Announce: Puppet Server 0.3.0 available!

[Eric Sorenson]

This is the first feature update since the initial Puppet Server release.
Notable user-facing improvements are:

* (SERVER-18, SERVER-39) Puppet Server now supports externally-terminated SSL
in the same way as external termination on Apache+Passenger does.
* (SERVER-4) Improve error messages and user feedback when starting on systems
with low memory. (We recommend at least 2GB RAM)
* (SERVER-43) Add support for HTTP "basic" authentication; this was preventing
the 'http' report processor used by Dashboard from working.

For a full list of bugs fixed in the release, check out this JIRA page:

Community shout-out for this release goes to Sean Millichamp for his
detailed feedback on SERVER-18; this really helped get the use-cases nailed
down.

Repositories using this guide:
