3.4.3 is a bug fix release in the Puppet 3.4 series. - Final: February 19, 2014. Bug Fixes ------------------------------------------ PUP-1473: User resource fails on UTF-8 comment<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1473> Puppet's user resource now supports UTF-8 characters for the comment attribute, rather than just ASCII. PUP-736: Encoding mis-matches cause package prefetching to fail<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-736> Previously, puppet could fail to process a package resource if it referred to an RPM whose description contained non-ASCII characters. Puppet now handles these resources correctly. PUP-1524: Duplicate events since 3.4.0<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1524> Since Puppet 3.4.0, failed resources would sometimes be logged twice. These duplicate events were particularly problematic for PuppetDB, since they could cause the whole transaction to be rolled back. This release fixes the issue. PUP-1485: test agent/fallback_to_cached_catalog.rb assumes no master is running by default <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1485> The acceptance test for falling back to a cached catalog would still run with a puppet master, even though the functionality assumed that the puppet master was unavailable. The test now guarantees that the master will be unreachable by specifying a bogus server. PUP-1322: Puppet REST API always fails if there's at least one broken manifest <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1322> Previously, REST API calls to <host>/production/resource_types/*?kind=class would fail completely if there was a syntax error in one or more manifests in the module path. This release changes that behavior so that the call will succeed and list all parseable classes. PUP-1529: Usability regression caused by PUP-1322<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1529> Fixes a regression caused by the fix for PUP-1322: syntax errors reached while loading an include would be squelched, which would eventually result in a misleading "class not found" error. PUP-751: Performance regression due to excessive file watching<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-751> This performance regression was also linked to PUP-1322: excessive file watching was causing a significant slowdown during catalog compilation. This release addresses the performance hit and improves benchmarking by adding tasks to measure the loading of defined types. PUP-1729: Remove Debian Sid from build targets<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1729> Acceptance testing on Debian Sid (unstable) was failing regularly due to factors outside of our control, like broken packages in the distribution's own repositories. Acceptance tests are still being run against the Debian "testing" release. *Windows-Specific Fixes* PUP-1211: Puppet Resource Package fails<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1211> On Windows, the puppet resource package command would fail immediately if at least one of the installed packages had non-ASCII characters in its display name. Puppet will now use the correct string encoding on Windows, which fixes this bug. PUP-1389: Windows File resources generating 0 byte files when title has "-"<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1389> This bug prevented puppet from properly managing the content of file resources with "-" in their titles on Windows. This release fixes the bug. PUP-1411: Windows agents experience intermittent SSL_connect failures in acceptance testing <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1411> Acceptance tests would intermittently fail on Windows due to a bug involving OpenSSL and WEBrick that would cause the connection to time out after 6.2 seconds. This release improves the OpenSSL initialization process and extends the timeout interval to 10 seconds, which fixes the bug.
