The packages were released to our developer community for final testing
before a general announcement (which will go out tomorrow).

Here is the relevant section from the release notes:

Important note about CGI scripts
================================

- CGI scripts are disabled by default in i-bays. As CGI scripts run on the
  e-smith server, they should be carefully checked before enabling.

  To enable CGI scripts for a particular i-bay, follow these steps:
        - Copy the script into the cgi-bin directory
        - Admin needs to add execute permission to the script
        - Run the following commands (substituting the i-bay name for ):
                /sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop CgiBin enabled
                /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
