git log doesnt make a changelog, it makes a developer orientated
log of events in a git repository.
This information isnt aimed at users. A proper changelog highlighting
changes would be a really good improvement. Even just stripping out the
noise that your particular usage patterns (not doing ff merges) cause
will already help. Additionally there's a lot of commits thats just
spam - add a test, move a file etc - this only helps hiding the important
entries.
Below is a edit taking your 66 line changelog down to a usable 25 lines
by removing all the purely testing related lines, the merge lines and maint
lines.
I think this is already a huge improvement. Changelogs are what users use
to determine the suitability of a upgrade so we should write them with that
in mind.

We'll be doing our best to incorporate it into the next series of
release announce emails.
We also have a few other pages that get updated during a release that
may (sometimes) have better or more detailed information.

Better late than never, I've pushed rpm's for this release to my
fedorapeople.org repo:
http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/
Packages for EL 4 - 6 and Fedora 13 - 15 are available for testing.
Add the puppet.repo file from either the epel or fedora directories to
/etc/yum.repos.d to enable.
If you find problems with the packaging, please let me know. If you
find other bugs, please file them in redmine:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues
Please note that 2.6.6 is in Fedora and EPEL testing repositories. I
don't plan to update puppet there until 2.6.6 is pushed to the stable
updates repos. Any help testing the 2.6.6 packages is most welcome.
Once that update is stable, we'll be better able to more closely track
the 2.6.x updates in the official repos.

I don't know if this is a rpm buglet or a general puppet buglet, but
with puppet-2.6.9-0.1.rc1.el5.noarch.rpm from tmz I get emails like:
Wed Jun 22 12:46:11 -0700 2011 Puppet (notice): Finished catalog run in
6.53 seconds
on every run. I haven't tested the final release as I am going to test
2.7.0 with ruby 1.9.2 instead.

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Is this different than with 2.6.8? This is definitely not something
caused by the packaging, so if it's changed for the worse in some way,
you'd want to file it in the puppetlabs.com issue tracker.

If there is a bug filed, I'd love to know what it is. Searching
redmine for "reports" doesn't find anything that looks like the right
ticket.

This looks to be https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9167 and the
patch there fixes the problem. I've updated the 2.6.9 packages on
fedorapeople.org for Fedora and EPEL.
