Announce: Module puppetlabs/puppetdb 1.3.0 Available

[Ken Barber]

A new release of the puppetlabs/puppetdb module is now available on the Forge:

https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb/1.3.0

This feature release provides us with a few new features for the PuppetDB
module.

You can now disable SSL when using the `puppetdb` class by using the new
parameter `disable_ssl`:

class { 'puppetdb':
disable_ssl => true,
}

This will remove the SSL settings from your `jetty.ini` configuration file
disabling any SSL communication. This is useful when you want to offload SSL
to another web server, such as Apache or Nginx.

We have now added an option `java_args` for passing in Java options to
PuppetDB. The format is a hash that is passed in when declaring the use of the
`puppetdb` class:

class { 'puppetdb':
java_args => {
'-Xmx' => '512m',
'-Xms' => '256m',
}
}

Also, the default `report-ttl` was set to `14d` in PuppetDB to align it with an
upcoming PE release, so we've also reflected that default here now.

And finally we've fixed the issue whereby the options `report_ttl`, `node_ttl`,
`node_purge_ttl` and `gc_interval` were not making the correct changes. On top
of that you can now set these values to zero in the module, and the correct
time modifier (`s`, `m`, `h` etc.) will automatically get applied for you.

Behind the scenes we've also added system and unit testing, which was
previously non-existent. This should help us reduce regression going forward.

Thanks to all the contributing developers in the list below that made this
release possible :-).
