Announce: Puppet 4.1 and Facter 2.4.4 available!

[Eric Sorenson]

Hi, Puppet 4.1 and Facter 2.4.4 have been released and rolled up into a new Puppet Agent All-in-One package (puppet-agent-1.1.0).

Puppet 4.1.0 is a feature release in the Puppet 4 series. This release's main focus was improvements to the Puppet language, but it also includes some improvements to resource types and a few miscellaneous fixes.
Also notable in this release: we're officially deprecating Rack and WEBrick-based Puppet master servers.

You can read the full release notes for Puppet here: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/release_notes.html

Facter 2.4.4 is a bug fix release in the Facter 2.4 series. It also deprecates the `--puppet` command line option, since it caused circular load dependencies. To run Facter in Puppet's context, you should use the `puppet facts` command instead.

The full release notes for Facter are here: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.4/release_notes.html
