Updating modules to Puppet 8
The Puppet 8 compatibility guide detailed the major changes we had to be aware of and we found it invaluable the effort. It's probably worth bookmarking that page until you're done with the upgrade.

Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
We started by decoupling Puppet from Facter as much as we could, introducing the possibility of having multiple Facter backends. While Puppet would use the default Facter implementation when running on its own, external users would be able to define and pass their own Facter implementation when initializing Puppet, similar to how puppetserver configures Puppet to use its JRuby-compliant HTTP client.

How to report bugs or view existing tickets of Puppet software nowadays?
I'm just wondering whether I'm the only one who's wondering how to access Puppet's ticket system nowadays? On the one hand I was stumbling over a bug in Facter last week which luckily has been fixed in the meantime because obviously someone else spotted it as well.

Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
The latest major version of Facter—Puppet's tool for collecting system information—has been out for some time now. However, we've been hard at work fixing bugs ever since. The fact that Facter has to be able to run on a variety of operating systems and architectures makes maintenance quite a challenging ordeal.

AlmaLinux and Foreman + Katello
Facter 3.x (part of Puppet 6.x): up to now, AlmaLinux is incorrectly detected as RedHat operating system (fact os.name). I also submitted a patch here which got merged. But so far there hasn't been a new release of Facter 3.x yet. So anybody not building Facter from source has to wait for Facter 3.15.17. Facter 4 (part of Puppet 7.x) seems to work correctly and it wasn't affected by this issue, as it is a complete rewrite with a different resolver logic.
