I’m happy to announce a new version of Foreman - 0.1-5
Highlights are:
Web interface
Most of the pages have been rewritten, there are many changes:
Search options
Hosts (filter based on facts, based on host groups etc
Facts (all hosts with fact x or with value y etc)
Reports (show me all failed reports in the last 3 months etc)
Audits (per user, per type – e.g. all hosts, per action – e.g. delete)
Improved Graphs for dashboard and per host
Host edit page now has a lot of logic
Class selection depends on your chosen environment
Class selection breaks down into modules, making it easy to navigate
Inherited classes (via hostgroups), are also visible.
Unattended settings will only show selection based on the os (e.g. no
debian disk templates will be shown to redhat based os etc).
Clone existing hosts (instead of choosing all of the options again)
Perform changes on many hosts at once
change a parameter for many hosts
change host group for many hosts
change environment for many hosts
delete many hosts at once
Import new puppetclasses from the interface
Unattended installations
added support for dynamic disk layout
added kickstart/preseed compatibility with Ubuntu 10.04, RHEL6 beta,
Fedora 13
Support for customized kickstart files (e.g. if you use a package like
rpm, you can create your own kickstart which will not be replaced on next
update).
medias can now be shared with many operating systems (e.g. with
replacing variables for $arch or $version)
x-rhn-provisioning headers support for booting from other devices than
eth0
Query interface
added verbose mode, which will return all of hosts classes, facts and
external node parameters.
added query based on a hostgroup
Others
Host ownership (via a user or a user group) base infrastructure for per
host authorization (e.g. who can change what) and sending the reports to the
right people.
Speed optimization when keeping many reports in the db
Puppetdoc integration
Foreman can generate puppetdoc (via a rack task, so you can add it
to your repo post commits scripts), and links to the docs via the puppet
classes page.
Improved PRM packaging
added startup script for foreman (uses webrick)
moved all config files to /etc/foreman and /etc/sysconfig/foreman
moved log files to /var/log and added logrotate support
moved db files state dir
…
Added Debian package support
Fact importer now imports the hardware model information
Many many thanks to everyone who took part in the huge foreman release (over
100 tickets!)

Love the speed increase. A couple of initial thoughts, I should probably
raise tickets:
1 - Sort by name as default in Hosts section
2 - bring back the yaml link in the Hosts section for a host
