Re: Prepare release announcement (Puppet Platform 6.13.0)

we need to make sure to include https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_4_P-GzpT1_ChRx2A9rOdln5D32xSssnQXPEi-m2GXQ/edit?usp=sharing in the announcement and emphasize that we're changing default behavior

The release contains bug fixes and minor improvements, including:

  • <Add content> 
  • Puppet 6.13.0 changes the default behavior for `strict_hostname_checking` from `false` to `true`. It is recommended that Puppet Open Source and Puppet Enterprise users that are not upgrading still set `strict_hostname_checking` to `true` to ensure secure behavior. 

For the full list of changes, check out the release notes: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/release_notes_puppet.html

 

Kate Medred to review and approve before Sara Meisburger can send this out

Re: Prepare release announcement (Puppet Platform 6.13.0)

This looks good to me with a few minor tweaks and one question: Do we have a social link for Abaddon (maybe their Git profile)? Sara Meisburger, the copy is below:

 

The release contains bug fixes and minor improvements, including:

  • Puppet reads parameter resource for forcelocal set
  • 'pe_serverversion' optionally added to 'server_facts'
  • Puppet docs updated to include OSX Catalina 10.15 (amd64)
  • Puppet 6.13.0 changes the default behavior for `strict_hostname_checking` from `false` to `true`. It is recommended that open source Puppet and Puppet Enterprise users that are not upgrading still set `strict_hostname_checking` to `true` to ensure secure behavior. Thank you to Puppet user @Abaddon for reporting this issue.
