+## Puppet 3.8.3
+
+Released September 21, 2015.
+
+Puppet 3.8.3 is a bug fix release in the Puppet 3.8 series. It fixes one significant regression and several miscellaneous bugs.

+
+### Regression Fix: Warnings (Not Errors) for New Reserved Words
+
+In Puppet 3.8.2, we reserved the new keywords `application`, `consumes`, and `produces` ([PUP-4941](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4941)). For this version of Puppet, using these words as class names or unquoted strings was supposed to log a warning, but due to a bug, Puppet would raise an error and fail compilation instead.
+
+This is now fixed, and the new keywords log warnings as intended.

+
+### Bug Fixes: Misc
+
+* [PUP-3045: exec resource with timeout doesn't kill executed command that times out](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3045) --- On POSIX systems, `exec` resources with a `timeout` value will now send a TERM signal if their command runs too long.
+* [PUP-4639: Refreshing a LaunchDaemon leaves it disabled](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4639) --- When refreshing a service on Mac OS X that was already running (via `notify`, `subscribe`, or `~>`), Puppet would stop the service and fail to start it.
+* [PUP-5044: launchd enable/disable on OS X 10.10](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-5044) --- Enable/disable of services on El Capitan (10.10) wasn't working because the overrides plist moved. Puppet now knows where to find that plist on 10.10+.
+* [PUP-5013: resource evaluation metrics are missing when not using an ENC](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-5013) --- Puppet Server's metrics for resource evaluation were very incomplete, because we were only tracking one of the several code paths that can evaluate resources. The metrics should be more complete now.
+* [PUP-735: Status unchanged when "Could not apply complete catalog"](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-735) --- Previously, if a catalog had a dependency cycle (resource A depended on B which depended on A), then the run would fail with a cryptic error "Could not apply complete catalog", Puppet would exit with 0, and the report would omit metrics information about the failure. With this change, Puppet logs that a cycle was detected, exits with 1, and includes correct information about the failure in the report.

 ### Deprecation: New Reserved Words
 
 To prepare for new features in the 4.x series, the bare words 'application', 'consumes', and 'produces' have been made into reserved words when using the future parser. A warning is issued when they are used. These words should now be quoted if a string is wanted.
