Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Puppet Enterprise 2.8 is now available

Hello puppet-users,

Just a quick heads-up that Puppet Enterprise 2.8 is now available.

This latest release includes a key new feature: IBM AIX support. The puppet 
agent can now be installed on nodes running AIX so you can manage them 
using Puppet Enterprise. To help you configure AIX nodes, support for AIX 
package providers, RPM, NIM and BFF, has been added as well. Resource links 
on installation on AIX nodes available below:

   - System requirements: 
   http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/2.8/install_system_requirements.html
   - Installing Puppet Enterprise: 
   http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/2.8/install_basic.html
   - Type reference on AIX package providers: 
   http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/2.8/reference_type.html#package

Other features and bug fixes include: 

   - Component Version Bumps: Puppet 2.7.21, Facter 1.6.17, Hiera 1.1.2, 
   Hiera-Puppet 1.0.0, Stomp 1.2.3. With the bumps to the new versions, users 
   should notice faster compilation times and better performance.
   - Security Patch: A vulnerability in the PE installer has been patched.

Any idea on timescales (even which quarter) you are expecting to release a PE3
with puppet 3 and more importantly MCollective 2 (for the windows support)?

Thanks
Damian
