Facter 1.6.6 Release Notes
=====================

Support EC2 facts on OpenStack

   OpenStack exports an EC2 compatible API, so make the information
   available via facts by knowing that OpenStack generates mac addresses
   beginning with 02:16:3E

 #12666 Make ec2 facts work on CentOS again

   Refactoring the ec2 facts lost the support for CentOS where the
   hardware address in arp -an is uppercased.  Fix and add a unit
   test now that there are those

#12362 Use Tempfile to generate temp files

   Previously, facter used ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], /tmp, etc as it's
   temp directory search path, using the first one that existed. It then
   used constant file names within the temp directory to re-write the
   files in ruby's bin directory, and bat wrappers on Windows.

   First, it leads to predictable temp file names, which is bad. Second,
   when installing facter via a non-interactive ssh shell, e.g.
     ssh <host> ruby install.rb

   which is what the acceptance test harness does, the TMP and TEMP
   environment variables are usually not defined. So facter was always
   defaulting to /tmp, which doesn't work when installing facter on
   Windows agents during acceptance tests.

   This commit just changes the install script to use ruby's Tempfile to
   generate secure temp files that works in non-interactive shells.
