Who should use this 8.5.1 upgrade download?

Use this download to update from an existing OpenCms 8.5.0, 8.0.x, 7.5.x, 7.0.x or 6.x installation. For a new, fresh installation of OpenCms 8.5.1, use the full distribution version.

This version of OpenCms requires Java 6 because of library dependencies. In case you still run OpenCms on Java 5, you need to update your JVM first.

Please note: This update wizard is not intended to be used for any non-stable (beta, GIT based) versions of OpenCms.

Please note: The *.jar files in this binary distribution have been compiled for Java 6.
