If you’re managing infrastructure with OpenVox (the community-maintained fork of Puppet) or making the transition to OpenVox, staying current with agent releases is crucial for security, performance, and access to new features. Here’s how to track releases directly through GitHub repositories.

The main release repository is https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox. This is where new agent versions are tagged and released.

To get notifications:

  1. Navigate to https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox
  2. Click the Watch button in the top-right corner and select Custom from the dropdown
    watch button dropdown
  3. Check the Releases option

  4. Click Apply

You’ll now receive GitHub notifications (email or in-app) whenever a new version is released.

Email Notifications

By default, watched releases will send email notifications to your GitHub-registered email address. You can customize this in your GitHub settings under Notifications.

What to Look For in GitHub Release Announcements

When a new version is announced, pay attention to:

  2. Operating system support - Check if your platforms are supported (recent releases added EL10 and Debian 13 support)
  3. Breaking changes - Note any incompatibilities with older versions
  4. Security updates - CVE fixes and security improvements
  5. New features - Enhancements that might benefit your infrastructure
  6. Deprecations - Features or platforms being phased out
