Facter 2.4.0 is a backward-compatible features-and-fixes release in the
Facter 2 series.
Included in this release are several backend improvements to prepare for
Puppet 4.0. No new facts are added, but we've included various improvements
for OS support and a few updates to existing facts.
Notable updates:
- Preparation for Puppet 4
- Puppet 4 will change the filesystem layout for its configuration and
synced plugin directories. Facter can now use these new directories in
addition to the existing Puppet 3 directories.
- Improved logging: Puppet 4 can now show Facter's error and warning
messages in its logs.
- Addition of the ability to set external fact weights based on
directory.
- The 'partitions' structured fact has been extended to include a
'label' key for each partition.
- AIX networking fact improvements
- Various bug fixes including improvements to the virtualization,
networking and uptime facts.
