We have just released Certbot 0.9.0. This is easily the biggest Certbot update since our initial release. Included in this release is: - An alpha version of the Nginx plugin. This plugin fully automates the process of obtaining and installing certificates with Nginx. Additionally, it is able to automatically configure security enhancements such as an HTTP to HTTPS redirect and OCSP stapling. To use this plugin, you must have the `certbot-nginx` package installed (which is installed automatically when using `certbot-auto`) and provide `--nginx` on the command line. This plugin is still in its early stages so we recommend you use it with some caution and make sure you have a backup of your Nginx configuration. - Support for the `DNS` challenge in the `acme` library as well as `DNS` support in Certbot’s `manual` plugin. This allows you to create DNS records to prove to Let’s Encrypt you control the requested the domain name. To use this feature, include `--manual --preferred-challenges dns` on the command line. - Help with enabling Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) on CentOS 6 when using `certbot-auto`. To use `certbot-auto` on CentOS 6, the EPEL repository has to be enabled. `certbot-auto` will now prompt users asking them if they would like the script to enable this for them automatically. This is done without prompting users when using `letsencrypt-auto` or if `-n/--non-interactive/--noninteractive` is included on the command line. To see a complete list of changes in this release, see our `0.9.0` milestone on GitHub: > **[certbot/certbot](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A0.9.0+is%3Aclosed)** > > certbot - Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-0-9-0-released/20677)._
