Hot on the heels of Puppet 3.5 comes Puppet 3.6.0. We said things were going to accelerate in Puppet's open-source release cadence, and here it is. Puppet 3.6.0 is a backward-compatible features and fixes release in the Puppet 3 series. The biggest things in this release are: * Improvements to directory environments, and the deprecation of config file environments * Support for purging unmanaged ssh_authorized_key resources * Support for installing gems for a custom provider as part of a Puppet run * A configurable global logging level * A configurable hashing algorithm (for FIPS compliance and other purposes) * Improvements to the experimental future parser Notable community contributions in this release include Felix Franks' great work on the ssh authorized keys type, fixing a feature request from 2008, and Jared Jennings for dilligently working through some epic pull request threads to add FIPS compliance.
