It was a busy week last week, but we're back to our monthly release candidates for our projects.
This is an enhancement/fix release candidate of Puppet. A major focus on this release was Windows support. Puppet now works on Windows as agent. Another focus was on the RAL around using it with tooling such as mcollective or scripting. The release notes have a a world of information about the internals of making Puppet work with Windows, specifically around File permissions, absolute pathing, daemonizing, etc. User-level documentation is pending. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Release_Notes If you're using (or begin to use) Puppet on Windows, we'd like to hear from you about your experiences. Obviously bugs can be filed at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet, with an affected version of 2.7.6rc1, but if you have other feedback or discussion, you are welcome to send it to puppet-users. This release contains all recent security errata as well. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Release_Notes This release is available for download at: http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/ See the Verifying Puppet Download section at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an affected version of 2.7.6rc1 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet Documentation is available at: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/index.html The highlights of changelog have been outlined above at a very high level.
