   OS X Server 5.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]OS X Server 5.1, which has been updated for
   compatibility with OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan (see '[2]OS X 10.11.4
   Improves Notes, iBooks, and Live Photo Support,' 21 March 2016). In
   fact, OS X Server 5.1 now requires 10.11.4 El Capitan, and previous
   versions of OS X Server won't work on 10.11.4 El Capitan, so you'll
   need to make sure to make both updates. The release also adds support
   for TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security), adds support for the new
   Education features in iOS 9.3 (see '[3]iOS 9.3 Works the Night Shift,
   Protects Notes, and More,' 21 March 2016), adds new restrictions to the
   Profile Manager, and brings performance optimizations for iCloud data
   caching. According to this [4]Apple security note, the update also
   addresses an issue in Time Machine server that neglected to warn
   administrators if permissions were ignored when performing a server
   backup and patches a file access issue that existed in Apache with
   .DS_Store and .htaccess files. ($19.99 new, free update, 186 MB,
   [5]release notes, 10.11.4+)
