The FreeIPA team is proud to announce version FreeIPA v3.0.0 beta 2.

It can be downloaded from http://www.freeipa.org/page/Downloads.

A build is available in the Fedora 18 and rawhide repositories or for 
Fedora 17 via the freeipa-devel repo on www.freeipa.org: 
http://freeipa.org/downloads/freeipa-devel.repo . To install in Fedora 
17 and 18 the updates-testing repository needs to be enabled as well.

NOTE: The Fedora 18 build was submitted this morning (8/17) and has yet 
to hit updates-testing. The packages are also at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=348836

For additional information see the AD Trust design page 
http://freeipa.org/page/IPAv3_AD_trust and the AD Trust testing page 
http://freeipa.org/page/IPAv3_testing_AD_trust.

== Highlights since 3.0.0 beta 1 ==

* NTLM password hash is generated for existing users on first use
   of IPA cross-realm environment based on their Kerberos keys without
   requiring a password change.
* Secure identifiers compatible with Active Directory are generated
   automatically for existing users upon set up of IPA cross-realm
   environment.
* Use certmonger to renew CA subsystem certificates
* Support for DNS zone transfers to non-IPA slaves
* Internal change to LDAP Distinguished Name handling to be more robust
* Better support for Internet Explorer 9 in the UI
* Allow multiple servers on client install command-line and configuring 
without DNS discovery.
* Translation updates

== Upgrading ==

An IPA server can be upgraded simply by installing updated rpms. The 
server does not need to be shut down in advance.

If you have multiple servers you may upgrade them one at a time. It is 
expected that all servers will be upgraded in a relatively short period 
(days or weeks not months). They should be able to co-exist peacefully 
but new features will not be available on old servers and enrolling a 
new client against an old server will result in the SSH keys not being 
uploaded.

Downgrading a server once upgraded is not supported.

Upgrading from 2.2.0 should work but has not been fully tested. Proceed 
with caution.

An enrolled client does not need the new packages installed unless you 
want to re-enroll it. SSH keys for already installed clients are not 
uploaded, you will have to re-enroll the client or manually upload the 
keys (using host-mod).

== Feedback ==
