Hiera 1.3.3 is a backwards-compatible performance and fixes release in the 1.3 series. It provides a substantial speed increase for lookups compared to Hiera 1.3.2. This release also adds support for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) and discontinues support for Fedora 18 and Ubuntu 12.04 (Raring Ringtail).
Shout-out to Sean Millichamp for the original patch providing the performance boost!
