Foreman 3.0.0 RC2 is available for testing

Foreman 3.0.0 RC2 is now available for testing. Special thanks to everyone who contributed and taken part in making this release ready.

Note that this is a major release, with much of the Puppet integration been moved to a new plugin that is installed by default. Puppet users can read Puppet in 3.0 release to get a grasp of what to anticipate in this and future releases. Users who do not use puppet in their environment are encouraged to attempt disabling the plugin if possible while testing the release candidates and report and issues that may arise.

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. We are in the process of migrating the documentation to the new Documentation website, any assistance in this effort is much appreciated! See Docs.theforeman.org webpage help needed for more information. If all goes well, Foreman 3.0 will be the last release that uses the old manual format.
