A host of minor bugfixes. Notable happenings - The puppetforge <https://forge.puppet.com/> got a facelift for our new name and brand art. - puppetlabs/strings <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-strings> 0.4.0: A Puppet Face and plugin built on the YARD Documentation Tool <http://yardoc.org/> and the Puppet 4 Parser. It is uses YARD and the Puppet Parser to generate HTML documentation about Puppet code and Puppet extensions written in Ruby. There are already some examples <https://garethr.github.io/garethr-docker/> out there, showing the possibilities. - rspec-puppet <https://rubygems.org/gems/rspec-puppet> 2.4.0: supports testing exported resources in the same way that normal resources in the catalog are tested. Access them in your examples using exported_resources. See "Testing Exported Resources <https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/#testing-exported-resources>" in the README for examples. Please note that this release fixed interop with puppetlabs_spec_helper so that setting STRICT_VARIABLES to “yes” now actually runs your specs under a correctly configured puppet, leading to unexpected - but correct - breakage in unit tests. - r10k <https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k> 2.2.0: per-repo config for Git sources, improved error message for unreadable SSH keys, support for running under JRuby 1.7 with shellgit provider, improved docs. - Finalized the move of openstack <https://forge.puppet.com/openstack> modules into their own organisation by removing the old module versions from the puppetlabs namespace. - Vox Pupuli <https://voxpupuli.org/> released puppet/windows_autoupdate <https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/windows_autoupdate> 1.1.0, puppet/staging <https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/staging> 1.0.6, puppet/archive <https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/archive> 0.5.1, and puppet/network <https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/rundeck> 0.5.0. - More approved modules <https://forge.puppet.com/approved> than you can shake a graph at released new versions.
