We've got a release candidate for you all:

Expose all puppet variables as instance member variables of the
template wrapper.
This helps resolve redmine #1427, by providing a safe mechanism
to access variables.
* Implement Puppet::Parser::Scope#to_hash, which returns a hash
containing all the
variable bindings in the current and, optionally, parent scope.
* Use that to set instance member variables into
Puppet::Parser::Templatewrapper
* Report the time taken for variable binding at debug level, to
help identify any
performance regression that is encountered in the real world.
* Rename the @scope and @file members of the template wrapper,
to avoid clashing
with a scope variable exposed within puppet.
Ensure that we consistently use either string #{} interpolation
or String.%
interpolation, not both, to avoid issues where a #{} interpolated
value
contains a % character.
Feature #1476: Allow specification of --bindir --sbindir --
sitelibdir --mandir --destdir
in installation
Added feature #1241 : Improve performance of group lookups
Fixed bug #1448: Puppet CA incorrectly writes out all certs to
inventory .txt on each
certificate signing
Fixing puppetlast to make it work with 0.24.5 / 0.25. Made
puppetlast work on 0.24.5
by using the YAML indirector
