Hiera 1.3.2-rc1 release notes
---------------------------------------------------
Pre-release: Hiera 1.3.2 is not yet released. It entered RC1 on February 11, 2014.

Hiera 1.3.2 is a bug fix release in the 1.3 series. It adds packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, support for deploying to Solaris and Windows vCloud instances, and fixes a bug on Debian.

RHEL 7 Support

HI-179: Add RHEL 7 support for Hiera packaging.

Bug Fixes

HI-176: Hiera would fail to find the correct ruby binary on Debian when an alternative version was installed. Hiera now uses /usr/bin/ruby, which fixes the issue.
HI-178: Acceptance tests have been added for Solaris and Windows vCloud machines.
