Announce: Puppet 3.3.1 Available

[Moses Mendoza]

3.3.1 is a bug fix release in the Puppet 3.3 series. The focus
of the release is fixing backwards compatibility regressions that
were introduced via the YAML deprecations in 3.3.0.

*Upgrade Note*

The release of Puppet 3.3.1 supersedes the upgrade warning for
Puppet 3.3.0. As of 3.3.1, agent nodes are compatible with all
Puppet 3.x masters with no extra configuration.

Fixes for Backwards Compatibility Regressions in 3.3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issue 22535: puppet 3.3.0 ignores File ignore in recursive copy
Issue 22608: filebucket (backup) does not work with 3.3.0 master
and older clients
Issue 22530: Reports no longer work for clients older than 3.3.0
when using a 3.3.0 puppet master
Issue 22652: ignore doesn't work if pluginsync enabled
Issue 22772: Managing an empty file causes a filebucket error

New backward compatibility issues were discovered after the release of
3.3.0, so we changed our handling of deprecated wire formats.

Starting with 3.3.1, you do not need to set additional settings in
puppet.conf on your agent nodes in order to use newer agents with
puppet masters running 3.2.4 or earlier. Agents will work with all 3.x
masters, and they will automatically negotiate wire formats as needed.
This behavior supersedes the behavior described for 3.3.0; the
report_serialization_format setting is now unnecessary.

Additionally, this release fixes two situations where 3.3.0 masters
would do the wrong thing with older agents. (Reports would fail unless
the master had report_serialization_format set to yaml, which was not
intended, and remote filebucket backups would always fail.)

Miscellaneous Regression Fixes
-----------------------------------------------

Issue 22384: Excessive logging for files not found

This was a regression in 3.3.0.

When using multiple values in an array for the file type's source
attribute, Puppet will check them in order and use the first one it
finds; whenever it doesn't find one, it will log a note at the "info"
log level, which is silent when logging isn't verbose. In 3.3.0, the
level was accidentally changed to the "notice" level, which was too
noisy.

Issue 22529: apt package ensure absent/purged causes warnings on 3.3.0

This was a regression in 3.3.0. The apt package provider was logging
bogus warnings when processing resources with ensurevalues of absent
or purged.

Issue 22493: Can't start puppet agent on non english Windows

This was a regression in 3.2.4, caused by a bug in one of the Ruby
libraries Puppet relies on. We submitted a fix upstream, and packaged
a fixed version of the gem into the Windows installer.

Fixes for Long-Standing Bugs
-------------------------------------------

Issue 19994: ParsedFile providers do not clear failed flush
operations from their queues

This bug dates to Puppet 2.6 or earlier.

The bug behavior was weird. Basically:

Your manifests include multiple ssh_authorized_key resources for
multiple user accounts.
One of the users has messed-up permissions for their authorized keys
file, and their resource fails because Puppet tries to write to the
file as that user.
All remaining key resources also fail, because Puppet tries to write
the rest of them to that same user's file instead of the file they
were supposed to go in.

Issue 21975: Puppet Monkey patch 'def instance_variables' clashing
with SOAP Class...

This bug dates to 3.0.0. It was causing problems when using plugins
that use SOAP libraries, such as the types and providers in the
puppetlabs/f5 module.

Issue 22474: --no-zlib flag doesn't prevent zlib from being
required in Puppet

This bug dates to 3.0.0, and caused Puppet to fail when running on a
copy of Ruby without zlib compiled in.

Issue 22471: Malformed state.yaml causes puppet to fail runs with
Psych yaml parser

This bug dates to 3.0.0, and could cause occasional agent run failures
under Ruby 1.9 or 2.0.
