==== Installation ====
There is a new installer for Foreman 1.3. Please for the RC1 release, provide
additional options to properly setup "rc" repositories:
foreman-installer --foreman-repo rc --foreman-proxy-repo rc -v
When using Puppet, set "repo" class parameters both in Foreman and ForemanProxy
classes.
==== Known issues ====
** Proxy registration happens before Apache is started **
You may encounter failure during proxy registration (Foreman_smartproxy puppet
class). In that case, please re-run the installer and the error should
disappear.

** Installer throws an exception on error **
On Fedoras, when Puppet returns an error, our installer might issue an
exception instead of returning proper exit code. Investigate the log file to
see what happened during puppet run: /var/log/foreman-installer.
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/3084
** Some errors are localized in wrong language **
Some error messages can be printed in random language.

Please report issues found in Foreman 1.3 in redmine and set "Target
Version" to 1.3 on new bugs.
