We're back with a maintenance release: 2.6.5. This release addresses a
number of bugs in the 2.6.x branch and adds a handful of features and
documentation updates.

This second release candidate includes a dramatic improvement in the
speed of PUT and POST requests under Rack. If you have previously
experienced timeouts or mysterious errors when using reports with a
rack-based (e.g. Apache w/ Passenger) puppet master, please test this
release candidate!

The second release candidate is available for download at:

http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-2.6.5rc2.tar.gz

We're hoping this is going to be the last RC so please test it!
