Puppet.Dsc Stable Release!

This week we pushed ourPuppet.Dsc PowerShell module to thePowerShell Gallery at version1.0.0! This represents more than a year of work bringing us confidence and stability in the auto-generated modules which Puppetize PowerShell DSC Resources. That done, not muchactually changed in this release - aton of added testing and validation, but the features were already very solid. As always we’ll continue to take bug reports and address them but our attention turns now to the long-promised automation; We’re working through the auto-publishing of PowerShell modules with DSC Resources to the Puppet Forge! Very soon, there will be less than a 24 hour delay between when a new module (or new version of an existing module) with DSC Resources lands on the PowerShell Gallery and when it arrives, Puppetized, on the Forge!

rpsec-puppet,puppet-lint moved topuppetlabs namespace

We have movedpuppet-lint,rspec-puppet to the namespace and releasedpuppet-lint2.5.0 andrspec-puppet2.10.0. This will help facilitate more frequent releases of these gems in the future.

Read about ourcontent telemetry story and how it can improve the ecosystem, then see some more examples ofways to use our existing module data already.
