Enhancements

Refresh cached Puppet CA on Puppet client

Puppet agents will now attempt to refresh their CA certificate(s) once per day. The frequency is controlled by a new Puppet setting: ca_refresh_interval. PUP-10639

Resolved issues

Removed dependency on private class Concurrent::RubyThreadLocalVar

The Puppet::ThreadLocal class no longer relies on concurrent-ruby's private Concurrent::RubyThreadLocalVar class and instead uses Concurrent::ThreadLocalVar. PUP-11723

Yumrepo target attribute does not work

Using the yumrepo resource, enables the target parameter to set the filepath for a Yum repository to an arbitrary filepath or to an existing repository file. Thank you to community member nabertrand for this contribution. PA-5187
