The Foreman team brings you another Friday release: Foreman 1.2.0-RC2.
The RPM support is now up to par on EL6 x86_64, with full Passenger

running 1.1 and would like to test it out, now's a good time to upgrade!
We've also added the latest translations for German, Spanish and French
in from our Transifex project (about 50% complete). Thanks to all of
our translators. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/foreman/
Key features:
- Discovery plugin support
- BMC and IPMI support
- Internationalization (German, Spanish, French) new
- SPICE HTML5 support
- SELinux targeted support new
- PostgreSQL by default
