    Description

      Puppet currently bundles version 2.2.7 of the CFPropertyList gem. This works fine, but the newest version 2.3.3 has a couple of bug fixes and also adds support for the rare plain ASCII format. Having support for this format would be very useful in certain situations, as Xcode and System Profiler still use it.

      We've also recently discovered a serious bug in string handling, see PUP-6696.
