See the Git changelog for the full monty. ## Cool New Stuff * Performance Improvements - substantial improvements to performance, particularly around catalog compilation. Agent supports JSON serialization for catalog cache, which can be dramatically faster for large catalogs (#16058, #2892) * Data Bindings - hiera will be automatically consulted for values of parameterized classes so you don't need the parser functions. (#11608) * Improved OS/Platform Support - Full Ruby 1.9 support; vastly improved Windows package support; yumrepo now supports ssl options (#3324); better upstart support; better Solaris zone, package and service support; * Loading Plugins from Rubygems - you can now install and use puppet extension code (faces, types, providers) via rubygems. (#7788) * Server Auto-Discovery - Puppet agents can use SRV records in DNS to find CA, master, report, and file servers (#3669) # DSL/Config Changes * Variable Scoping - Dynamic scoping has been removed. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.html * Auth.conf differentiates between names and IPs - There's a new `allow_ip` keyword in auth.conf if you want to permit IP addresses. (PR991) * `unless` is available as a synonym for `if !` (#7762) * Pluginsync now defaults to true - Yep, it's true. (#5521) * Updated `config.ru` syntax -- When running the master under Rack, make sure you update your config.ru to follow the example from ext/rack/files/config.ru in the source distribution. (#15337) # Changed Code Behaviour * External Node Classifier and Environments - If there's a conflict between the environment requested by a client and what's set in the external node classifier, the ENC wins. (#3910) * When running puppet as root, the system-wide `confdir` and `vardir` settings will be used. When running as a non-root user, `confdir` will be `~/.puppet/` and `vardir` will be `~/.puppet/var`. You can override these on the command line or via `config.ru` for rack setups.
