Puppet Strings Module Release

[Ian Kronquist]

We’re excited to announce the latest release of the Strings module! Strings generates HTML documentation from inline comments and is designed to replace puppet doc. Strings 0.3.1 is a backward-compatible minor release. It includes support for generating documentation from Types and Providers, extracting and checking type signatures from Puppet 4.0 functions and classes, and checking that documented parameter names and types match what's actually in the code. Inline comments are the future for documenting Puppet modules, so if you maintain a module go ahead and take Strings for a spin and let us know what you think! This release was driven by Ian Kronquist’s Summer intern project.
