Resolved in this release:
-
Packages were not marked as automatically installed by APT if you set
security_only to true. When running the pe_patch::patch_server task with
the security_only parameter set to true, packages were not marked as being
automatically installed by APT. This caused problems if you rely on this
marking for APT autoremove to remove old packages. The patch_server task
now marks packages as automatically installed, regardless of the
security_only parameter.
-
r10k can recover from typos in the config or Puppetfile. r10k now
updates its cache repos when the remote URL changes. This allows r10k to
recover from typos in the config or Puppetfile.
-
Couldn't complete restoration if the r10k_remote parameter wasn't set. The
r10k_remote parameter wasn't set when restoring a backup with scope set to
certs, code, or puppetdb. This prevented you from finishing restoration
because the commands necessary to finish restoring your primary server did
not print.
-
Schedule task button sometimes failed to redirect. When scheduling a
task to run at some later time or interval, under some circumstances,
clicking Schedule task did not redirect you to the Scheduled tasks page.
-
The fail_plan function didn't show custom error information. The
fail_plan function ignored the kind and details parameters, which are used
to specify custom, machine-parseable information about an error.
-
Scheduled jobs failed on FIPS installs. Scheduled jobs, including tasks
and plans, couldn't run or be listed on FIPS installs of PE and resulted in
the error javax.crypto.BadPaddingException.

Important note: If you are using Continuous Delivery for PE, upgrade to
CD4PE 4.8.2 or a newer version prior to upgrading to Puppet Enterprise
2021.5. We resolved a PuppetDB issue causing the generation of new fact
charts on the Nodes page to fail.
