-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You wanted "release early, release often" and the Puppet team has delivered!
The 0.25.4 release is a maintenance release (with one important feature - pre/post transaction hooks - discussed below) in the 0.25.x branch. The release primarily addresses a regression introduced in 0.25.3 that caused issues with creating cron jobs. We apologise for the brief interval between releases and the failure to identify this new regression sooner. The Reductive Labs team is working to further extend the testing infrastructure used for new releases to better help us better test across multiple platforms and versions. The release candidate is available at: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.25.4rc3.tar.gz Please note that all final releases of Puppet are signed with the Reductive Labs key. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DownloadingPuppet#verifying-puppet-downloads Please test this release candidate and report feedback via the Reductive Labs Redmine site: http://projects.reductivelabs.com Please select an affected version of 0.25.4rc3. RELEASE NOTES Pre/Post Transaction hooks - -------------------------- There is a new feature in this release: pre and post transaction hooks. These hooks allow you to specify commands that should be run pre and post a Puppet configuration transaction. They are set with the prerun_command and postrun_command settings in the puppet.conf configuration file. prerun_command = /bin/runbeforetransaction postrun_command = /bin/runaftertransaction The command must exit with 0, i.e. succeed, otherwise the transaction will fail - if the pre command fails before the transaction is run and if the post command fails at the end of the transaction.
