Hot on the heels of Puppet 3.5 comes Puppet 3.6.0. We said things were going to
accelerate in Puppet's open-source release cadence, and here it is.
Puppet 3.6.0 is a backward-compatible features and fixes release in the Puppet
3 series. The biggest things in this release are:
* Improvements to directory environments, and the deprecation of config
file environments
* Support for purging unmanaged ssh_authorized_key resources
* Support for installing gems for a custom provider as part of a Puppet
run
* A configurable global logging level
* A configurable hashing algorithm (for FIPS compliance and other
purposes)
* Improvements to the experimental future parser
Notable community contributions in this release include Felix Franks' great
work on the ssh authorized keys type, fixing a feature request from 2008, and
Jared Jennings for dilligently working through some epic pull request threads
to add FIPS compliance.
