Foreman 2.1.0-RC3 is now available for testing, big thanks to everyone who contributed and taken part in making this release ready.
Please help by testing and getting it release-ready, and let us know if you hit any issue when upgrading or installing the release candidate either here or on our issue tracker.
There are likely still some updates needed in the installation instructions and other parts of the documentation. Contributions to the manual are greatly appreciated and do not require coding skills - the manual is written in Markdown, and the source code for it can be found at https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman.org/tree/gh-pages/_includes/manuals/2.1.
This is the first release including packaging and installer support for EL8, so testing installation on EL8 would be especially helpful.
This release also changes the webserver used by Foreman from Passenger to Puma. This release candidate includes and SELinux policy for running Puma, please report and denials you encounter when running with SELinux enabled.
If all goes well we expect this to be the last release candidate before the general availability release of 2.1.0, in approximately one week.
