Today we make the first release candidate for Foreman 1.12.0 available
for testing - please help by trying it out, reporting and fixing bugs.
This first release candidate includes new versions of Foreman, Smart
Proxy and Foreman Installer. The next release candidate should also
include a new version of Hammer CLI.

Changes in this release
···
=======================
Some notable changes in this release are listed below, so we'll be
particularly looking out for new issues in these areas:
-
Puppet 4 support in the installer, including setting up Puppet Server
when using a Puppet Agent (AIO).
-
Puppet 4 support in the smart proxy, using a new API available in
Puppet Server to import environments and classes instead of parsing.
-
Ruby on Rails upgraded from version 4.1 to 4.2, under the covers.
Lots more features can be found listed in the release notes by
category, please have a look through for anything that you might rely
on and give it a test:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.12/index.html#Releasenotesfor1.12
Do take note of the upgrade warnings and deprecations in this release:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.12/index.html#Upgradewarnings
Our list of supported OSes has changed, so please check these when
setting up new installations or upgrading.
We also have an experimental guide to upgrading a combined Foreman 1.12
and Puppet 3 installation to a Puppet 4 installation:

Hi there
I'm trying to upgrade from version 1.11.1 to 1.12 RC1 on RHEL7 but yum
upgrade fails with a dependency problem.
–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: tfm-rubygem-protected_attributes-1.1.3-3.el7.noarch
(sync-rhel7-foreman-112)
Requires: sclo-ror42-rubygem(activemodel) >= 4.0.1
Error: Package:

[… snip …]
An up to date Softwarecollections channel from redhat is avialable.
These packages are available but called "rh-ror42-rubygem-xxx" and not
"sclo-ror42-rubygem-xxx"
Is the redhat variant of the SCL repo no longer supported? Do we need to
switch to the upstream one?
Thanks
Sandro

We use the sclo-ror42 collection from CentOS and not rh-ror42.
