Re: Prepare release announcement (Puppet Platform 5.5.19)

We released Puppet Enterprise 2018.1.13

The release contains bug fixes and minor improvements, including:

  • Fixed CVE-2020-1943 so we will not potentially expose sensitive information through puppet server or puppetDB.
  • Updated all pe-modules to use structured facts
  • Customers can safely and confidently set custom DH primes on PE services

 

For the full list of changes, check out the release notes: https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2018.1/release_notes_pe_index.html

Thanks to all who contributed!
