Foreman 1.11.2 security and bug fix release

Foreman 1.11.2 has now been released to our repositories, with over
forty bug fixes throughout the application and a security fix.

The security issue was:
CVE-2016-3728: remote code execution in smart proxy TFTP API

The smart proxy TFTP API is vulnerable to arbitrary remote code
execution, as it passes untrusted user input (the PXE template type)
to the eval() function causing it to be executed.

Affects Foreman 0.2 and higher.

Full release notes for all of the changes are on the website:
