Updating cloud instances to 1.7

We are currently (between 1th and 8th of March) upgrading all cloud instances. Our customer clouds are currently running Kimai 1.6.2 and we are upgrading to Kimai 1.7.

After this first round of upgrades and when all clouds are running stable, we will upgrade the customer clouds to Kimai 1.8 in the next weeks. We will announce the update as usual here on the blog.

You might experience a couple of minutes downtime during the update of your own time-tracking cloud.

In case of any question or problem, please use the support channel.
