Blog: 2022-05-09: Content & Tooling Team Status Update

Welcome Back

Hello and welcome back, this is the first of what should be many more weekly status updates going forward!

I know it has been quite some time since the last one was made, but with all the changes that the team has gone through, from a near complete change of members to be given a brand new name, we just have not been in a place to get this out.

For more information on the various changes that we have gone through please take a look at our previous blog which introduced the team as it is now, which you can find just through here! Anyway onto the real reason your here, the updates:

PRM 0.2.0

As you may have noticed from the blog release that just went out we have just made a new release of PRM, the Puppet Runtime Manager!

While I’m not going to write to much about it here as it has an entire blog post to itself I will encourage everyone to take a look when they can and put out a big thanks to team intern Peter Murphy! Without who this release would never have happened.

Anyway that’s enough from me, for more information on the release please find the previously mentioned blog through here!
