Released April 1, 2014. (RC1: February 28; RC2: March 12; RC3: March 25; RC4: March 28.)
Facter 2.0.1 is the first release in the Facter 2 series.
Headline Features
- Fact values can now be arbitrarily complex data structures instead of simple strings.
- There’s a new API for adding facts, which enables structured facts and allows fact values to be built up across multiple ‘chunks’ of code. (see
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.0/fact_overview.html for the full details )
Additional Changes
- There are some backwards-incompatible changes to fact resolutions which were queued up for a major semver bump.
- Code that was deprecated in the Facter 1.x series is now gone, both internal code as well as some facts (‘ldapname’, ‘memorytotal’, ‘selinux_mode’)
- Facter no longer supports Ruby 1.8.5.
