It is recommended to upgrade your foreman smart proxy to the latest version
as well.

Highlights of this release include:

SearchingAn extensive rewrite of the search system was performed.

   - Foreman now has a searchbar that prompts for possible search fields and
   values.
   - Searches can consist of multiple clauses with complex logic operations.
   - Previous searches can be saved as a bookmark and made public for others
   to use.
   - Many more search conditions, among them:
      - Host can be found by their parameters
      - Host can be found by their classes (direct associations or though
      host groups).
      - Host can be found by all valid combinations (e.g. multiple facts,
      report status, time stamps etc)
   - Audits search target have been greatly enhanced
   - All Search conditions could be used via the API as well
   - Search can apply on pages such as the dashboard (e.g. show only hosts
   in environment != development)

Authorization

   - A user is always granted access to their own account information. This
   also allows Internal users to change their password even if they do not have
   edit rights on User.
   - Additional permission groups have been added to control access to
   nearly all of Foreman's feature.

Charting

   - The graphing libraries have been replaced with the Highchart system.
   - Internet access is no longer required to view charts.
   - They look way better :p

Virtualization

   - The hypervisor pages now show more information about their guests.
   - Virtual clients can now be deleted/stopped/started etc.

Smart-proxy extensions

   - Puppet certificates can now be displayed, signed and revoked from
   within Foreman.
   - Autosign entries can be managed from within Foreman.

API

Many more operations that are available from the Web interface have been
exposed via the API. These are just a few:-

   - Classes per host
   - Host's last report
   - Statistics can be retrieved
   - Complex search queries could be performed via the API as well using the
   same search syntax as in the UI

Information for developers

   - The Backend Prototype Javascript library has been replaced with jQuery,
   thus providing a much richer set of graphical browser components

Misc.

   - All communication between smart-proxies and Foreman could be encrypted
   over HTTPS channels.
   - Support for Scientific Linux has been added.
   - Most operations now refer to the host by its name rather than its id in
   the URL.
   - Selected hosts tickbox works across multiple pages.
   - Foreman handles unreachable proxies gracefully.
   - Hosts which report skipped operations are no longer considered as being
   in error state.
   - When creating or editing a host the provisioning templates that will be
   used are displayed.
