before Christmas.

RELEASE NOTES
* Puppet now has the "manage_internal_file_permissions" option which
allows you to enable or disable Puppet management of internal files,

* Mailist type is now working again
* File serving permissions error messages enhanced
* SELinux now supports contexts with upper case titles
* When running the tests you no longer need to use RSpec version
1.2.2 but rather versions including and newer than.
* The debug format message has been changed and clarified from:
debug: Format s not supported for Puppet::FileServing::Metadata; has
not implemented method 'from_s'
to:
debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml marshal pson
raw yaml; using pson
* Puppetdoc now works with Regex node names
* There are now valid and proper OIDs in the LDAP puppet.schema that
