Headline features
···
================= Puppet 4 support has been added in two key areas:- Puppet 4 support in the installer, including setting up Puppet Server
when using a Puppet Agent (AIO). - Puppet 4 support in the smart proxy, using a new API available in
Puppet Server to import environments and classes instead of parsing.
New installations are strongly recommended to start with Puppet 4 and
Puppet Server.
Lots more features can be found listed in the release notes:
