## Hiera 1.0.0rc3 Release Notes ##
Remove Puppet parser functions

This commit removes all the Puppet parser functions. This is being done
to allow hiera to work better in stand-alone setups, and remove the
dependency on Puppet for testing.

The Parser functions will now live in hiera-puppet.

(#14514) Use default config when hiera.yaml is missing

Hiera no longer raises an exception when the hiera configuration file
is missing; instead log a warning and use the following default config:

{
:backends => ["yaml"],
:hierarchy => "common",
:logger => "console"
}

This patch includes updated tests.
