+## Supported Release 4.13.0
+### Summary
+
+This version of stdlib deprecates a whole host of functions, and provides stepping stones to move to Puppet 4 type validations. Be sure to check out the new `deprecation()` and `validate_legacy()` functions to migrate off the deprecated v3-style data validations.
+
+Many thanks to all community contributors: bob, Dmitry Ilyin, Dominic Cleal, Joris, Joseph Yaworski, Loic Antoine-Gombeaud, Maksym Melnychok, Michiel Brandenburg, Nate Potter, Romain Tartière, Stephen Benjamin, and Steve Moore, as well as anyone contributing in the code review process and by submitting issues.
+
+Special thanks to [Voxpupuli's](https://voxpupuli.org/) Igor Galić for donating the puppet-tea types to kickstart this part of stdlib.
+
+
+#### Deprecations
+* `validate_absolute_path`, `validate_array`, `validate_bool`, `validate_hash`, `validate_integer`, `validate_ip_address`, `validate_ipv4_address`, `validate_ipv6_address`, `validate_numeric`, `validate_re`, `validate_slength`, `validate_string`, and their `is_` counter parts are now deprecated on Puppet 4. See the `validate_legacy()` description in the README for help on migrating away from those functions.
+* The `dig` function is provided by core puppet since 4.5.0 with slightly different calling convention. The stdlib version can still be accessed as `dig44` for now.
+
+
+#### Features
+* Add Puppet 4 data types for Unix, and Windows paths, and URLs.
+* Add `deprecation` function to warn users of functionality that will be removed soon.
+* Add `validate_legacy` function to help with migrating to Puppet 4 data types.
+
+* Add `any2bool` function, a combination of of `string2bool` and `num2bool`.
+* Add `delete_regex` function to delete array elements matching a regular expression.
+* Add `puppet_environmentpath` fact to expose the `environmentpath` setting.
+* Add `regexpescape` function to safely insert arbitrary strings into regular expressions.
+* Add `shell_escape`, `shell_join`, and `shell_split` functions for safer working with shell scripts..
+
+* The `delete` function now also accepts regular expressions as search term.
+* The `loadyaml` function now accepts a default value, which is returned when there is an error loading the file.
+
+#### Bugfixes
+* Fix `file_line.match_for_absence` implementation and description to actually work. (MODULES-3590)
+* Fix `getparam` so that it can now also return `false`. (MODULES-3933)
+* Fix the fixture setup for testing and adjust `load_module_metadata` and `loadjson` tests.
+* Fix `defined_with_params` to handle `undef` correctly on all puppet versions. (PUP-6422, MODULES-3543)
+* Fix `file_line.path` validation to use puppet's built in `absolute_path?` matcher.
+
+#### Minor Improvements
+* README changes: improved descriptions of `deep_merge`, `delete`, `ensure_packages`, `file_line.after`, `range`, and `validate_numeric`.
+* The `getvar` function now returns nil in all situations where the variable is not found.
+* Update the `dig44` function with better `undef`, `nil`, and `false` handling.
+* Better wording on `str2bool` argument validation error message.
+
+
+### Known issues
+* The `validate_legacy` function relies on internal APIs from Puppet 4.4.0 (PE 2016.1) onwards, and doesn't work on earlier versions.
+* Puppet 4.5.0 (PE 2016.2) has a number of improvements around data types - especially error handling - that make working with them much nicer.

+
 ##### For module users
 
 If you are running Puppet 4 and receiving deprecation warnings about `validate_*` functions, the `validate_legacy` function can help you find and resolve the deprecated code.

 Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can’t access the huge number of platforms and myriad hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things. For more information, see our [module contribution guide](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/forge/contributing.html).
