Ohai Chefs,
We’re pleased to announce that Chef Server 12.1.0 RC3 is now available for download. RC3 is the follow-up to RC1, which we announced on May 28th.
### What’s New Since RC1
* **Erlang 17:** We’ve upgraded the Erlang distribution that we ship with the Chef Server to Erlang 17.5
* **Solr Upgrade Fixes:** We’ve fixed an issue that prevented Chef Server from running the latest version of Solr after an upgrade. If you upgraded from a previous version, you would continue to run the version of Solr that shipped with that Chef Server.
* **Actions Messages Password Filtering:** The Chef Server now filters out password information before sending data off to the Chef Analytics queue.
### What happened to RC2
We had to skip RC2 for this release because it encountered a failure during the build and release process. Remediations were made to the process and the version was bumped to RC3 accordingly. RC3 is the follow-up release to RC1.
