Happy Easter!!
Hey folks! Easter is finally here and a fair lot of us are going on some well-deserved holidays. Hoping everyone can spend some time with their family during this vacation.
Updated workflows
This week we have completed our work updating our GitHub Actions workflows. This piece of work has been one of our focus points over the past few weeks as we invested resources into improving our infrastructure. As part of this work, we have standardised our use of workflows into a single shared origin while updating syntax to avoid future problems arising from deprecation.
Major releases coming
Some big releases are coming lately as a result of our Puppet 8 module preparation. This week we have released six modules and we are expecting to keep releasing several modules per week until (and after) Puppet 8 officially comes out.
