Hello,
Foreman Discovery 4.0 has hit our 1.9 plugin repositories. It's brings
compatibility with Foreman 1.9 (all RCs and the final release) and
several other new features:
- Discovered host status indicators help to recognize new or inactive
nodes. - Multiple facts visible on the index page (discovery_fact_column).
- Improved logging helps to identify issues mostly in discovery phase.
- New Reboot all button useful for image upgrade of all nodes.
We've fixed a lot of bugs, including issues with facter compatibility,
rebooting when editing form, leftover tokens/attribute_sets and
permissions. After upgrade, please review permissions of Discovery
Manager and Reader roles as we have added more permissions and renamed
one. No manual action is needed, but check if everything is setup
properly.
The release is compatible with our latest stable discovery image (2.1.1)
and our plan is to rollout improved image 3.0 in the upcoming weeks
which will bring new Text User Interface with additional capabilities.

Upgrade is straightforward and does not require any manual step.
