Let’s Encrypt项目从12月3日起开放Beta测试，也就是说感兴趣的网站管理员不再需要等待邀请了。Let’s Encrypt旨在让每个网站都能使用HTTPS加密，它签名的证书已被所有主流浏览器信任。但目前存在的一些问题使它推迟了正式推出的时间：只支持Linux，软件运行需要root权限，不支持nginx，子域名需要个别配置，在使用多台服务器的网站上设置过于复杂.
----------------------------
Let’s Encrypt will enter Public Beta on December 3, 2015. Once
we’ve entered Public Beta our systems will be open to anyone who would
like to request a certificate. There will no longer be a requirement to sign up and wait for an invitation.
Our Limited Beta started on September 12, 2015. We’ve issued over 11,000 certificates since then, and this operational experience has given us confidence that our systems are ready for an open Public Beta.
It’s time for the Web to take a big step forward in terms of security and privacy. We want to see HTTPS become the default. Let’s Encrypt was built to enable that by making it as easy as possible to get and manage certificates.
We have more work to do before we’re comfortable dropping the beta label entirely, particularly on the client experience. Automation is a cornerstone of our strategy, and we need to make sure that the client works smoothly and reliably on a wide range of platforms. We’ll be monitoring feedback from users closely, and making improvements as quickly as possible.
Let’s Encrypt depends on support from a wide variety of individuals and organizations. Please consider getting involved, and if your company or organization would like to sponsor Let’s Encrypt please email us at sponsor@letsencrypt.org.
