Today, we are pleased to announce the release of CFEngine 3.26.0! Being a non-LTS (not supported) release, this release allows users to test the new functionality we’ve been working on before it arrives in an LTS release later this year. The codename for this release is a bit different, as it is named after a new feature introduced, and what it eliminates - the default admin user.
What’s new In recent releases, we’ve made important security improvements like stricter password policies, 2FA support, audit logs, and more. We’re continuing down this track of improving the overall account and login security of CFEngine Enterprise by eliminating the default admin user and introducing a much more secure first time setup feature to create your own user with administrative rights.
We are pleased to announce two new patch releases for CFEngine, version 3.21.7 and 3.24.2! These patch releases contain bug fixes and dependency updates.
Changes As these are patch releases for long term supported (LTS) branches of CFEngine, there are no new major features included.

The license of our in-house C utility and compatibility library libntech was recently changed from GPLv3 to Apache License Version 2.0 which makes the library suitable for more projects thanks to the more permissive license.
