An additional highlight could be: Puppet Server's vendored Jetty has been upgraded, prefers stronger cipher suites than previous defaults.

Re: Prepare release announcement (Puppet Platform 6.7.0)

This release contains bug fixes and enhancements, notably: Puppet 6.7 adds new `ca_fingerprint` setting verifies the CA bundle download against a fingerprint. The new Puppet Server 6.5 release includes an upgrade to Jetty. With this update, Puppet Server now defaults to stronger FIPS-compliant ciphers, but you must first remove the weak ciphers. We urge all Puppet Server users to update to this new version and remove the outdated cipher suite. See the Puppet Server release notes (https://puppet.com/docs/puppetserver/6.5/release_notes.html) for details.  You can see the full list of changes in the release notes https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.7/release_notes_puppet.html   cc/ Morgan Rhodes updated release notes here
