CFEngine 3 is not a drop-in upgrade for CFEngine 2 installations. It is a significantly more powerful version, but it is incompatible with the CFEngine 2 policy language.
The server part of CFEngine 3 supports the network protocol of CFEngine 2, so you may upgrade your installation gradually.
CFEngine was originally created by Mark Burgess with many contributions from around the world. Thanks everyone!
