I''ve just committed Facter 1.3.8.  All of the work for this release
was done by James Turnbull, so everyone should thank him for getting
it done.  Here''s the changelog:

      Fixed Rdoc::usage bug on CentOS 5 - closed Puppet #753 and
Facter #40

     Added support to return multiple interfaces and their IP
addresses and
     MAC addressess as facts. Returns interface_interfacename and
     macaddress_interfacename.  Existing ipaddress and macaddress
facts are
     unchanged and still returned.  Currently Linux only.  Closes #6.

     Added macaddress fact support for FreeBSD and OpenBSD - closes #37

     Added hardwareisa support for *BSD platforms - closed #38

     Facter now detects the Mandriva distribution - closes #39

     Facter now correctly detects ipaddress on NetBSD - closes #42

You can get the tarball at:

I''ll be going to RubyForge and FreshMeat to do the announcements
next.  Hopefully the packagers will get the real work done now.
