Foreman 3.16 and Katello 4.18 release notes

All Hosts Page Redesign - Continued modernization of the All Hosts page with enhanced functionality, including changing owner, location/organization, disassociating VMs, and other improvements.

NodeJS 22 Upgrade - Updated UI build stack to NodeJS 22, extending lifecycle support to April 2027

PatternFly 5 Migration - Modernization of UI components by upgrading our PatternFly 4 UI components to PatternFly 5.

Dual-Stack IPv4/IPv6 Registration Support - Full support for client registration in dual-stack environments, enabling seamless registration over both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Provisioning Documentation Improvements - Enhanced documentation for provisioning workflows and best practices.

Previous Deprecation: Feature was deprecated in Foreman 3.15

Impact: Users with RHV/oVirt compute resources will lose this functionality unless they install the new ForemanOvirt plugin

Alternative Solution: Install the new ForemanOvirt plugin to maintain oVirt functionality

Action Required: If using RHV compute resources, plan migration to alternative platforms or install the ForemanOvirt plugin before upgrading. Users who want to keep oVirt support must install the ForemanOvirt plugin before upgrading. Users who do not want oVirt support are advised to run foreman-rake ovirt:drop before upgrading.
