Hello,
Previously templates allowing Password changing where noted as "RPC - Temaplte Name".
The new MySQL and OpenLDAP do not have this prefix, is there a reason?

Converting Secret Template is a great feature, will this be added to the bulk operations?

The new Launchers are very helpful!

You implement lots of new features (and i absolutely appreciate this!!) but I miss a version information in the documentation.
The Userguide should contain the Version for which it is written and a short info in the forum or blog would be nice when the documents are updated.

Thank you,
Peter
