I’m excited to announce a new backwards-compatible feature release of Puppet Agent. Puppet Agent 1.8.0 contains several updated component versions, including new feature releases of Puppet and Facter.
* Puppet 4.8.0 - This release includes several improvements to the type system and updates puppet module tool to use "forgeapi.puppet.com" (instead of "forgeapi.puppetlabs.com"). * Facter 3.5.0 - New feature release allowing settings for configuring external and custom fact directories, setting command line options, and blocking facts - loaded by default from /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facter.conf. This release also adds support for macOS Sierra and Windows Server 2016. Release notes for each of these are linked from the main puppet-agent note: https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.8/reference/release_notes_agent.html For information on upcoming platform end-of-life (EOL) for Puppet Agent, please see our Platform Support Lifecycle page: https://puppet.com/content/platform-support-lifecycle Community shout-out to Clay Caviness for several contributions to this release - including a fix for ‘tidy’ and additional fixes for Mac OS X. -- Geoff Nichols Puppet Ecosystem - Agent and Platform Team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
