AutoPkg users -- IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you use AutoPkg, do not use the munkitools3.munki recipe to import this release, as it will not import the new embedded Python package and any clients "upgraded" with the results will be broken.
A new munkitools4.munki recipe is available in the AutoPkg recipes repo.
