[ixpmanager-announce] [RELEASE] V4.9.0 - Zend's dead, baby

[Barry O'Donovan]

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of IXP Manager v4.9.0.

IXP Manager v4.9.0 is a milestone release for INEX and the IXP Manager 
project: it represents the completion of a ~2 year project to remove the 
end-of-life and end-of-support Zend Framework v1 which has been replaced 
by Laravel - a modern and hugely popular PHP web application framework.

Support Lifetime for v4: It is our intention to provide bug fix and 
security support for IXP Manager v4.9 in line with Laravel's published 
support policy for Laravel v5.5. Note that IXP Manager v4.9 runs on 
Laravel 5.5. This means bug fix support to August 2019 and security 
support to August 2020.

This is a large release and there are a number of user actions required 
to complete the upgrade from v4.8.x to 4.9.0 successfully - please get a 
☕️ (or a 🍺 ) and read through these and perform all the required tasks:
