It seems like only yesterday that we were releasing Puppet 2.7.8.
But a day has passed and here is Puppet 2.7.9.
Puppet 2.7.9 is being released so shortly after Puppet 2.7.8 because it
introduced a regression on Ruby 1.8.5. The regression, issue #11306 would
cause a failure when handling non-empty recursive resources, such as a
recursive file resource.
The 1.8.5 incompatible code wasn’t caught because of a long-standing bug in our
tests that went unnoticed because of a bug in our CI setup. The former issue
caused specs to fail before they even started running on 1.8.5, and the latter
caused the run to still be reported as successful. We’ve fixed the former bug,
but haven’t yet figured out a way to fix the latter (as it seems to be a bug in
Ruby 1.8.5 + rspec). We will, however, be taking steps to ensure that such
problems with our CI setup are more visible and caught sooner.

# Puppet 2.7.9 Release notes
==
(#11306)
Fix Ruby 1.8.5-incompatible code in Transaction#eval_generate
This was previously creating a Hash from an array of pairs.
Unfortunately, Ruby 1.8.5 only supports an argument list of pairs rather
than an array, so this code didn''t work with that version.
