Dear Rudder community,
<p>Rudder 4.0 is almost here!</p>
<p> We have built a 4.0.0~rc1 last week but we found bugs and made
two new rc before having the time to announce it. So, 4.0.0~rc3,
here you are!<br>
</p>
<p>Major new features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can select how your policy will be applied. Two modes are
available:</li>
<ul>
<li>Enforce: Rudder classic mode, which enforces the
configuration.</li>
<li>Audit: Will only check if the configuration is valid, doing
nothing on your nodes</li>
<li>This mode is defined globally, and can be overridden by
nodes and directives</li>
<li>Audit wins over Enforce if their is a conflict between
directive and nodes<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li> The web interface has been redesigned to be pretty,
responsive and clearer for a more pleasant experience</li>
<li>New Rest API methods:</li>
<ul>
<li>Manage Rudder settings<br>
</li>
<li>Launch remote agent run (one by one, all nodes)</li>
</ul>
<li>A file browser can be used to select files from the
shared-folder</li>
<li>Performance gain (compliance, policy generation)</li>
<li>new commands in rudder agent ( remote run on groups, status,
new run output ...)</li>
<li>Upgrade dependencies (CFEngine, fusionInventory, ... ) <br>
</li>
</ul>
The changelog will be available soon here: <a class="external"

<p>This software is in "release candidate" status but we have tested
it and believe it to be free of any critical bug.<br>
The use on production systems is not encouraged at this time and
is at your own risk. However, we do encourage testing, and welcome
all and any feedback!<br>
If no major bugs are found, a "final" release of 4.0.0 will be
released by the end of the week.</p>
<p>As always, check out <a class="external"

for download links.</p>
<p>We look forward to your feedback, be it comments on this list,
questions on Twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/RudderProject"
class="external">@RudderProject</a>) or on IRC (<a
href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=rudder"
class="external">#rudder</a> on Freenode) , bug reports or
feature requests (or of course GitHub pull requests).</p>
<p>Wishing you a pleasant day</p>
