Facter 2.0.1-rc1 release notes
---------------------------------------------------

Release Candidate: Facter 2.0.1 is not yet released. It entered RC 1 on February 28, 2014.

Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series. (See the note below about Facter 2.0.0.)

Features

FACT-134: Perform basic sanity checks on Facter output

Facter now does sanity checking on the output of facts. Facter previously assumed that all facts would be of type String but did not enforce this; Facter now validates that facts are one of (Integer, Float, TrueClass, FalseClass, NilClass, String, Array, Hash).

FACT-237: Allow fact resolutions to be built up piece-wise

FACT-239: Expose different resolution types in DSL

Introduces aggregate resolutions for facts. Aggregate resolutions allow facts to be extended at runtime and provide a simplified way of building up complex fact values.

FACT-341: Windows operatingsystemrelease support

On Windows, the operatingsystemrelease fact now returns XP,2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2,8, or 2012, depending on the version reportedy by WMI.

Improvements

FACT-94: Unvendor CFPropertyList

Removes vendored code for CFPropertyList in favor of treating it as a separate dependency and managing it with Rubygems.

FACT-163: Fact loading logic is overly complicated

In Facter 1.x the fact search path would be recursively loaded, but only when using Facter via the command line. In Facter 2.0 only fact files at the top level of the search path will be loaded, which matches the behavior when loading facts with Puppet.

FACT-266: Backport Facter::Util::Confine improvements to Facter 2

Adds several improvements to Facter::Util::Confine, including the ability to confine a fact to a block.

FACT-321: Remove deprecated code for 2.0

Code that had previously been marked deprecated has now been removed.

FACT-322: Remove special casing of the empty string

Previous versions of Facter would interpret an empty string (and only an empty string) as nil. Now that facts can return more than just strings (i.e., they can directly return nil), empty strings no longer have this special case.

FACT-186: Build Windows-specific gem

Adds Windows-specific gem dependencies for Facter 2.

FACT-194: Merge external facts support to Facter 2

Adds pluginsync support for external facts to Facter 2.

FACT-207: Remove deprecated ldapname

Removes all instances of ldapname, completing its deprecation.

FACT-272: Update Facter man page for 2.0

The man page for Facter 2 now includes the new command line options.

Bug Fixes

FACT-202: Fix undefined path in macaddress.rb

One of the possible resolutions for the macaddress fact would incorrectly return nil. This release fixes the bug.

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.
