Windows Executable External Facts (#22077) Facter on Windows now supports generating external facts from executables (.exe, .com, .bat, .ps1). Text based external facts (.txt) have been supported since 1.7.0. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html#executable-facts-----windows for more information. Windows IP related Facts (#12116, #16665, #16668, #21518) Facter on Windows used to gather IP related facts using `netsh`, which did not work reliably on 2003, due to a dependency on the Routing and Remote Access service, nor did it work on non EN_US systems. Version 1.7.3 has been updated to use WMI, which resolves these issues. It also adds the `ipaddress6` fact on systems where this is available. Fedora 19 (#21762) Facter packages are now available for Fedora 19. * 12116: Windows domain and fqdn facts error when there is no domain. * 16665: [windows] wrong ipaddress with locale != en * 16668: [windows] ipaddress fact reports hostname * 20989: Facter 1.7.1 on 32 bit windows reports architecture fact as "i1586", should be "x86" * 21518: "interface" fact not available on windows 2003 * 21533: Facter prints errors to stderr on precise and f18 * 21762: Update facter to support F19 * 22064: Potential Local Escalation issue with Facts.d folder for executable facts on Windows * 22077: External Facts Support On Windows * 22163: Remove hardcoded hostname dependencies from facter ====================== ## Facter 1.7.3 Changelog ## ====================== Adrien Thebo (2): d85a4c1 (refactor) Simplify ipaddress fact specs 56ce53a (maint) Stub extraneous facts when testing ifconfig Clément Demonchy (1): 32fd13a ip address fact that return full ifconfig output Elias Probst (1): d49f646 (#21533) Convert network data to string before access Josh Cooper (12): 9be738f (#21533) Verify facter doesn't write to stderr 995232e Maint: Don't load facts twice during specs 0ddf001 (#16668) Use WMI to collect macaddress fact c3199c7 (#16665) Remove references to netsh 2ac6cc1 Maint: Simplify how interfaces are enumerated 9f18629 (#16668) Support IPv6 adapter binding order abf0d08 Maint: Update yardocs fb3bd3b maint: adding lib to spec path in spec helper 3ade301 (#16668) Backport WMI changes to per-interface facts c128221 Maint: Don't output "No facts loaded from" during tests 4e12130 Maint: Clear memory facts now that they are loaded earlier 5a730af (#12116) Don't break on the first interface Josh Partlow (3): 6031275 (maint) Fix mocha expectations crashing facter_spec ad902bd (maint) Rakefile loads all the libraries it can. 65577a4 (maint) Update README with a little bit of spec info.
