=======================## Facter 1.7.2-rc1 Bug Fixes ##
=======================
(#14522) Invalid byte sequence message for virtual fact on Solaris 10 x86_64
The previous attempt fix this issue did not handle the case where the
data being read from /proc/self/status was already UTF-8 encoded,
resulting in ''Could not retrieve virtual: invalid byte sequence in
US-ASCII'' messages to still occur.
(#19764) Linux ipaddress not captured according to documentation
Previously, if the ipconfig command listed the loopback address first,
then facter on linux would report the ipaddress fact as nil. Now,
facter will continue looking and report on the first non 127.0.0.0/8
subnetted IP it finds.
(#20229) Network facts not working on Archlinux with net-tools 1.60
Previously, the ipconfig command with net-tools 1.60 output the
netmask differently causing facter''s regular expression matching to
fail. As a result, the global netmask and per-interface netmask_*
facts were nil on Archlinux.
(#20236) Refactor the virtual fact
Previously, if Facter executed lspci and was unable to determine the
virtual platform from the output, dmidecode wass never consulted. Now
dmidecode is always consulted regardless of whether lspci is present
or not.
(#20915) Invalid byte sequence message for virtual fact on Linux
Previously, Facter was reading DMI entries from sysfs and interpreting
it as an encoded string, resulting in ''Could not retrieve virtual:
invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII'' messages to occur. Now, Facter
reads the data as binary.
(#20938) Domain facter print spurious warnings to stderr
Previously, if the host and domain information of a system was wrong,
then Facter would output warnings to stderr as a result of executing
hostname and dnsdomainname commands. Now Facter suppresses these
warnings.
(#20321) Facter::Util::Resolution::exec should be more descriptive
when complaining about shell built-ins
Previously, if Facter output a deprecation warning about shell
builtins on Windows, it did not specify which command triggered the
problem. Now Facter includes the command that triggered the warning.
