Puppet Platform 6.1.0 is now available!

[Puppet Product Updates]

The first feature release in the Puppet 6 series is now available for download. This is a backwards-compatible release which contains a mixture of bugfixes and enhancements. It includes component updates to Puppet Server, Agent, and PuppetDB.

Of particular note for this release:

• Puppet Server has a JRuby update that implements Ruby 2.5 and has experimental support for Java 11.
• PuppetDB now uses "ahead-of-time" (AOT) compilation for a performance boost when starting up and issuing commands.
• The Puppet Agent contains a number of type and provider fixes, including a configurable timeout for service operations on Windows, support for systemd on Linux Mint 18 and 19, and selinux improvements. Additionally, a long-standing bug which prevented some kinds of notified resources (like reboots and execs) from showing up in reports is now fixed (PUP-9339)

A special community shout-out for this release goes to Jared Ledvina, for the selinux improvements in PUP-9330!
