[Announce] Release of PDK v1.4.1

[Bryan Jen]

Hello Everyone!

Today we’re happy to announce the latest release of PDK, version 1.4.1. This is a feature release containing a couple of exciting new features.

New Features include:

• pdk update - With PDK v1.3.0, we introduced the convert feature for modules developers to transition old modules to pdk compatibility. The update feature is a follow-up to that. With update, you'll be able to keep your pdk generated and pdk converted modules up to date with template changes. Keep your modules updated as PDK gets new releases and template changes are added, or if your custom templates are updated.
• pdk build - We've also added a build feature to package your module into a forge publish-ready file!

For the full CHANGELOG, please visit: https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/latest/release_notes.html.

To try this new version, use yum or apt on the Linux command line or download it for Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms at https://puppet.com/download-puppet-development-kit.

For Yum or Apt-based Linux users, you can also install PDK via the Puppet linux repos! For more information, please visit: https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/1.x/pdk_install.html#install-pdk-on-linux

Thanks!
