Pulp 2.9 Beta 2 is now available, and can be downloaded from
the 2.9 beta repositories:

https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/beta/2.9/

This release includes many new features, as well as bug fixes. Owing to the more
rapid, time-based release of 2.9, this release should consist of fewer new
features compared to the release of 2.8. Try out the new features, and let us
know how they work for you!

This beta release was slightly delayed by two blocking issues (2035 and 2037,
seen below); barring more blockers discovered in this beta cycle, the 2.9 
release
candidate should be available next Tuesday (July 5).

Upgrading
=========

The 2.9 beta repositories are included in the pulp repo files:
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-pulp.repo for fedora 22 & 
23
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/rhel-pulp.repo for RHEL 6 & 7

After enabling the 2.9 beta repositories, you'll want to follow the standard
upgrade path, with migrations, to get to 2.9:

> $ sudo systemctl stop httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager pulp_celerybeat
> $ sudo yum upgrade
> $ sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db
> $ sudo systemctl start httpd pulp_workers pulp_resource_manager 
> pulp_celerybeat

for yum repos, langpacks support for yum repos, and more:

format as full export
