Puppet users - Aug 2013 - Will the puppetmaster compile a catalog if there are not changes?

I have been asked a question for which I cannot seem to find an answer. 
When a client contacts my puppetmaster, will the puppet master compile a 
catalog if there have been not changes to that clients configuration? Or, 
will the puppetmaster just say ''there are no changes to your catalog so
you
need not do anything''?

Thanks in advance

The master won''t recompile a catalog if there have been no changes on
the
master''s side, I believe. It will always send a catalog, if possible,
to
the client, either a newly compiled one or an old one if it didn''t need
to
recompile.
