1.8.0-RC3 and final release

1.8.0-RC3 was tagged earlier and packages are currently building, to be
announced later today if tests pass OK.

I don't intend to cut another release candidate as the process has gone
on for long enough IMO, and the remaining bugs are small in number, so
we might include fixes straight into 1.8.0 itself or 1.8.1.

I've pencilled 1.8.0 in for Tuesday 21st April and 1.8.1 in for three
weeks after, which is typically what happens
(Foreman 18 Schedule - Foreman).

The remaining bugs need working on this week if they're to be in time
for 1.8.0. The most important are:

  1. Bug #10111: "primary_interface is nil" error when editing unmanaged host - Foreman - error editing unmanaged
    hosts
  2. Bug #10020: Smart Proxy DHCP does not set option 66 and 67 (nextServer, filename) on new DHCP Record creation - Foreman - PXE options not set in
    DHCP reservations (PR open)
  3. Bug #10105: host create fails with "Missing arguments for 'interfaces_attributes'" - Hammer CLI - Foreman - error creating host via
    Hammer CLI, or Feature #3849: Add commands for managing interfaces - Hammer CLI - Foreman (PRs open)

And to a lesser degree:

  1. Bug #10030: Foreman fails to find VMware templates when they're in a folder - Foreman - cannot find VMware
    templates in folders
  2. Bug #9782: Using media_path in Templates does not resolve properly - Foreman - media_path expands
    incorrectly in templates
  3. Bug #9779: first host creation submit doesn't work using VMWare compute resource - Foreman - first submit fails for
    VMware hosts (needs reproducing)

Please continue to keep an eye on new tickets submitted if they're
against 1.8.0 release candidates so we can spot and fix 1.7 to 1.8
regressions.

Thanks to Daniel for keeping PR reviews flowing!

Cheers,
