-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is the beta2 release of Puppet 0.25.0.
It is available at: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.25.0beta2.tar.gz This is not production ready code - it is a beta release for testing. The beta is not fully feature complete (we anticipate adding Windows support and a number of language enhancements to beta3) and the extent of testing and issues will determine how soon we move to a release candidate after that. We would ask everyone to test and report issues with the beta. Please log any issues found during testing at: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/issues/new Please select the Affected Version as 0.25.0beta2. Please email any other specific questions, comments or feedback to the puppet-user list.

Most of the changes in 0.25.0 are internal refactoring rather than behavioural. The 0.25.0 release should be fully backwards compatible behaviourally with the 0.24.x branch. This means a 0.25.0 master will be able to manage 0.24.x clients. You will need, however, to upgrade both your master and your clients to take advantage of all the new features and the substantial gains in performance offered by 0.25.0. The principal change is the introduction of Indirected REST to replace XML-RPC as the underlying Puppet communications mechanism. This is a staged change with some functions migrated in this release and some in the next release. In the first stage of the Indirected REST implementation the following functions have been migrated: - - Certificates - - Catalogue - - Reports - - Files In 0.26.0 (the next release) the following remaining functions will be migrated: - - Filebucket - - Resource handler - - Runner handler - - Status handler The new REST implementation also comes with authorisation configuration in a similar style to the namespaceauth used for XML-RPC. This new authorisation is managed through the auth.conf file (there is an example file in the conf directory of the tarball). This does not yet fully replace the namespaceauth.conf file but will when the remaining handlers are migrated to REST. It works in a similar way to the namespaceauth.conf file and the example file contains additional documentation. As a result of the introduction of REST and other changes you should see substantial performance improvements in this release. These particularly include improvements in: - - File serving - - The performance of large graphs with lots of edges - - Stored configuration (see also Puppet Queuing below) Other new features include (this is not a complete list - please see the Roadmap for all tickets closed in this release): Puppet Queuing - --------------- There is a new binary called puppetqd that supports queuing for stored configurations. You can read about how it works and how to implement it at: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingStoredConfiguration Further documentation is in the README.queuing file in the tarball. Application Controller - ---------------------- All the logic has been moved out of the binary commands and added to an Application Controller. You can see the controller code at lib/puppet/application.rb and the logic for each application at lib/puppet/application/binaryname.rb. Binary Location Move - -------------------- To bring Puppet more in line with general packaging standards the puppetd, puppetca, puppetrun, puppetmasterd, and puppetqd binaries now reside in the sbin directory rather than the bin directory when installed from the source package. New functions - ------------- There are three new functions: require - Similar to the include function but creates a dependency on the required class in the current class. This means the required class will be loaded before the current class is processed. split - allows you to split strings and arrays versioncmp - allows you to compare versions Other features - -------------- You can find a full list of the tickets closed thus far for version 0.25.0 is at: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/versions/show/3 Regards James Turnbull - -- Author of: * Pro Linux Systems Administration (http://tinyurl.com/linuxadmin) * Pulling Strings with Puppet (http://tinyurl.com/pupbook) * Pro Nagios 2.0 (http://tinyurl.com/pronagios) * Hardening Linux (http://tinyurl.com/hardeninglinux) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKQDXx9hTGvAxC30ARAi/yAKDF0C+dApyrKGf/hlS7VVL3EyGeZwCeME1g lORgVMxMB2b1geq9bjtqoVs= =d2My -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
