| | 4 | |
| | 5 | ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/bcfg |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Bcfg2 1.3.0rc2 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. |

| | 9 | There are two minor user-facing changes for users of previous 1.3.0 prereleases and release candidate: |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * Configuring strict/lax decryption is no longer done separately in the `[sshkeys]` and `[properties]` sections, but once in the `[encryption]` section (http://docs.bcfg2.org/dev/server/encryption.html#lax-vs-strict-decryption) |
| | 12 | * It is no longer necessary to explicitly enable encryption on each Properties file. |
| | 13 | |
