Happy New Year! The first set of releases for the Puppet 5.5 (LTS series) and Puppet 6.0 (Feature series) are available. These releases contain bug fixes and performance improvements, notably:
- Added support for Fedora 29 and removed Fedora 27
- Fixed a long-standing performance problem in the Puppet Module Tool, resulting in much faster module installations
- Performance and correctness improvements for highly-available PuppetDB that should improve startup time
As always you can see the full list of changes in the release notes:
