     7Bcfg2 1.3.0rc1 is a release candidate, and should be representational of the final 1.3.0 release.  The code is quite stable at this point, but this remains a release *candidate*, so please consider carefully whether or not it is suitable for production deployment at your site.  Please help us test the release wherever you can, including production and non-production environments.

     9There is one major user-facing change for users of previous 1.3.0 prereleases:

     11  * SELinux entries have been reworked.  Instead of all using the ''SELinux'' tag, with different ''type'' attributes, they each use their own tag now.  The new entry style is documented at http://docs.bcfg2.org/dev/server/plugins/generators/rules.html#selinux-entries
