  • The Edit button is now hidden in the editing mode to prevent conflicting actions.
  • The Save button is now disabled when there are no changes made in the Staleness form, preventing accidental submissions.
  • Validation error messages now include an Error: prefix for clarity.
  • Validation error text now has danger red color for better visibility.
  • Improved icon alignment within popovers for better visual consistency.
  • Improved Workspaces and Staleness/Deletion popovers for a more intuitive experience.
  • Added missing space in the Workspaces no-access empty state message.
API Improvements

  • Fixed support for JSON array syntax in the fields query parameter on the /hosts API to match documented behavior.
System Details Page Updates

  • GET /remediations/:id/playbook returns 204 No Content when a plan has no systems. Previously it was 404 error message.

3.2.4. Image builder

New image build targets
  • Network installer images are analogous to the Boot ISO images. They are available from the customer portal and include information to launch an installer for additional configuration and package installation. A network connection to package repositories is required for successful installation.
  • Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot images, which are sometimes referred to as stateless or diskless images, are minimal archives that include the kernel, intramfs, and root file system needed to boot a system over the network. These images are popular for the Satellite provisioning and for high performance compute nodes.
Extended retention policy for built images
Customers can now access downloadable images for up to seven days, extended from the previous six hours. This change is helpful for users who might start a build and come back to it later or users who are building the image for someone else to download.
