This post is a little late… but. Puppet 0.25.1 - code name “zoot” - is now available. The 0.25.1 release is a maintenance release in the 0.25.x branch. The release is available via tarball and gem. Please report issues and feedback via the Reductive Labs Redmine site: Please select an affected version of 0.25.1. RELEASE NOTES * We’ve clarified that the new ‘require’ function only works for 0.25.x clients. If the function is specified with 0.24.x or earlier clients the class will be included but the inherent dependency will not be created. A warning message will be generated informing you of this. * Node regular expression matching rules have been clarified. * The Nagios serviceescalation type now supports the use of the servicegroup_name attribute. * The Puppet gem now installs all binaries to the ‘bin’ directory because Gems lack support for both a ‘bin’ and ‘sbin’ directory. Facter (version later than 1.5.1) is now also a dependency for the gem. * The zone type now works with OpenSolaris * You can now specify null values for environment variables in the cron type * The Vim syntax highlighting now identifies new regex structures CHANGELOG * Bug #1538: Yumrepo sets permissions wrongly on files in /etc/yum.repos.d * Bug #1719: Puppetd runtime increase dramaticilly after upgrading to 24.6 * Bug #1742: –color accepts parameters other than true, false, ansi,html - but produces “nil” output * Bug #1900: Parsing of quoted $ in stdin * Bug #1908: cron environment does not allow empty values * Bug #2508: misleading error about ActiveRecord versions * Bug #2534: Parser should raise an error if you specify the same property twice * Bug #2600: Master under mongrel wrong number of arguments (3 for 2) * Bug #2601: fqdn_rand raises exception when passed a seed
