+
+### Resolved issues
+
+- **Puppet agent fails to restart with configuration changes or updates.** Previously, when two agent runs were taking place at the same time, the Puppet agent could get in a `restart_requested` state. This is now fixed.  [PUP-10351](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10351)
+
+- **An "unable to set ownership" error with logdest on agents running as root.** Puppet no longer generates an error when using a log file destination. [PUP-10407](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10407)
+
+- **Installer switch `service-enable true` reports wrong actions in certain conditions.** Previously, the Puppet resource command wrongly reporting the enabled state of a systemd service when the ensure parameter was also specified. This is now fixed. [PUP-10479](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10479)
+
+

+
+- **The `purge_ssh_keys` parameter requires you to set the home directory in the manifest.** The release fixes an issue where Puppet required you to manage the home directory when purging SSH keys with `purge_ssh_keys`. [PUP-10506](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10485)
+

+
+- **Ensure Windows wide character strings have a wide terminator.** This release improves memory safety when Puppet converts Ruby strings to wide character strings on Windows. [PUP-10254](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10254)
+
+- **"HTTP 406 Not Acceptable" error message should contain format names.** This release prints the MIME types, instead of format objects, from the Accept header, in cases where puppetserver cannot generate a catalog in the requested format. [PUP-10549](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10549)
+
+- **Puppet Windows package provider fails if there are garbage characters after an embedded NULL.** This release fixes a bug in the Windows package provider when reading package version form registry.

+
+- **Agent runs failing with `Invalid` or `unsupported charset:ANSI_X3.4-1968`.** Previously, agent runs failed when the locale settings where unrecognised or in an error state because leatherman logging expects a working locale. This release implements a defense for the leatherman logging function. [PA-3254](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PA-3254)
+
+- **Running `remove_old_postgresql_versions` after upgrade fails.** This release fixes an issue in Puppet's behaviour when listing information about a single specific service and all available ones by showing services in a static state. [PUP-10437](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10437)
+
+- **Puppet does not add correct command flags.** This release fixes an issue where Puppet would not add the correct command flags when ensuring a `user` resource with `managehome` enabled. [PUP-8897](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-8897).
+
+- **The `systemd` provider does not honor documented enabled states.** Previously, enabling indirect services caused an idempotency issue in Puppet. This has been fixed by not allowing users to enable/disable these services and to print a debug log instead. [PUP-7163](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7163)
+
+- **User resource expiry incorrect on SLES 11.** On SLES 11, setting a user resource expiry to absent resulted in disabling the user instead. This is now fixed. [PUP-7663](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7663)

 ## Puppet 5.5.20
 
 Released  30 April 2020
 
 ### New features
 
-- Improved performance on the `selmodule` provider. Previously, the `selmodule` provider called `/usr/sbin/semodule —list` once or twice per resource. This resulted in a heavy duplication of effort and increased apply time. In this release, a new cache improves the performance. [PUP-10313](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10313?src=confmacro)

-- This release fixes a regression in the string formatting rules that caused a short form for an Array or Hash to not be recognized.
