Bugs fixed

An outstanding 118 total bugs fixed since 0.3.

Known issues

• In order to take full advantage of the multi-arch feature, you’ll need:
  • updated client packages
  • recreate the stored profiles
• Bad news is that Spacewalk running on Fedora is not yet available. The good news is that we have started building packages to work with Fedora 10.
• bz480233 – deleting stored profiles causes ISE
• bz479640 – do not conflict with specspo. Work around is to rpm -e specspo.

Community

• A special thanks goes out to Colin Coe for his continued contributions to the apis. Also, thanks to Todd Sanders for his Telemetry contribution. https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/spacewalk/wiki/ContributorList.
