Hi all

We're back with the second release candidate for the 0.24.7 release -
the last of the 0.24.x branch and codenamed Gonzo.

There are a lot of new features and fixes in this release and we'd
welcome whatever testing you are able to perform.

You can download it here:

http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.24.7rc2.tgz

The MD5 hash for the file is here:

Big tickets items in the release are:

* Manifest documentation

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetManifestDocumentation

This new functionality creates documentation from marked up manifests
and modules and will make documenting your modules and configuration a
piece of cake.  Since we know how much we all love writing documentation
I think a lot of people are going to find this a great feature.

* The inline template function

* Multiline comments

* An augeas type

* Performance enhancements for the SELinux types/support

* A bunch of new OSX and Solaris types and providers including ZFS and ZPool

* Support for Nagios 3.0 types and some enhancements to make the types
easier to use and more compliant with Nagios configuration.
