Facter 1.6.6rc1 Release Notes
=====================

Support EC2 facts on OpenStack

    OpenStack exports an EC2 compatible API, so make the information
    available via facts by knowing that OpenStack generates mac addresses
    beginning with 02:16:3E

#12362 Use Tempfile to generate temp files

    Previously, facter used ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], /tmp, etc as it's
    temp directory search path, using the first one that existed. It then
    used constant file names within the temp directory to re-write the
    files in ruby's bin directory, and bat wrappers on Windows.

    First, it leads to predictable temp file names, which is bad. Second,
    when installing facter via a non-interactive ssh shell, e.g.
      ssh <host> ruby install.rb

    which is what the acceptance test harness does, the TMP and TEMP
    environment variables are usually not defined. So facter was always
    defaulting to /tmp, which doesn't work when installing facter on
    Windows agents during acceptance tests.

    This commit just changes the install script to use ruby's Tempfile to
    generate secure temp files that works in non-interactive shells.
