Facter 2.0.1-rc1 release notes
---------------------------------------------------
Release Candidate: Facter 2.0.1 is not yet released. It entered RC 1 on
February 28, 2014.
Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series. (See the note
below about Facter 2.0.0.)
*Features*
FACT-134: Perform basic sanity checks on Facter
output<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-134>
Facter now does sanity checking on the output of facts. Facter previously
assumed that all facts would be of type String but did not enforce this;
Facter now validates that facts are one of (Integer, Float, TrueClass,
FalseClass, NilClass, String, Array, Hash).
FACT-237: Allow fact resolutions to be built up
piece-wise<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-237>
FACT-239: Expose different resolution types in
DSL<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-239>
Introduces aggregate resolutions for facts. Aggregate resolutions allow
facts to be extended at runtime and provide a simplified way of building up
complex fact values.
FACT-341: Windows operatingsystemrelease
support<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-341>
On Windows, the operatingsystemrelease fact now returns XP,2003, 2003 R2,
Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2,8, or 2012, depending on the version reportedy by
WMI.
*Improvements*
FACT-94: Unvendor
CFPropertyList<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-94>
Removes vendored code for CFPropertyList in favor of treating it as a
separate dependency and managing it with Rubygems.
FACT-163: Fact loading logic is overly
complicated<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-163>
In Facter 1.x the fact search path would be recursively loaded, but only
when using Facter via the command line. In Facter 2.0 only fact files at
the top level of the search path will be loaded, which matches the behavior
when loading facts with Puppet.
FACT-266: Backport Facter::Util::Confine improvements to Facter
2<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-266>
Adds several improvements to Facter::Util::Confine, including the ability
to confine a fact to a block.
FACT-321: Remove deprecated code for
2.0<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-321>
Code that had previously been marked deprecated has now been removed.
FACT-322: Remove special casing of the empty
string<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-322>
Previous versions of Facter would interpret an empty string (and only an
empty string) as nil. Now that facts can return more than just strings
(i.e., they can directly return nil), empty strings no longer have this
special case.
FACT-186: Build Windows-specific
gem<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-186>
Adds Windows-specific gem dependencies for Facter 2.
FACT-194: Merge external facts support to Facter
2<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-194>
Adds pluginsync support for external facts to Facter 2.
FACT-207: Remove deprecated
ldapname<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-207>
Removes all instances of ldapname, completing its deprecation.
FACT-272: Update Facter man page for
2.0<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-272>
The man page for Facter 2 now includes the new command line options.
*Bug Fixes*
FACT-202: Fix undefined path in
macaddress.rb<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-202>
One of the possible resolutions for the macaddress fact would incorrectly
return nil. This release fixes the bug.
*Facter 2.0.0*
For historical reasons, Facter 2.0.0 was never released. Facter 2.0.1 is
the first release in the Facter 2 series.
In May 2012, several release candidates were published for a Facter 2.0.0
release, using code that had diverged from the 1.6 series. After testing
it, the Puppet community and developers decided that this code wasn't yet
usable and the release was cancelled, in favor of continuing work that
became the Facter 1.7 series.
Since the 2.0.0rc1 tag in the Facter repo was already occupied by that
cancelled release, and since issuing a RC5 out of nowhere might have been
confusing, we decided to go directly to 2.0.1 instead.
