==== 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.

The instructions above are still needed for RC2.

==== 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.
