Hello!

As you may know, we are about to release Puppet 6. This release contains *a
major update to the command line tools* that are used to interact with
Puppet's CA and certificates. The update makes the commands much faster and
more reliable, removes duplication, and makes the interface easier to
understand. However, this means that *some scripts and workflows will have
to be updated*.

*What is getting removed:*
* puppet cert
* puppet ca
* puppet certificate
* puppet certificate_request
*puppet certificate_revocation_list

*What is new:*
* puppetserver ca <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetserver-ca-cli> (for
CA tasks like signing and revoking certs)
* puppet ssl (for agent-side tasks like submitting a CSR and fetching a
cert, though these steps will still usually be taken care of by an agent
run)

We have been making updates to beaker and various test suites to account
for this change. If you use Beaker to do any CA or certificate interaction
in your tests, you will need to make some updates to test against Puppet 6:
1) Update to Beaker 4 and beaker-puppet 1. The latest release of both of
these projects contains updates for these CA changes. Details
<https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker/blob/master/docs/how_to/upgrade_from_3_to_4.md>
.
2) Update any tests or pre-suites that use one of the removed commands to
use the equivalent new command instead. For details, invoke `puppet cert`
in Puppet 6 for help output containing the mapping of old commands to new
alternatives. We will have docs pages up soon with this info.

*The most recent Puppet 6 builds on puppet nightlies
<http://nightlies.puppetlabs.com/> have these updates if you would like to
try them out ahead of the release.*

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or
feedback.

Thanks!
