Here's a summary of issues that have been fixed in facter and puppet since
our last email. Due to the large number of issues, I'm only giving a one
line summary of each issue, and crediting individuals outside of Puppet
Labs for their contributions. More information about each issue can be
found at:

  http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/<issue#>

Also since our last email, we have released facter 1.6.4, puppet 2.7.8, and
2.7.9.

The last part of this email lists our current backlog. If you haven't
already, I highly recommend that you vote for the issues that are most
important to you.

In team news, Patrick Carlisle recently started in the Open Source Team and
has been making great progress resolving open pull requests.
