[ANN] Vagrant 1.7.3 is released!

[Seth Vargo]

Hello all,

I am super excited to announce the release of Vagrant 1.7.3. There are many great improvements and bug fixes in this release:

You can view the entire CHANGELOG here (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/7743b8314da7e883c58f022789d9c986f97d9688/CHANGELOG.md#173-july-10-2015), but I wanted to call out just a few of the many amazing improvements that went into this release:

• Added support for VirtualBox 5
• Updated support for WinRM
• Add Vagrant.original_env to allow plugin developers (and Vagrant) to restore the pre-Vagrant environment which is important when shelling out to other processes
• Improved support for guests including Fedora, Centos, Solaris, and more
• Improved customization support for hyperv provider

Additionally there are almost 70 fixed bugs! We did our best to prioritize bug fixes that were most requested. The downloads are available from the official downloads page:

    https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

As always, please test this upgrade in an isolated environment before upgrading everywhere. If you have any problems, please report issues at https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues.

Best,

Seth

That's great, especially the Puppet 4 support. Unfortunately there appears to be a problem on Windows in that the provisioner can't verify the puppet install on the guest, which then causes an error and the provisioner therefore doesn't run. I have raised an issue for this at the place suggested (v1.7.3 Cannot find puppet install on Windows #5943). I note at least one other user has also experienced the same problem.
