Hi Michael, thanks for trying out Mayan. The new release message that comes up is an Ubuntu message and not a Mayan EDMS message. The virtualbox image was made a while back and a few new versions of the operating system have been released. The appliance as it is right now is not updatable. And a new one will need to be created for the new version of Mayan. Updatable containers is a new topic in computing that's why a project to create a new type of appliance using a Docker container was started just recently: https://github.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms-docker. The good news is that installing Mayan is now easier than ever: http://mayan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html
To customize the settings you would need to have your own install of Mayan and follow these steps: http://mayan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html#production-use The learning curve of Mayan was been lowered drastically during these past few months, but by it's nature of being built using Django (a web app framework) itself written in Python, some familiarity with those technologies is expected during the installation, configuration and deployment of Mayan EDMS. There is a worldwide network of Mayan EDMS solution providers: http://www.mayan-edms.com/support/ that can take care of those details.
