[Jeremy Barlow]

We're pleased to announce that Puppet Server 1.0.8 is now available.

This release is a bug fix / maintenance release in the Puppet Server 1.x series. In accordance with the Semantic Versioning specification, this release contains fixes for bugs reported against the 1.0.2 release.

Puppet Server versions 1.0.3 through 1.0.7 were not released, hence the move from 1.0.2 to 1.0.8.

In addition, the following issues have been resolved:

* (SERVER-273) Upgrade to JRuby 1.7.19 / fix for jruby-pool DELETE memory leak

* (SERVER-319) Enable apache-style http access logs by default

* (SERVER-336/404) Properly create /var/run/puppetserver dir at service startup

* (SERVER-356) puppetserver foreground produces no output

* (SERVER-344) Startup scripts should use 'runuser' not 'su'

* (SERVER-345) Fixup usages of cacert / localcacert in master

* (SERVER-449) Exposed http-client timeouts from Puppet Server
