Puppet 3.0 has a lot of performance improvements and some new
functionality compared to Puppet 2.7. For a new deployment I
definitely recommend trying Puppet 3.0. It's fairly easy to install
using the packages we publish at yum.puppetlabs.com and
apt.puppetlabs.com. Information is available at:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html
The other thing to keep in mind is that Puppet uses semantic version
numbers. There are some incompatibilities between Puppet 2.7 and 3.0.
We will make every effort to preserve compatibility across the entire
3.x series, so starting with 3.0 should give you a really long
"compatibility horizon" so to speak.
Hope this helps,

That's a another reason for me to go toward 3.0.1. I assume it is a stable release?

The long answer...

It's an officially supported release, if that's what you mean. I
can't say there aren't any bugs though. =)
We're actively developing the 3 major version, so you'll see 3.0.2
released soon, with bug fixes, and 3.1.0 released shortly after with
new, backwards-compatible functionality.
The short answer: Yes, it's stable and any issues are likely valid
ones that we'll fix as quickly as possible.

Great to hear that Jeff. Confirmed, 3.0.1 it is. Is there a bug list I can track?
