This release of Site Factory is scheduled for release on April 9, 2018. It contains the following updates:

### Features

*   **Stage only the websites that you need to your non-production environment**   
    You can now copy individual, selected websites down to your non-production environment, instead of copying all websites from your production factory. [Learn more](/site-factory/workflow/staging).
*   **Automate website updates after staging**   
    After copying production websites to a non-production environment, you can now synchronize data structures and module updates with the [`post-staging-update` hook](/site-factory/extend/hooks/post-staging-update/).

### Changes

*   The following included software was updated:
    *   SimpleSAMLphp was updated to 1.15.4
    *   Site Factory 7.x module was updated to [7.x-1.46](https://www.drupal.org/project/acsf/releases/7.x-1.46)
    *   Site Factory Connector 8.x module was updated to <[8.x-1.46](https://www.drupal.org/project/acsf/releases/8.x-1.46)
*   The Gardens distribution distributed with Site Factory was upgraded to Drupal 7.57.

### Fixed issues

*   Using the `acsf-get-factory-creds` Drush command with Drush 8.1.16 displayed output results twice.
*   Attempting to use repository checkout commands failed due to changes to line endings.
*   Users with the _developer_ or _release engineer_ roles could not access the **Access WIP task status** Site Factory API endpoint.
