  Hello fellow CFEngineers,

  We are happy to announce the availability of CFEngine 3.27.0.

  Patch a new LTS series, it's packed with great stuff.

  To highlight just a few things:
  - new functions like `classfilterdata()'
  - new tools like `cfbs convert' and `cfbs analyze'
  - new capabiities like native profiling data from `cf-agent' and
    choosing to evaluate policy in the order it's written.

  For more details, please read our [blog post].

  Community packages for [3.27.0] are available from the [community
  download page] and [public repositories]. Enterprise packages are
  available from the [Enterprise package download page].
