The FreeIPA Project is proud to announce the latest release of the 
FreeIPA. As always, the latest tarball can be found at http://freeipa.org/

FreeIPA 2.1 is available in Fedora 15. It is currently in the 
updates-testing repository along with a number of its dependencies. 
Fedora 16 and rawhide builds will be coming soon.

== Highlights ==

  * General client and server installation improvements. Server 
installation is significantly faster.
  * Improved support for IPv6.
  * General UI improvements related to navigation and work flow.
  * Added UI for automount.
  * A Host-based Access Control (HBAC) test tool
  * Deprecation of HBAC deny rules
  * A CA is no longer required on every replica and may be added 
post-install to a replica (see ipa-ca-install).
  * A new replication tool for dogtag has been added (ipa-cs-manage). 
This allows you to control the replication topology of your CA.

== Upgrading ==

=== Server ===

To upgrade a 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 server do the following:
  # yum update freeipa-server --enablerepo=updates-testing

This will pull in updated freeIPA, 389-ds, dogtag, libcurl and xmlrpc-c 
packages (and perhaps some others). A script will be executed in the rpm 
postinstall phase to update the IPA LDAP server with any required changes.

There is a bug reported against 389-ds, 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730387, related to 
read-write locks. The NSPR RW lock implementation does not safely allow 
re-entrant use of reader
locks. This is a timing issue so it is difficult to predict. During 
testing one user experienced this and the upgrade hung. To break the 
hang kill the ns-slapd process for your realm, wait for the yum 
transaction to complete, then restart 389-ds and manually run the update 
process:

  # service dirsrv start
  # ipa-ldap-updater

=== Client ===

The ipa-client-install tool in the ipa-client package is just a 
configuration tool. There should be no need to re-run this on every 
client already enrolled.
