## Welcome Back

Hello and welcome back, this is the first of what should be many more weekly status updates going forward!

I know it has been quite some time since the last one was made, but with all the changes that the team has gone through, from a near complete change of members to be given a brand new name, we just have not been in a place to get this out.

For more information on the various changes that we have gone through please take a look at our previous blog which introduced the team as it is now, which you can find just through [here](https://puppetlabs.github.io/content-and-tooling-team/blog/posts/team-rebrand/)! Anyway onto the real reason your here, the updates:

## PRM 0.2.0

As you may have noticed from the blog release that just went out we have just made a new release of PRM, the Puppet Runtime Manager!

While I’m not going to write to much about it here as it has an entire blog post to itself I will encourage everyone to take a look when they can and put out a big thanks to team intern [Peter Murphy](https://github.com/petergmurphy)! Without who this release would never have happened.

Anyway that’s enough from me, for more information on the release please find the previously mentioned blog through [here](https://puppetlabs.github.io/content-and-tooling-team/blog/posts/prm-0-2-0-release/)!
