Hi Vimal,

> Koha 3.12.3 Live DVD released. Koha 3.12.3 is a bugfix/maintenance release
> and contains important security fixes.
> It also contains 15 bugfixes and 2 enhancements.
> Download from here,
> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6E3iEzJp74ueDdwbFZhV1FVN2c

Thanks for this new LiveDVD.


> Users of Koha Live DVD 3.12.00 can upgrade to latest version by applying
> following commands in a terminal,
>
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get upgrade
> apt-get install koha-common

These commands update koha to latest version which is 3.12.4 now, not 3.12.3.

One more thing, what is your opinion about last email from Mark
Tompsett about change MySQL password? Could you update readme file
accordingly?
