New file change detection and improved source control validation in Puppet Continuous Delivery 5.12.0

The latest updates to Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise are now available, bringing new capabilities and improvements to both current and previous major versions! Whether you're on the latest release or still running the previous major version, there’s something valuable for you in this update.

What’s New in Version 5.12.0

This release brings enhancements that improve usability and deepen visibility for Puppet Enterprise and Puppet Enterprise Advanced customers.

Enhanced Source Control Integration

Improved validation and error handling when setting up source control connections to on-premises Azure DevOps and GitHub Enterprise. This includes:

  • Enforced validation of HTTP(s) host URLs
  • Clear messaging for invalid CA certificates

Impact Analysis Enhancement

Impact Analysis now detects changes to files in a module’s files directory that are referenced by the source parameter of a File resource in a catalog. These resources will appear as modified in the Impact Analysis report, with a note in the Continuous Delivery console indicating that the source file contents have changed.

License Processing Fix

Resolved an issue where Impact Analysis could appear locked despite valid entitlements.

Impact Analysis Enhancement

Just like in 5.12.0, Impact Analysis now detects changes to files in a module’s files directory, improving visibility into affected nodes and resources.

RBAC Fix

Resolved an issue where blank user ID profiles were unintentionally granted more rights than their group membership. This fix ensures proper permission boundaries are maintained.
