All --

We're presently doing a sprint to produce 2.6.2, in which we'd like to fix a
significant set of the outstanding issues in the 2.6 series without letting
it grow (and thus be delayed) the way many of our recent point-point
releases have.  The ideas here is to produce something that makes worthwhile
progress in a reasonable time frame, get it out and into people's hands,
then repeat as necessary.  We're also trying to consciously improve our
process (and, as previously noted, transparency) as we do so..

At present we are hoping to include the following tickets:

Checked in
---------------
#3707 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3707) rpm exit code
#4631 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4631) tagging problems in 2.6
#4657 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4657) Customer-supplied .rb
files are not compatible with multiple environments or staleness check
#4692 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4692) empty factor variable
causes private method `split' called for :undef:Symbol
#4708 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4708) tagmail should allow . in
tagname
#4716 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4716) ResourceTypeAPI exposes
implementation details that are likely to change
#4743 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4743) The audit metaparameter
does not handle the value 'all' properly.
#4746 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4746) FreeBSD service should
end writing to /etc/rc.conf with a newline
#4771 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4771) import of manifests with
the same name only happens once
#4787 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4787) Tidy fails with
uninitialized constant Puppet::FileBucket::Dipper
#4798 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4798) Puppet doc manifests
documentation mode broken
#4819 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4819) cron documentation
#4822 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4822) Puppet doc -o option

Ready for testing
-----------------------
#4763 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4763) ActiveRecord detection
fails

In process
--------------
#4649 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4649) fcntl doesn't work on
windows
#4781 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4781) Filebuckets intended to
be remote are still local

There are also a few more tickets under investigation and we'll be on the
lookout for any reports of issues with 2.6.1 (though as we get closer to
2.6.2 the threshold of what constitutes "serious enough to cause a hold"
will be going up).

 We'll keep you posted as we progress; feel free to comment, test, suggest
things, submit code, etc.
