The engineering team is working through some process overhauls so that we can get modules addressed better, and part of it is getting regular releases out. Specifically for stdlib, let me chat with folks and see if there's anything holding up a release on stdlib.

06/03/2026, 4:14 PMHey Pat, just following up on this one here. I chatted with engineering and it doesn't look like there was any particular blocker to a release, so I've logged a request with the team to make a release of stdlib when they have the cycles in their sprints.

06/04/2026, 1:26 PMThe new v10.0 release of stdlib is out! https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppetlabs/stdlib/changelog
A major version bump was needed for this one since one of the changes in this release was that Puppet 7 support was removed. I hope this helps!

06/04/2026, 5:17 PMThe new v10.0 release of stdlib has been pulled. We're going to validate with the teams that were looking to remove the Puppet 7 support and see if we can modify those changes so that a major version is not required and we can keep Puppet 7 support. We'll plan on doing a minor release once we've clarified the approach.

06/04/2026, 7:19 PMIt's not so much that Puppet 7 support is needed, but that from a semver perspective it's considered a breaking change to update the required versions on a module. So when we shift the requirement to be 8+, then it becomes a major module version update instead of a minor version, which leads to issues with the ecosystem needing to update modules to use the new major version.
So we'll try to get this out with fewer hassles for everyone.

06/16/2026, 1:54 PMHey there, Pat, the team got together and has decided to go ahead with a major release, but with some advance notice (targeting June 30th). I did a bit of a write-up here: What You Need to Know About the New puppetlabs-stdlib 10 in June 2026 - DEV Community

06/30/2026, 8:19 PMThanks for the publication, my pilot instance with the strict parser enabled flagged an issue. github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/pull/1477 My normal workflows haven't enabled the strict mode.
