h2. Web interface
Most of the pages have been rewritten, there are many changes:
Search options
* Hosts (filter based on facts, based on host groups etc
* Facts (all hosts with fact x or with value y etc)
* Reports (show me all failed reports in the last 3 months etc)
* Audits (per user, per type – e.g. all hosts, per action – e.g. delete)
Improved Graphs for dashboard and per host
Host edit page now has a lot of logic
* Class selection depends on your chosen environment
* Class selection breaks down into modules, making it easy to navigate
* Inherited classes (via hostgroups), are also visible.
* Unattended settings will only show selection based on the os (e.g. no debian disk templates will be shown to redhat based os etc).
* Clone existing hosts (instead of choosing all of the options again)
Perform changes on many hosts at once
