Dear Rudder community,

We are very proud to announce that we have just released a new version: 
Rudder 4.1.0.

Major new features include:

  * Organize Rules and Directives by setting key=value tags (using UI or
    REST API)
  * Add or remove Node properties directly in the web interface
  * Share files between Nodes (via new generic methods)
  * Trigger agent runs on Nodes via relay servers without modifying your
    network configuration
  * Many Techniques renamed to be more explicit and now displayed in
    alphabetical order to make finding them easier
  * Customize Rudder behavior with the new hook system based on
    server-side actions
  * Improved user experience, overall improvement of web performance
    (web resources are cached), many minor UI tweaks (page titles,
    forms, buttons, filters, ...)
  * Switched to a new graph rendering library, fixing all performance
    issues with Firefox
  * Agent package now embeds OpenSSL on unmaintained Debian/Ubuntu
    distributions (Debian 5, Debian 6, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10) as
    well as unmaintained RHEL/SLES distributions.
  * New plugin packaging system for easier plugin management
  * New plugin ‘data sources’: Automatically import Node properties from
    external REST APIs


The ChangeLog is available here: http://www.rudder-project.org/changelog-4.1

This version of Rudder is a final release. We have tested it thoroughly 
and believe it to be free of any major bugs. This version is now the 
latest version of Rudder (latest ESR is still 3.1), and 4.2 will hence 
reach end-of-life in 3 months, the 30th June 2017.

As always, check out 
https://www.rudder-project.org/site/get-rudder/downloads/ for download 
links and https://www.rudder-project.org/doc-4.1 for installation and 
upgrade instructions.

We look forward to your feedback, be it comments on this list, questions 
on Twitter (@RudderProject <https://twitter.com/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
