Facter 2.4.4
Released May 20, 2015
Facter 2.4.4 is a bug fix release in the Facter 2.4 series. It also
deprecates the --puppet command line option, since it caused circular load
dependencies. To run Facter in Puppet’s context, you should use the puppet
facts command instead.
* FACT-96: Deprecate ‘facter –puppet’
* FACT-628: facter returns incorrect value for facter virtual for Solaris Ldoms
* FACT-697: If NetworkManager is installed but not used facter throws a warning.
* FACT-975: On PPC64LE architecture, processors aren’t detected
* FACT-963: Remove pre-suite environment setup for AIO
Facter 2.4.3
Released April 2, 2015
Facter 2.4.3 is an AIO support release in the Facter 2.4 series that also
includes two improvements to performance, and multiple bug fixes.
AIO External Facts Directory Change
Changed external facts directory from /opt/puppetlabs/agent/facts.d to
/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d on *nix. Windows is unchanged.
* FACT-826: Prepend AIO external facts directory for root
Improvements to Performance and Speed
* Reduced calls to ip link show for
performance. Facter::Util:IP.get_interface_value called
get_bonding_interface for every possible value, which could have caused
performance issues if many interfaces were being used.
* Improved the speed of puppetversion in standalone Facter. There is no
notable difference when calling Facter while Puppet is already
running. Previously, running Facter with --timing showed that puppetversion
was by far the slowest fact. This was not true when executed by Puppet, but
gave the impression that Puppet is slow.
Bugs
* FACT-893: selinux_config_policy returns “unknown” on Debian and RHEL7
* FACT-596: Fix to selinux_config_policy, always returned “unknown” on
Debian and RHEL7.
* FACT-825: Default timeout for prtdiag in the ‘virtual’ fact is too low
for large Solaris systems
* FACT-830: xendomains returning empty on debian hosts
* FACT-834: Only load ec2 rest once to avoid double loading warnings
* FACT-888: Facter does not properly detect KVM when CPU type is not
qenu32/qumu64
* FACT-894: Prepend ~/.puppetlabs/opt/facter/facts.d to external search path
for non-root
* FACT-805: use /etc/os-release on CoreOS

The TYPO3 community announces the release of TYPO3 CMS version 6.2.13
LTS, which is now ready for you to download.
This version is a maintenance release and contains bug fixes as well as
various improvements for the day-to-day administration of a TYPO3
website (Extension Manager and management of reference index).
PHP 5.6 support
- ---------------
Although the TYPO3 CMS Team aims at eventually supporting PHP 5.6 with
TYPO3 6.2 LTS, we are aware of some in-depth issues. As such, we
highly recommend to keep PHP 5.3 - 5.5 when running TYPO3 6.2 LTS for
the time being. Hopefully this should be fixed with the next release.
Image handling
- --------------
The base data used for the checksum calculation of processed files
have been changed. This should be transparent for you unless you are
having a large installation. In such case, we enjoin you to read the
details about this release (link below) and to make use of the
dedicated upgrade wizard.
Bugs Fixed
1. If the WSGI application when run under daemon mode returned response content as many small blocks, this could result in excessive memory usage in the Apache child worker process proxying the request due to many buckets being buffered until the buffer size threshold was reached. If the number of buckets reaches a builtin threshold the buffered data will now be forcibly flushed even if the size threshold hadn’t been reached.
0.9.2 2015-04-25

## 2015-06-09 Release 1.05
Mats Peterson (1):
Use GetACP() to get the ANSI code page like before
Thomas Sibley (1):
Conditionalize the Win32::Console recommendation
${PYPKGPREFIX} to avoid such an instance. Some people will run apps with
different versions of python, so we can handle that accordingly with
ALTERNATIVES. Bump PKGREVISION.
Converts OSM planet.osm data to a PostgreSQL / PostGIS database suitable
for specific applications like rendering into map tiles by Mapnik
or geocoding with Nominatim.
This is protobuf-c, a C implementation of the Google Protocol Buffers data
serialization format. It includes libprotobuf-c, a pure C library that
implements protobuf encoding and decoding, and protoc-c, a code generator that
converts Protocol Buffer .proto files to C descriptor code, based on the
original protoc.
Changelog:
2014-10-20 version 2.6.1:
C++
* Added atomicops support for Solaris.
* Released memory allocated by InitializeDefaultRepeatedFields() and
GetEmptyString(). Some memory sanitizers reported them as memory leaks.
Java
* Updated DynamicMessage.setField() to handle repeated enum values
correctly.
* Fixed a bug that caused NullPointerException to be thrown when
converting manually constructed FileDescriptorProto to
FileDescriptor.
Python
* Fixed WhichOneof() to work with de-serialized protobuf messages.
* Fixed a missing file problem of Python C++ implementation.
2014-08-15 version 2.6.0:
General
* Added oneofs(unions) feature. Fields in the same oneof will share
memory and at most one field can be set at the same time. Use the
oneof keyword to define a oneof like:
message SampleMessage {
oneof test_oneof {
string name = 4;
YourMessage sub_message = 9;
}
}
* Files, services, enums, messages, methods and enum values can be marked
as deprecated now.
* Added Support for list values, including lists of mesaages, when
parsing text-formatted protos in C++ and Java.
For example: foo: [1, 2, 3]
C++
* Enhanced customization on TestFormat printing.
* Added SwapFields() in reflection API to swap a subset of fields.
Added SetAllocatedMessage() in reflection API.
* Repeated primitive extensions are now packable. The
[packed=true] option only affects serializers. Therefore, it is
possible to switch a repeated extension field to packed format
without breaking backwards-compatibility.
* Various speed optimizations.
Java
* writeTo() method in ByteString can now write a substring to an
output stream. Added endWith() method for ByteString.
* ByteString and ByteBuffer are now supported in CodedInputStream
and CodedOutputStream.
* java_generate_equals_and_hash can now be used with the LITE_RUNTIME.
Python
* A new C++-backed extension module (aka "cpp api v2") that replaces the
old ("cpp api v1") one. Much faster than the pure Python code. This one
resolves many bugs and is recommended for general use over the
pure Python when possible.
* Descriptors now have enum_types_by_name and extension_types_by_name dict
attributes.
* Support for Python 3.
CHANGES:
3.1.9
- Many and various updates to documentation and package description (inlcuding
the homepage links).
- Add an 'Eq' instance for 'ParseError'
- Fixed a regression from 3.1.6: 'runP' is again exported from module
Text.Parsec.
3.1.8
- Fix a regression from 3.1.6 related to exports from the main module.
Version 1.4.1 - 05 May 2015
* Fix for WAL archival stop working if first backup is EMPTY
(Closes: #64)
* Fix exception during error handling in Barman recovery (Closes:
#65)
* After a backup, limit cron activity to WAL archiving only
(Closes: #62)
* Improved robustness and error reporting of the backup delete
command (Closes: #63)
* Fix computation of WAL production ratio as reported in the
show-backup command
* Improved management of xlogb file, which is now correctly fsynced
when updated. Also, the rebuild-xlogdb command now operates on a
temporary new file, which overwrites the main one when finished.
* Add unit tests for dateutil module compatibility
* Modified Barman version following PEP 440 rules and added support
of tests in Python 3.4
Version 8.10.0 [v8-stable] 2015-05-19
- imfile: add capability to process multi-line messages based on regex
input parameter "endmsg.regex" was added for that purpose. The new
mode provides much more power in processing different multiline-formats.
- pmrfc3164: add new parameters
* "detect.yearAfterTimestamp"
This supports timestamps as generated e.g. by some Aruba Networks
equipment.
* "permit.squareBracesInHostname"
Permits to use "hostnames" in the form of "[127.0.0.1]"; also seen in
Aruba Networks equipment, but we strongly assume this can also happen
in other cases, especially with IPv6.
- supplementary groups are now set when dropping privileges
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/296
Thanks to Zach Lisinski for the patch.
- imfile: added brace glob expansion to wildcard
Thanks to Zach Lisinski for the patch.
- zmq: add the ability for zeromq input and outputs to advertise their
presence on UDP via the zbeacon API.
Thanks to Brian Knox for the contribution.
- added omhttpfs: contributed module for writing to HDFS via HTTP
Thanks to sskaje for the contribution.
- Configure option "--disable-debug-symbols" added which is disabled per
default. If you set the new option, configure won't set the appropriate
compiler flag to generate debug symbols anymore.
- When building from git source we now require rst2man and yacc (or a
replacement like bison).
That isn't any new requirement, we only added missing configure checks.
- Configure option "--enable-generate-man-pages" is now disabled for non git
source builds per default but enforced when building from git source.
- mmpstrucdata: some code cleanup
removed lots of early development debug outputs
- bugfix imuxsock: fix a crash when setting a hostname
Setting a hostname via the legacy directive would lead to a crash
during shutdown caused by a double-free.
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
- bugfix: memory leak in mmpstrucdata
Thanks to Gregoire Seux for reporting this issue.
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/310
- bugfix (minor): default action name: assigned number was one off
see also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/340
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
- bugfix: memory leak in imfile
A small leak happened each time a new file was monitored based on
a wildcard. Depending on the rate of file creation, this could result
in a serious memory leak.
