What's New in RLM |version|
==============================

.. important:: Version 16.0 brings an all-new web management interface to RLM, with many changes. 
   End-user documentation may need to be updated before distributing RLM to your users. For an 
   overview of the new interface, `see the overview video on our blog. </new-rlm-release-v16-0>`_

* **The RLM web interface now uses HTTPS by default.** Self-signed certificates are automatically 
  generated on startup. If no cert or key are found, the web server will be disabled. See 
  “:ref:`enabling-https` for more information.
* **The RLM web server now starts with a default login and password.** Users will be prompted to 
  change password on first login.

  * Default login: admin
  * Default password: admin

* **New user permissions**: View, Manage, and Admin
* **Diagnostics are now presented directly in the web interface.** Users now have the option to 
  download directly to their local machine.
* ISV actions now available via the kebab (**⋮**) menu on each server.
* License and usage information now directly available on home page.
* RLM and ISV options files are now read-only from the interface.

   web server.
