So, its been a long time, and finally we got a new foreman release :) Download - http://theforeman.org/foreman-latest.tar.bz2 RPMS http://yum.theforeman.org DEB - http://deb.theforeman.org Some of this version highlights: * New UI that doesn''t SUCK. * host groups can now be nested * hostgroups can now act as a as templates, including VM attributes etc. * Introducing Smart Variables * Most of Foreman_configuration has been moved into the UI itself, this does not require a restart every time you change something, only core settings remain in the settings file. * audit log now capture class assignments * Solaris (sparc and intel) provisioning support * OpenSUSE provisioning support * BMC NIC management * Introducing Foreman CLI * Many API improvements * added rundeck integration * dhcp subnets can now be imported via the proxy Smart Proxy version In order to use provisioning support with this version of Foreman, you are required to* update your proxy* to the latest 0.3 release. Ruby 1.87 support Foreman 0.4 would be the last major version supporting Ruby older then 1.87. This has to be done since the upstream rails community no longer supports older versions, which means that critical security patches are no longer available if we keep supporting that. if required, we would release 0.4.x maintenance releases, but since ruby 1.87+ is available on most distribution these days, you are encouraged to upgrade. All in all, this version has around 180 features/bugs fixed, so its our largest so far - full details at [1] Full release notes [2] We''ve also added another means of communications (besides IRC and mailing lists, Google+ page [3]) I would like to thank anyone who contributed to the project, I''m having lots of fun :-) Ohad [1] - http://theforeman.org/versions/show/13 [2] - http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/ReleaseNotes [3] - https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/102496134326414788199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

As it stands foreman is not alone here, as puppetlabs is not supporting ruby 1.8.5 for the latest versions of puppet dashboard either. 1.8.7 is the minimum to support puppet dashboard 1.2.x. Being that Foreman is just a single server in your environment, is this really that big of a deal?

Therefore you can not tell from the version number if software is vulnerable. Actually, one can expect, and this is what one pays redhat for, that there are NO security holes in their ruby packages.Trust me, I know, I work for redhat. if its not clear, what it means, is that if you want to run it on RHEL5, you can either keep running the current 0.4.x versions or upgrade your ruby stack. otherwise use a more recent distribution. I''ve tried very hard to make foreman accessible to as many distributions as possible, and as i look at foreman becoming important piece in the infrastructure puzzle, I can''t ignore security issues.
