Release Candidate: Facter 2.0.1 is not yet released. It entered RC 4 on
March 28, 2014.

Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series. (See the note
below about Facter 2.0.0.)

Fixes

FACT-447: Remove Ruby 1.8.5
support<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-447>

Earlier versions of Facter included support for Ruby 1.8.5, which required
a number of monkey patches for compatibility. As of Facter 2.0.1 RC4, the
minimum supported version of Ruby is
1.8.7.<https://jira.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-409>

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.
