Announce: puppet server 2.8.0 available!

[Eric Sorenson]

Puppet Server 2.8.0 is now available.  This is a backwards-compatible feature release for Puppet 4.x sites, which contains one notable new feature and a few bugfixes as well.

The headline feature is that the puppetserver now automatically reloads the CRL (certificate revocation list) when a node's certificate is revoked, where previously a revoked cert was considered valid until the puppetserver was restarted. This feature should make it easier to reprovision nodes with the same name/certificate identity as a revoked node, plus reduce manual work when revoking. (TK-149)

A special community thank-you goes to Matthias Hörmann, who reported and helped troubleshoot SERVER-1671, which is also fixed in this release.

For the full list of changes, check out the release notes: https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/2.8/release_notes.html#puppet-server-280

It looks like the tarball is missing from https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/ .
Please upload it as I use it for packaging (the base of what we install on Gentoo).

Thanks,
