SUSE Manager 3.2 – What's in the GA release:

Be ready for the future with the latest package versions (Salt 2018.3.0

ready for Python 3, Spacewalk 2.8, PosgreSQL 9.6) and SLE 15 enablement

Easily manage large complex deployments with new extended forms-

based UI capabilities, UI-based Salt configuration management, and

improved action chains

• Formulas with Forms improved/extended to model even complex

parameters (e.g. for user management) and fully API-enabled. Allows

clean separation of concerns between experts preparing secure

organization defaults and day-to-day admins

• Salt states can now be created and edited completely from the UI

• Salt support action chains (update Salt through Salt, reboots, …)
