Facter 1.7.5 release notes
---------------------------------------------------

Facter 1.7.5 is a bug fix release in the 1.7 series. It fixes two issues
with the packaged installer on OS X 10.9 and adds support for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.

*Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7*

Facter now supports RHEL 7, although it is currently limited to x86_64.

*Support for OS X 10.9*

Facter DMG packages on OSX will attempt to load Facter from rbenv PATH and
fail

The Facter DMG package on OSX was identifying the path to ruby with
/usr/bin/env ruby, which would cause it to load Facter from the wrong path
if rbenv was installed. The package now uses /usr/bin/ruby.

FACT-182 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-182>: Facter Does not
run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Previously, Facter would not run on OS X 10.9 when installed from the
pre-built package, although installing through RubyGems would still work.
Now, it runs properly either way.

*Miscellaneous Fixes*

FACT-82 <https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-82>: Force ASCII-8BIT
encoding on raw data in property lists

Facter now forces ASCII-8BIT encoding when reading from property lists
whenever possible, which allows it to read strings encoded in binary
plists. This fix primarily affects OS X Mavericks.
