Hello everyone!
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2021.04
At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2021.04, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions.
IMPORTANT: Read the release notes. This update requires an extra manual step to adjust a dependency vendor change, and depending on your current Uyuni version some more manual steps can be required to update the Server (for example if your current version is < 2020.07)
This is the list of highlights for this release:
* Vendor change for some Java dependencies * Fix for potential security issue with Java RMI * New products enabled * Amazon Linux 2 clients * AlmaLinux 8 clients * Alibaba Linux 2 clients * Maintenance Windows UI * Removal of deprecated XMLRPC API methods * Reactivation keys in bootstrap scripts * Enable SAN SSL certificates * Universe Security, Multiverse, Restricted, and Backport channels for Ubuntu. * Oracle Linux UEK channel * Performance improvements * Redfish power management * OpenSCAP from SSM * Virtual network creation UI * Logging * Monitoring - Prometheus Exporter Exporter for Debian - Node Exporter Updated to 1.1.2
Please check the release notes for full details.
Remember that Uyuni will follow a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2021.04
As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2021.04 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute.
Happy hacking!

Dear community,
We noticed that there is a problem at OBS, and despite Uyuni 2021.04 already shows up at the Stable OBS project [1], the repositories at download.opensuse.org are not updated yet.
No need to worry!!! This will not break your Uyuni Server/Proxy or your clients. The only consequence is that if you try to apply the update from 2021.02, you will not see any updates for the Uyuni packages.
We were working with the build service specialists and we now have a solution that will allow us to re-release.
As a precaution, we will be running today several rounds of tests today, and the expectation there will be no problems, and that we will be able to re- release tomorrow morning (there will be a new announcement)
Sorry about the inconvenience.

This happened because we added image building for `aarch64` back in March 8th.
We placed this architecture on top of `x86_64` at the meta configuration for Master [2] (to have the architectures in alphabetical order), and it seems that because of this, the images for x86_64 were still being generated but the metadata for them was not updated.
This means: - We still got the correct packages from the x86_64 when we run the test for Master - But the command `osc release` didn't detect changes for the x86_64 images and the binaries were not copied to Stable.
One solution was to run `osc wipebinaries` and rebuild if you add architectures on top. Other option is to avoid adding architectures on top. But both depend on remembering about it.
So the alternative is adding an architecture called `local` to the meta configuration that fixes this issue (note: this is not enough, OBS admins need to allow this for the project, in case you want to test it yourself)

Dear community,
The problem we described yesterday, about Server/Proxy Stable images publishing, is now fixed.
Uyuni 2021.04 was re-released about 30 minutes ago.
If you try to update but you still don't see any updates, that means your local mirror is still delayed, and you need to wait a little bit more (all mirrors should be in sync in a few hours).
Right now (11.23 CET) I see 2021.04 at 9 mirrors in Europe, 1 in Africa and 3 in the US.
Happy hacking!
