind of feedback is as valuable to others as it would have been to you so your involvement is required to make CentOS better.

So if you want to help out and improve our documentation and Wiki, register on the Wiki or subscribe to the centos-docs mailing list.

11. Thanks

We thank everyone involved for helping us produce this product and would like to specifically acknowledge the extra effort made by the QA Team. Without them working almost 24/7 we couldn't have released this as fast as we did.
