Puppet 2.7.12rc2 is a maintenance release candidate for Puppet in the
2.7.x series.

Downloads are available:
* Source http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-2.7.12rc2.tar.gz

Puppet 2.7.12rc2 Highlights
===
* Restored agent lockfile behavior to 2.7.9; in 2.7.10 and 2.7.11,
'puppet agent --disable' begun to use a new lock file named
'puppetdlock.disabled'. This was determined to cause compatibility
issues with certain external tools, so the pre-2.7.10 behavior has
been restored.
* Agent lockfile backwards compatibility to support users upgrading
from 2.7.10 or 2.7.11.
* Improved status / notification message when attempting to run an
agent after agents have been administratively disabled (via 'puppet
agent --disable').
* Cron error messages on Windows less cryptic
* Don't overwrite symlinks in augeas provider
* Fix zypper provider so ensure => 'latest' works
