Release Candidate: Facter 2.0.1 is not yet released. It entered RC 3 on March 25, 2014.
Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series. (See the note below about Facter 2.0.0.)
Fixes
FACT-155: operatingsystemrelease in Solaris 10 behaves differently from Solaris 11On Solaris 10, the operatingsystemrelease fact would incorrectly be set to the update version. This release corrects the bug.
FACT-409: Raising errors on non-existent commands too disruptive
Facter 2.0.0
For historical reasons, Facter 2.0.0 was never released. Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series.
In May 2012, several release candidates were published for a Facter 2.0.0 release, using code that had diverged from the 1.6 series. After testing it, the Puppet community and developers decided that this code wasn't yet usable and the release was cancelled, in favor of continuing work that became the Facter 1.7 series.
Since the 2.0.0rc1 tag in the Facter repo was already occupied by that cancelled release, and since issuing a RC5 out of nowhere might have been confusing, we decided to go directly to 2.0.1 instead.
