== Important

=Packages DVD
When using Packages DVD to install SLE modules, please make sure to also add the 
Product repository you are installing (SLES / SLED / HA / ...) from Packages DVD.
Not doing so might result in missing system roles during installation.

At the time of this announcement, we are still in the process of transmitting: 
SLE-15-Packages-ppc64le-Beta6-DVD2.iso, SLE-15-Packages-ppc64le-Beta6-DVD3.iso, 
SLE-15-Packages-s390x-Beta6-DVD2.iso, SLE-15-Packages-s390x-Beta6-DVD3.iso, 
SLE-15-Packages-x86_64-Beta6-DVD2.iso, SLE-15-Packages-x86_64-Beta6-DVD3.iso
to our CDN. So they will be available for download later on.

=Notable changes
- Migration from SLE 12 to SLE 15:
Starting with Beta 6, we have settle the ground for the support of the Migration
scenarios from SLE 12 to SLE 15. 
  - Offline migration: By using the "SLE-15-Installer" and "SLE-15-Packages" isos.
  - Online migration: The SCC setup and the YaST part have received the 
  improvement needed to allow the online migration. 
- SLES 15 JeOS images are now available for download and testing! Including the
OpenStack JeOS image.
- The Desktop Productivity Module has been replaced by the SLE Workstation Extension.
This will only be an issue if you do an upgrade from a former Beta installation (which is an unsupported scenario[6]).
- The HA Module and HA Product have been combined to one HA Product which will be available for the various products
where it's eligible. Reason for the changes with those two modules is that we want to simplify the universe.
- YaST Expert partitioner received quite some enhancements.

=Fixed bugs in beta 6 (selection):
- Wayland won't start on cirrus chipset anymore (bsc#1059356)
