[rudder-users] Rudder 2.8.0 available

[Vincent Membré]

Dear Rudder community,

We are very proud to announce that we have just released a new version: 
Rudder 2.8.0 "Patrol boat".

Major new features include:

  * Configuration for change messages and change requests (validation
    workflow) can now be done inside the web interface (Administration
    -> Settings)
  * Relay servers are now fully operational, and a simple process has
    been put into place to make a regular node into a relay for
    promises, reports and inventories. See
    http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-doc-2.8/rudder-doc.html#relay-servers.
  * HTTP/S is now enabled and configured by default (using a self-signed
    certificate)
  * Change Requests (validation workflow) can now be managed through
    REST API. See
    http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-api-doc/#api-Change_Requests.
  * Significant performance improvements (up to 30% speed increase) on
    displaying pages with reports in the web interface ("Rules" and
    "Node details" pages)
  * The rudder-agent now uses CFEngine 3.5
  * Android system is now supported in all Techniques
  * Directive details display has been improved, so you can focus on
    configuration settings


The ChangeLog is available here:

This version of Rudder is a final release. We have tested it thoroughly 
and believe it to be free of any major bugs.However, this branch is not 
marked "stable", since it still has to be proven reliable on production 
systems over a period of several months. The current "stable" release is 
2.6.*.

As always, check out 
https://www.rudder-project.org/site/get-rudder/downloads/ for download 
links.

We look forward to your feedback, be it comments on this list, questions 
on Twitter (@RudderProject) or on IRC (#rudder 
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=rudder> on Freenode) , bug 
reports or feature requests (or of course GitHub pull requests).

Wishing you a pleasant day
