## Puppet 3.0.0rc2 Release Notes ##
(#14609) Fix master initialization when running under Passenger

There is some initialization that happens in CommandLine.rb
(such as parsing the puppet config file) which was being
bypassed when launching puppetmaster as a Rack/Passenger app.

This commit tweaks the rack config to call into CommandLine
directly, which is unfortunate but works for now.

(#14514) Check for the presence of hiera config

Puppet initializes Hiera using a configuration Hash instead of a
configuration file. Puppet now checks for the existence of the hiera
configuration file and uses an empty configuration and logs a warning
if missing.

We also ensure Hiera uses the Puppet logger by overriding the
configuration hash to set the logger explicitly.
