   macOS Server 5.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]macOS Server 5.2 (previously titled OS X Server),
   which brings support for macOS 10.12 Sierra (as one might expect) and
   for migrating Server data from a volume with El Capitan 10.11.6 and OS
   X Server 5.1.7 or Yosemite 10.10.5 and OS X Server 5.0.15. The release
   adds integration with Apple School Manager, enables you to skip the
   Siri Setup Assistant pane in Sierra, provides enhanced control over
   peer replication, improves security by requiring SMB connections to be
   signed by default, and adds support for the Xsan 5 file system. macOS
   Server 5.2 now requires a minimum of El Capitan 10.11.6. ($19.99 new,
   free update, 199 MB, [2]release notes, 10.11.6+)
