Here''s a summary of issues that have been fixed in facter and puppet since our last email. Due to the large number of issues, I''m only giving a one line summary of each issue, and crediting individuals outside of Puppet Labs for their contributions. More information about each issue can be found at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/<issue#> Also since our last email, we have released facter 1.6.4, puppet 2.7.8, and 2.7.9. The last part of this email lists our current backlog. If you haven''t already, I highly recommend that you vote for the issues that are most important to you.
