Hello!

The Puppet Developer Experience team is pleased to announce the latest release of the Puppet Development Kit (PDK), version 1.16.0.

Highlights from the 1.16.0 release include:

 - Added a new "use_litmus" setting for auto-generated Travis CI configurations to make it easier to adopt Puppet Litmus in your module CI pipelines.
- PDK will now correctly place new files based on the root of your module even if you invoke `pdk new` from within a subdirectory of your module.

- To ensure that modules are compatible with all Puppet Masters regardless of their locale, `pdk module build` will now reject files that contain non-ASCII characters in their name.

Reminder: As of PDK 1.14.1, use of the PDK with Ruby versions prior to 2.4.0 is now deprecated and a warning will be issued. PDK 1.16.0 is still fully functional back to Ruby 2.1.9 however we are projecting a PDK 2.0.0 release in early 2020 which will eliminate support for Ruby < 2.4.0.
