-
-    Fixed #1488 - Moved individual functions out of functions.rb into

-

-
-    Fixed #1502 - Fixed poor stored configuration performance
-
-    Fixed #1510 - Storeconfiguration fixed for Rails 2.1
-

-
-    A working script to create an OS X pkg out of the Puppet repository
-
-    Fixed #1441 - Updated console colours
-
-    Expose all puppet variables as instance member variables of the template wrapper.
-    This helps resolve redmine #1427, by providing a safe mechanism to access variables.
-
-     * Implement Puppet::Parser::Scope#to_hash, which returns a hash containing all the
-       variable bindings in the current and, optionally, parent scope.
-     * Use that to set instance member variables into Puppet::Parser::Templatewrapper
-     * Report the time taken for variable binding at debug level, to help identify any
-       performance regression that is encountered in the real world.
-     * Rename the @scope and @file members of the template wrapper, to avoid clashing
-       with a scope variable exposed within puppet.
-
-    Ensure that we consistently use either string #{} interpolation or String.%
-    interpolation, not both, to avoid issues where a #{} interpolated value
-    contains a % character.
-
-    Feature #1476: Allow specification of --bindir --sbindir --sitelibdir --mandir --destdir
-    in installation
-
-    Added feature #1241 : Improve performance of group lookups
-
-    Fixed bug #1448: Puppet CA incorrectly writes out all certs to inventory .txt on each
-    certificate signing
-
-    Fixing puppetlast to make it work with 0.24.5 / 0.25.  Made puppetlast work on 0.24.5
-    by using the YAML indirector
-
-0.24.5
-    You can now select the encoding format when transferring the catalog,
-    with 'yaml' still being the default but 'marshal' being an option.
-    This is because testing has shown drastic performance differences
-    between the two, with up to 70% of compile time being spent
-    in YAML code.  Use the 'catalog_format' setting to choose your format,
-    and the setting must be set on the client.
-
-    Fixed #1431 - Provider confines must now specify similar tests in one call.
-    I.e., you can't do confine :operatingsystem => %w{a b} and then
-    confine :operatingsystem => %w{b c}; you'd need to do them in one command.
-    This now-obsolete behaviour does not seem to be used anywhere.
-    The fix for #1431 is actually just removing the tests that exposed
-    this change; the change happened when I refactored how confines work.
-
-    Removed faulty interface type
-
-    Updated /spec/unit/rails.rb test
-
-    Fix #1426 - services on redhat are restarted again and status is
-    called from the Red Hat provider
-
-    Fixed #1414 - Return code from waitpid now right shifted 8 bits
-
-    Fixed #174 - a native type type for managing ssh authorized_keys
-    files is available.
-
-    Further moves from the examples directory and ext directory
-
-    Fixed #1397 One line fix, fail instead of log
-
-    Moved debian to conf and updated examples directory
-
-    Fixed #1368 - updated Red Hat init scripts
-
-    Added message referencing ReductiveLabs build library
-
-    Fixed #1396 - Added sha1 function from DavidS to core
-
-    Fixed #1399 - the ldap user provider now knows it can manage
-    passwords.
-
-    Fixed #1272 - if you provide a group name as the gid to an ldap
-    user, the name will be converted to a gid.  Note that this only
-    looks up ldap groups, at this point; if you want to set an ldap
-    user's primary group to a local group, you have to specify the GID.
-
-    Fixed #1226 - gems can now specify source repositories.
-
-    Fixed #1232 - the rundir no longer specifies a user/group,
-    and there are now client- and server-specific yaml directories.
-
-    Fixed 1240 - puppet will function more like puppetd if graphing
-    or reporting are enabled.
-
-    Fixed #1231 - Exceptions during initialization should now be clearer.
-
-    Fixed #1006 - puppetrun --class works again.  I added the class
-    membership testing to the Ldap node terminus, and added tests,
-    so it shouldn't break again.
-
-    Fixed #1114 - Facts in plugin directories should now be autoloaded,
-    as long as you're using Facter 1.5.
-
-    Removed support for the 'node_name' setting in LDAP and external node lookups.
-    Fixed #1195 - Updated Gentoo init scripts
-
-    Fixed #1367 - Updated Rakefile for new daily builds
-
-    Fixed #1370 - removed test/util/loadedfile.rb tests
-
-    Fixed #1221 - aliases to titles now work for resources.
-
-    Fixed #1012 - templates in the templatedir are preferred to module templates.
-
-    Fixed #707 - special '@reboot'-style cron jobs work again.
-
-    Fixed #1360 - allowdupe works on groups again.
-
-    Fixed #1369 - the init service provider now supports HP-UX.
-
-    Removed support for the 'node_name' setting in LDAP and external node
-    lookups.
-
-    Also removed support for 'default' nodes in external nodes.
-    LDAP nodes now use the certificate name, the short name, and 'default',
-    but external nodes just use the certificate name and any custom terminus
-    types will use just the certificate name.
-
-    Fixing #1168 (for 0.24.x) -- automatically downcasing the fqdn.
-    Also requiring that passed in certnames be downcased; the setting
-    system isn't currently flexible enough to automatically downcase
-    it for the user.
-
-    Adding a ResourceTemplate class for using templates directly
-    within resources (i.e., client-side templates).  This would really
-    only be used for composite resources that pass the results of the
-    template on to generated resources.
-
-    Exporting or collecting resources no longer raises an exception
-    when no storeconfigs is enabled, it just produces a warning.
-
-    Always using the cert name to store yaml files, which fixes #1178.
-    The Master handler previously provided the support for the :node_name
-    setting, and that functionality has now been moved into the Node
-    class.  At the same time, the names to search through have been
-    changed somewhat:  Previously, the certificate name and the
-    hostname were both used for searching, but now, the cert name
-    is always searched first (unless node_name == facter), but only
-    the Facter hostname, domain, and fqdn are used otherwise.  We no
-    longer split the cert name, only the hostname/domain/fqdn.
-
-    Fixing transaction support for prefetching generated resources.
-
-    Adding support for settings within the existing Facter provider confines.
-
-    Moving all confine code out of the Provider class, and fixing #1197.
-    Created a Confiner module for the Provider class methods, enhanced
-    the interface between it and the Confine class to make sure binary
-    paths are searched for fresh each time.
-
-    Modified the 'factpath' setting to automatically configure
-    Facter to load facts there if a new enough version of
-    Facter is used.
-
-    Crontab provider: fix a parse error when a line begins with a space
-    character (fixes #1216)
-
-    Instead of deleting the init scripts (with --del) we should simply
-    disable it with chkconfig service off, and respectfully do the same
-    for enable => true;
-
-    Added ldap providers for users and groups.
-
-    Added support for the --all option to puppetca --clean.  If
-    puppetca --clean --all is issued then all client certificates
-    are removed.
-
-    Resources now return the 'should' value for properties from
-    the [] accessor method (they previously threw an exception when
-    this method was used with properties).  This shouldn't have any
-    affect functionally; it just makes the method equivalent to 'should'
-    for properties, but it works for all attribute types now.
-
-    Modified the 'master' handler to use the Catalog class to
-    compile node configurations, rather than using the Configuration
-    handler, which was never used directly.  I removed the Configuration
-    handler as a result.
-
-    Modified the 'master' handler (responsible for sending configurations
-    to clients) to always return Time.now as its compile date, so
-    configurations will always get recompiled.
-
-    Fixed #1184 -- definitions now autoload correctly all of the time.
-
-    Removed the code from the client that tries to avoid recompiling
-    the catalog. The client will now always recompile, assuming it
-    can reach the server.  It will still use the cached config if
-    there's a failure.
-
-    Fixing #1173 -- classes and definitions can now have the same
-    name as a directory with no failures.
-
-    Saving new facts now expires any cached node information.
-
-    Switching how caching is handled, so that objects now all
-    have an expiration date associated with them.  This makes it
-    much easier to know whether a given cached object should be used
-    or if it should be regenerated.
-
-    Changing the default environment to production.
-
-0.24.4
-    Pass source to pkg_add via the PKG_PATH environment variable if
-    it ends in a '/' indicating it is a directory. Allows pkg_add
-    to resolve dependancies, and make it possible to specify packages
-    without version numbers.
-
-    Fixing #571 -- provider suitability is now checked at resource
-    evaluation time, rather than resource instantiation time.  This
-    means that you don't catch your "errors" as early, but it also
-    means you should be able to realistically configure a whole host
-    in one run.
-
-    Moved the configuration of the Node cache to the puppetmasterd
-    executable, since it otherwise causes caches to be used in all
-    cases, which we don't want (e.g., bin/puppet was using them).
-
-    Ported #198 man page creation functionality to 0.24.x branch and
-    added man pages and man page creation logic to install.rb.  The
-    man pages are stored in man/man8 and will install to config::CONFIG
-    mandir/man8.
-
-    Fixing #1138 -- the yamldir is automatically created by the
-    server now that it's in the :puppetmasterd section rather than
-    a separate :yaml section.
-
-    Disabling http keep-alive as a means of preventing #1010.
-    There is now a constant in Puppet::Network::HttpPool that will
-    disable or enable this feature, but note that we determined
-    that it can cause corruption, especially in file serving (but
-    it's client-side corruption).
-
-    Applying patch by Ryan McBride to fix OpenBSD package
-    matching.  The actual problem was caused by the fix to #1001.
-
-    Found all instances of methods where split() is used without
-    any local variables and added a local variable -- see
-    http://snurl.com/21zf8.  My own testing showed that this
-    caused memory growth to level off at a reasonable level.
-    Note that the link above says the problem is only with class
-    methods, but my own testing showed that it's any method that
-    meets these criteria.  This is not a functional change, but
-    should hopefully be the last nail in the coffin of #1131.
-
-    Found an array that leaked pretty quickly between reparsing
-    files, thanks to work by Adam Jacob and Arjuna Christenson
-    (the finding, not the leak).  I'm going to act like this
-    fixes #1131, at least for now, but I doubt it does,
-    since that shows general memory growth over time, whereas
-    the leak here should go away as soon as files are reparsed
-    (because the parser is holding the reference to the leaking
-    array).
-
-    Fixed #1147: Cached nodes are correctly considered out of
-    date if the node facts have been updated (thus causing
-    node facts to again be available in manifests, for those
-    cases where they were not).
-
-    Fixed #1137: The certificate name is correctly being added
-    to the facts hash.
-
-    Fixed #1136: Verbose and Debug no longer clobber each other.
-
-    Hopefully *finally* fixed the "already being managed" problem
-    (#1036).  The problem only cropped up if there was a failure
-    when trying to manage the system -- this would cause the
-    setting-based resources not to get cleaned up.
-
-0.24.3
-    Modified the ldap node terminus to also use the facts version
-    as the version for a node, which should similarly encourage the
-    use of the yaml cache.  (Related to #1130)
-
-    Caching node information in yaml (I figured caching in memory will
-    cause ever-larger memory growth), and changing the external node
-    terminus to use the version of the facts as their version.  This
-    will usually result in the cached node information being used,
-    instead of always hitting the external node app during file
-    serving. Note that if the facts aren't changed by the client,
-    then this will result in the cached node being used, but at this
-    point, the client always updates its facts.  (#1130)
-
-    Fixing #1132 -- host names can now have dashes anywhere.
-    (Patch by freiheit.)
-
-    Fixing #1118 -- downloading plugins and facts now ignores noop.
-    Note that this changes the behaviour a bit -- the resource's
-    noop setting always beats the global setting (previously,
-    whichever was true would win).
-
-    The change in checksums from 'timestamp' to 'mtime' no longer
-    result in updates on every run (#1116).
-
-    Aliases again work in relationships (#1094).
-
-    The CA serial file will no longer ever be owned by
-    root (#1041).
-
-    Fixing the rest of #1113: External node commands can specify
-    an environment and Puppet will now use it.
-
-    Partially fixing #1113: LDAP nodes now support environments,
-    and the schema has been updated accordingly.
-
-    Always duplicating resource defaults in the parser, so that
-    stacked metaparameter values do not result in all resources
-    that receive a given default also getting those stacked
-    values.
-
-0.24.2
-    Fixing #1062 by moving the yamldir setting to its own yaml
-    section.  This should keep the yamldir from being created
-    on clients.
-
-    Fixed #1047 -- Puppet's parser no longer changes the order
-    in which statements are evaluated, which means that case
-    statements can now set variables that are used by other
-    variables.
-
-    Fixed #1063 -- the master correctly logs syntax errors when
-    reparsing during a single run.
-
-    Removed the loglevels from the valid values for `logoutput`
-    in the Exec resource type -- the log levels are specified
-    using the `loglevel` parameter, not `logoutput`.  This never
-    worked, or at least hasn`t for ages, and now the docs are
-    just correct.
-
-    Somewhat refactored fileserving so that it no longer caches
-    any objects, nor does it use Puppet's RAL resources.  In the
-    process, I fixed #894 (you can now copy links) and refactored
-    other classes as necessary.  Mostly it was fixing tests.
-
-    Hopefully partially fixed #1010 -- clients should now fail
-    to install files whose checksums do not match the checksum
-    from the server.
-
-    Fixed #1018 -- resources now have their namevars added as
-    aliases in the resource catalog, just like they were added
-    in the resource classes.
-
-    Fixed #1037 -- remote unreadable files no longer have the
-    permission denied exceptions caught, thus forbidding them
-    from being replaced with 'nil'.
-
-    The environment is now available as a variable in the manifests.
-
-    Fixed #1043 -- autoloading now searches the plugins directory
-    in each module, in addition to the lib directory.  The 'lib'
-    directory is also deprecated, but supported for now to give
-    people a chance to convert.
-
-    Fixed #1003 -- Applying DavidS's patch to fix searching for
-    tags in sql.
-
-    Fixed #992 -- Puppet is now compatible with gems 1.0.1.
-
-    Fixed #968 again, this time with tests -- parseonly works,
-    including not compiling the configurations, and also storeconfigs
-    is no longer required during parse-testing.
-
-    Fixed #1021 -- the problem was that my method of determining
-    the in-degree sometimes resulted in a lower number than the
-    number of in-edges.
-
-    Fixed #997 -- virtual defined types are no longer evaluated.
-    NOTE: This introduces a behaviour change, in that you previously
-    could realize a resource within a virtual defined resource, and now
-    you must realize the entire defined resource, rather than just
-    the contained resource.
-
-    Fixed #1030 - class and definition evaluation has been significantly
-    refactored, fixing this problem and making the whole interplay
-    between the classes, definitions, and nodes, and the Compile class much
-    cleaner.
-
-    Exec resources must now have unique names, although the commands can still
-    be duplicated.  This is easily accomplished by just specifying a unique
-    name with whatever (unique or otherwise) command you need.
-
-    Fixed #989 -- missing CRL files are correctly ignored, and the
-    value should be set to 'false' to explicitly not look for these
-    files.
-
-    Fixed #1017 -- environment-specific modulepath is no longer ignored.
-
-    Fixing #794 -- consolidating the gentoo configuration files.
-
-    Fixing #976 -- both the full name of qualified classes and
-    the class parts are now added as tags.  I've also
-    created a Tagging module that we should push throughout
-    the rest of the system that uses tags.
-
-    Fixing #995 -- puppetd no longer dies at startup if the server
-    is not running.
-
-    Fixing #977 -- the rundir is again set to 1777.
-
-    Fixed #971 -- classes can once again be included multiple
-    times.
-
-    Added builtin support for Nagios types using
-    Naginator to parse and generate the files.
-
-0.24.1
-    Updated vim filetype detection. (#900 and #963)
-
-    Default resources like schedules no longer conflict with
-    managed resources. (#965)
-
-    Removing the ability to disable http keep-alive, since
-    it didn't really work anyway and it should no longer
-    be necessary.
-
-    Refactored http keep-alive so it actually works again.
-    This should be sufficient enough that we no longer need the
-    ability to disable keep-alive.  There is now a central
-    module responsible for managing HTTP instances, along with
-    all certificates in those instances.
-
-    Fixed a backward compatibility issue when running 0.23.x
-    clients against 0.24.0 servers -- relationships would
-    consistently not work. (#967)
-
-    Closing existing http connections when opening a new one,
-    and closing all connections after each run. (#961)
-
-    Removed warning about deprecated explicit plugins mounts.
-
-0.24.0 (misspiggy)
-    Modifying the behaviour of the certdnsnames setting.  It now defaults
-    to an empty string, and will only be used if it is set to something
-    else.  If it is set, then the host's FQDN will also be added as
-    an alias.  The default behaviour is now to add 'puppet' and
-    'puppet.$domain' as DNS aliases when the name for the cert being
-    signed is equal to the signing machine's name, which will only
-    be the case for CA servers.  This should result in servers always
-    having the alias set up and no one else, but you can still override
-    the aliases if you want.
-
-    External node support now requires that you set the 'node_terminus'
-    setting to 'exec'.  See the IndirectionReference on the wiki for more
-    information.
-
-    http_enable_post_connection_check added as a configuration
-    option for puppetd.  This defaults to true, which validates the server
-    SSL certificate against the requested host name in new versions of ruby.
-    See #896 for more information.
-
-    Mounts no longer remount swap filesystems.
-
-    Slightly modifying how services manage their list of paths
-    (and adding documention for it).  Services now default
-    to the paths specified by the provider classes.
-
-    Removed 'type' as a valid attribute for services, since it's been
-    deprecated since the creation of providers.
-
-    Removed 'running' as a valid attribute for services, since it's
-    been deprecated since February 2006.
-
-    Added modified patch by Matt Palmer which adds a 'plugins' mount,
-    fixing #891.  See PluginsInModules on the wiki for information on
-    usage.
-
-    Empty dbserver and dbpassword settings will now be ignored when
-    initializing Rails connections (patch by womble).
-
-    Configuration settings can now be blank (patch by womble).
-
-    Added calls to endpwent/endgrent when searching for user and group IDs,
-    which fixes #791.
-
-    Obviated 'target' in interfaces, as all file paths were automatically
-    calculated anyway.  The parameter is still there, but it's
-    not used and just generates a warning.
-
-    Fixing some of the problems with interface management on Red Hat.
-    Puppet now uses the :netmask property and does not try to set
-    the bootproto (#762).
-
-    You now must specify an environment and you are required to specify
-    the valid environments for your site. (#911)
-
-    Certificates now always specify a subjectAltName, but it defaults
-    to '*', meaning that it doesn't require DNS names to match.  You
-    can override that behaviour by specifying a value for
-    'certdnsnames', which will then require that hostname as a match (#896).
-
-    Relationship metaparams (:notify, :require, :subscribe, and
-    :before) now stack when they are collecting metaparam values
-    from their containers (#446).  For instance, if a resource
-    inside a definition has a value set for 'require', and you call
-    the definition with 'require', the resource gets both requires,
-    where before it would only retain its initial value.
-
-    Changed the behavior of --debug to include Mongrel client
-    debugging information.  Mongrel output will be written to
-    the terminal only, not to the puppet debug log.  This should
-    help anyone working with reverse HTTP SSL proxies. (#905)
-
-    Fixed #800 -- invalid configurations are no longer
-    cached.  This was done partially by adding a relationship
-    validation step once the entire configuration is created,
-    but it also required the previously-mentioned changes
-    to how the configuration retrieval process works.
-
-    Removed some functionality from the Master client,
-    since the local functionality has been replaced
-    with the Indirector already, and rearranging how configuration
-    retrieval is done to fix ordering and caching bugs.
-
-    The node scope is now above all other scopes besides
-    the 'main' scope, which should help make its variables
-    visible to other classes, assuming those classes were
-    not included in the node's parent.
-
-    Replaced GRATR::Digraph with Puppet::SimpleGraph as
-    the base class for Puppet's graphing.  Functionality
-    should be equivalent but with dramatically better
-    performance.
-
-    The --use-nodes and --no-nodes options are now obsolete.
-    Puppet automatically detects when nodes are defined, and if
-    they are defined it will require that a node be found,
-    else it will not look for a node nor will it fail if it
-    fails to find one.
-
-    Fixed #832. Added the '--no-daemonize' option to puppetd and
-    puppetmasterd.  NOTE: The default behavior of 'verbose' and
-    'debug' no longer cause puppetd and puppetmasterd to not
-    daemonize.
-
-    Added k5login type. (#759)
-
-    Fixed CA race condition. (#693)
-
-    Added shortname support to config.rb and refactored addargs
-
-0.23.2
-    Fixed the problem in cron jobs where environment settings
-    tended to multiple. (#749)
-
-    Collection of resources now correctly only collects exported
-    resources again.  This was broken in 0.23.0. (#731)
-
-    'gen_config' now generates a configuration with
-    all parameters under a heading that matches the
-    process name, rather than keeping section headings.
-
-    Refactored how the parser and interpreter relate,
-    so parsing is now effectively an atomic process (thus
-    fixing #314 and #729).  This makes the interpreter less
-    prone to error and less prone to show the error to the
-    clients.  Note that this means that if a configuration
-    fails to parse, then the previous, parseable configuration
-    will be used instead, so the client will not know that
-    the configuration failed to parse.
-
-    Added support for managing interfaces, thanks to work
-    by Paul Rose.
-
-    Fixed #652, thanks to a patch by emerose; --fqdn again
-    works with puppetd.
-
-    Added an extra check to the Mongrel support so that
-    Apache can be used with optional cert checking, instead
-    of mandatory, thus allowing Mongrel to function as the CA.
-    This is thanks to work done by Marcin Owsiany.
-
-0.23.1 (beaker)
-    You can now specify relationships to classes, which work
-    exactly like relationships to defined types:
-        require => Class[myclass]
-    This works with qualified classes, too.
-
-    You can now do simple queries in a collection of
-    exported resources.  You still cannot do multi-condition queries,
-    though. (#703)
-
-    puppetca now exits with a non-zero code if it cannot
-    find any host certificates to clean. (Patch by Dean
-    Wilson.)
-
-    Fully-qualified resources can now have defaults. (#589)
-
-    Resource references can now be fully-qualified names,
-    meaning you can list definitions with a namespace as
-    dependencies.  (#468)
-
-    Files modified using a FileType instance, as ParsedFile
-    does, will now automatically get backed up to the filebucket
-    named "puppet".
-
-    Added a 'maillist' type for managing mailing lists.
-
-    Added a 'mailalias' type for managing mail aliases.
-
-    Added patch by Valentin Vidic that adds the '+>' syntax to
-    resources, so parameter values can be added to.
-
-    The configuration client now pulls libraries down to $libdir,
-    and all autoloading is done from there with full support
-    for any reloadable file, such as types and providers. (#621)
-    Note that this is not backward compatible -- if you're using
-    pluginsync right now, you'll need to disable it on your clients
-    until you can upgrade them.
-
-    The Rails log level can now be set via (shockingly!) the
-    'rails_loglevel' parameter (#710).  Note that this isn't
-    exactly the feature asked for, but I could not find a
-    way to directly copy ActiveRecord's concept of an environment.
-
-    External node sources can now return undefined classes (#687).
-
-    Puppet clients now have http proxy support (#701).
-
-    The parser now throws an error when a resource reference
-    is created for an unknown type.  Also, resource references
-    look up defined types and translate their type accordingly. (#706)
-
-    Hostnames can now be double quoted.
-
-    Adding module autoloading (#596) -- you can now 'include' classes
-    from modules without ever needing to specifically load them.
-
-    Class names and node names now conflict (#620).
-
-0.23.0
-    Modified the fileserver to cache file information, so that
-    each file isn't being read on every connection.  Also,
-    added londo's patch from #678 to avoid reading entire files
-    into memory.
-
-    Fixed environment handling in the crontab provider (#669).
-
-    Added patch by trombik in #572, supporting old-style
-    freebsd init scripts with '.sh' endings.
-
-    Added fink package provider (#642), as provided by 'do'.
-
-    Marked the dpkg package provider as versionable (#647).
-
-    Applied patches by trombik to fix FreeBSD ports (#624 and #628).
-
-    Fixed the CA server so that it refuses to send back a certificate
-    whose public key doesn't match the CSR.  Instead, it tells the
-    user to run 'puppetca --clean'.
-
-    Invalid certificates are no longer written to disk (#578).
-
-    Added a package provider (appdmg) able to install .app packages
-    on .dmg files on OS X (#641).
-
-    Applied the patch from #667 to hopefully kill the client hanging
-    problems (permanently, this time).
-
-    Fixed functions so that they accept most other rvalues as valid values
-    (#548).
-
-    COMPATIBILITY ALERT:
-    Significantly reworked external node support, in a way that's NOT
-    backward-compatible:
-
-        Only ONE node source can be used -- you can use LDAP, code, or
-        an external node program, but not more than one.
-
-        LDAP node support has two changes:  First, the "ldapattrs" attribute is
-        now used for setting the attributes to retrieve from the server (in
-        addition to required attriutes), and second, all retrieved attributes
-        are set as variables in the top scope.  This means you can set attributes
-        on your LDAP nodes and they will automatically appear as variables
-        in your configurations.
-
-        External node support has been completely rewritten.  These programs must
-        now generate a YAML dump of a hash, with "classes" and "parameters" keys.
-        The classes should be an array, and the parameters should be a hash.  The
-        external node program has no support for parent nodes -- the script must
-        handle that on its own.
-
-    Reworked the database schema used to store configurations with the
-    storeconfigs option.
-
-    Replaced the obsolete RRD ruby library with the maintained
-    RubyRRDtool library (which requires rrdtool2) (#659).
-
-    The Portage package provider now calls eix-update automatically
-    when eix's database is absent or out of sync (#666).
-
-    Mounts now correctly handle existing fstabs with no pass or dump values
-    (#550).
-
-    Mounts now default to 0 for pass and dump (#112).
-
-    Added urpmi support (#592).
-
-    Finishing up the type => provider interface work.  Basically, package
-    providers now return lists of provider instances.  In the proces,
-    I rewrote the interface between package types and providers, and also
-    enabled prefetching on all packages.  This should significantly speed
-    up most package operations.
-
-    Hopefully fixing the file descriptor/open port problems, with patches
-    from Valentin Vidic.
-
-    Significantly reworked the type => provider interface with respect to
-    listing existing provider instances.  The class method on both
-    class heirarchies has been renamed to 'instances', to start.  Providers
-    are now expected to return provider instances, instead of creating
-    resources, and the resource's 'instances' method is expected to
-    find the matching resource, if any, and set the resource's
-    provider appropriately.  This *significantly* reduces the reliance on
-    effectively global state (resource references in the resource classes).
-    This global state will go away soon.
-
-    Along with this change, the 'prefetch' class method on providers now
-    accepts the list of resources for prefetching.  This again reduces
-    reliance on global state, and makes the execution path much easier
-    to follow.
-
-    Fixed #532 -- reparsing config files now longer throws an exception.
-
-    Added some warnings and logs to the service type so
-    users will be encouraged to specify either "ensure"
-    or "enabled" and added debugging to indicate why
-    restarting is skipped when it is.
-
-    Changed the location of the classes.txt to the state
-    directory.
-
-    Added better error reporting on unmatched brackets.
-
-    Moved puppetd and puppetmasterd to sbin in svn and fixed install.rb
-    to copy them into sbin on the local system appropriately.  (#323)
-
-    Added a splay option (#501).  It's disabled when running under
-    --test in puppetd.  The value is random but cached.  It defaults
-    to the runinterval but can be tuned with --splaylimit
-
-    Changing the notify type so that it always uses
-    the loglevel.
-
-    Fixing #568 - nodes can inherit from quoted node names.
-
-    Tags (and thus definitions and classes) can now be a single
-    character. (#566)
-
-    Added an 'undef' keyword (#629), which will evaluate to ""
-    within strings but when used as a resource parameter value
-    will cause that parameter to be evaluated as undefined.
-
-    Changed the topological sort algorithm (#507) so it will always
-    fail on cycles.
-
-    Added a 'dynamicfacts' configuration option; any facts in that
-    comma-separated list will be ignored when comparing facts to
-    see if they have changed and thus whether a recompile is necessary.
-
-    Renamed some poorly named internal variables:
-        @models in providers are now either @resource or
-        @resource_type (#605).
-
-        @children is no longer used except by components (#606).
-
-        @parent is now @resource within parameters (#607).
-
-    The old variables are still set for backward compatibility.
-
-    Significantly reworking configuration parsing.  Executables all now
-    look for 'puppet.conf' (#206), although they will parse the old-style
-    configuration files if they are present, although they throw a deprecation
-    warning.  Also, file parameters (owner, mode, group) are now set on the
-    same line as the parameter, in brackets. (#422)
-
-    Added transaction summaries (available with the --summarize option),
-    useful for getting a quick idea of what happened in a transaction.
-    Currently only useful on the client or with the puppet interpreter.
-
-    Changed the interal workings for retrieve and removed the :is attribute
-    from Property.  The retrieve methods now return the current value of
-    the property for the system.
-
-    Removed acts_as_taggable from the rails models.
-
-0.22.4
-    Execs now autorequire the user they run as, as long as the user
-    is specified by name. (#430)
-
-    Files on the local machine but not on the remote server during
-    a source copy are now purged if purge => true. (#594)
-
-    Providers can now specify that some commands are optional (#585).
-    Also, the 'command' method returns nil on missing commands,
-    rather than throwing an error, so the presence of commands
-    be tested.
-
-    The 'useradd' provider for Users can now manage passwords.
-    No other providers can, at this point.
-
-    Parameters can now declare a dependency on specific
-    features, and parameters that require missing features
-    will not be instantiated.  This is most useful for
-    properties.
-
-    FileParsing classes can now use instance_eval to add
-    many methods at once to a record type.
-
-    Modules no longer return directories in the list of found
-    manifests (#588).
-
-    The crontab provider now defaults to root when there is no
-    USER set in the environment.
-
-    Puppetd once again correctly responds to HUP.
-
-    Added a syntax for referring to variables defined in
-    other classes (e.g., $puppet::server).
-
-    STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR are now redirected to /dev/null in
-    service providers descending from base.
-
-    Certificates are now valid starting one day before they are
-    created, to help handle small amounts of clock skew.
-
-    Files are no longer considered out of sync if some properties
-    are out of sync but they have no properties that can create
-    the file.
-
-0.22.3
-    Fixed backward compatibility for logs and metrics from older clients.
-
-    Fixed the location of the authconfig parameters so there aren't
-    loading order issues.
-
-    Enabling attribute validation on the providers that subclass
-    'nameservice', so we can verify that an integer is passed to
-    UID and GID.
-
-    Added a stand-alone filebucket client, named 'filebucket'.
-
-    Fixed the new nested paths for filebuckets; the entire md5 sum was
-    not being stored.
-
-    Fixing #553; -M is no longer added when home directories are being
-    managed on Red Hat.
-
-0.22.2 (grover)
-    Users can now manage their home directories, using the managehome
-    parameter, partially using patches provided by Tim Stoop and
-    Matt Palmer. (#432)
-
-    Added 'ralsh' (formerly x2puppet) to the svn tree.  When possible it
-    should be added to the packages.
-
-    The 'notify' type now defaults to its message being the same as its name.
-
-    Reopening $stdin to read from /dev/null during execution, in hopes that
-    init scripts will stop hanging.
-
-    Changed the 'servername' fact set on the server to use the server's fqdn,
-    instead of the short-name.
-
-    Changing the location of the configuration cache.  It now defaults to being
-    in the state directory, rather than in the configuration directory.
-
-    All parameter instances are stored in a single @parameters instance variable
-    hash within resource type instances.  We used to use separate hashes for
-    each parameter type.
-
-    Added the concept of provider features.  Eventually these should be able
-    to express the full range of provider functionality, but for now they can
-    test a provider to see what methods it has set and determine what features it
-    provides as a result.  These features are integrated into the doc generation
-    system so that you get feature documentation automatically.
-
-    Switched apt/aptitide to using "apt-cache policy" instead of "apt-cache showpkg"
-    for determining the latest available version. (#487)
-
-    FileBuckets now use a deeply nested structure for storing files, so
-    you do not end up with hundreds or thousands of files in the same
-    directory. (#447)
-
-    Facts are now cached in the state file, and when they change the configuration
-    is always recompiled. (#519)
-
-    Added 'ignoreimport' setting for use in commit hooks.  This causes the
-    parser to ignore import statements so a single file can be parse-checked.  (#544)
-
-    Import statements can now specify multiple comma-separated arguments.
-
-    Definitions now support both 'name' and 'title', just like any other
-    resource type. (#539)
-
-    Added a generate() command, which sets values to the result of an external
-    command. (#541)
-
-    Added a file() command to read in files with no interpolation.  The first
-    found file has its content returned.
-
-    puppetd now exits if no cert is present in onetime mode. (#533)
-
-    The client configuration cache can be safely removed and the client
-    will correctly realize the client is not in sync.
-
-    Resources can now be freely deleted, thus fixing many problems introduced
-    when deletion of required resources was forbidden when purging was introduced.
-    Only resources being purged will not be deleted.
-
-    Facts and plugins now download even in noop mode (#540).
-
-    Resources in noop mode now log when they would have responded to an event (#542).
-
-    Refactored cron support entirely.  Cron now uses providers, and there
-    is a single 'crontab' provider that handles user crontabs.  While this
-    refactor does not include providers for /etc/crontab or cron.d, it should
-    now be straightforward to write those providers.
-
-    Changed the parameter sorting so that the provider parameter comes
-    right after name, so the provider is available when the other parameters
-    and properties are being created.
-
-    Redid some of the internals of the ParsedFile provider base class.
-    It now passes a FileRecord around instead of a hash.
-
-    Fixing a bug related to link recursion that caused link directories
-    to always be considered out of sync.
-
-    The bind address for puppetmasterd can now be specified with
-    --bindaddress.
-
-    Added (probably experimental) mongrel support.  At this point you're
-    still responsible for starting each individual process, and you have to
-    set up a proxy in front of it.
-
-    Redesigned the 'network' tree to support multiple web servers, including
-    refactoring most of the structural code so it's much clearer and more
-    reusable now.
-
-    Set up the CA client to default to ca_server and ca_port, so you can
-    easily run a separate CA.
-
-    Supporting hosts with no domain name, thanks to a patch from
-    Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.
-
-    Added an 'ignorecache' option to tell puppetd to force a recompile, thanks to
-    a patch by Chris McEniry.
-
-    Made up2date the default for RHEL < 4 and yum the default for the rest.
-
-    The yum provider now supports versions.
-
-    Case statements correctly match when multiple values are provided,
-    thanks to a patch by David Schmitt.
-
-    Functions can now be called with no arguments.
-
-    String escapes parse correctly in all cases now, thanks to a patch by
-    cstorey.
-
-    Subclasses again search parent classes for defaults.
-
-    You can now purge apt and dpkg packages.
-
-    When doing file recursion, 'ensure' only affects the top-level directory.
-
-    States have been renamed to Properties.
-
-0.22.1 (kermit) -- Mostly a bugfix release
-    Compile times now persist between restarts of puppetd.
-
-    Timeouts have been added to many parts of Puppet, reducing the likelihood
-    if it hanging forever on broken scripts or servers.
-
-    All of the documentation and recipes have been moved to the wiki by Peter
-    Abrahamsen and Ben Kite has moved the FAQ to the wiki.
-
-    Explicit relationships now override automatic relationships, allowing you
-    to manually specify deletion order when removing resources.
-
-    Resources with dependencies can now be deleted as long as all of their
-    dependencies are also being deleted.
-
-    Namespaces for both classes and definitions now work much more consistently.
-    You should now be able to specify a class or definition with a namespace
-    everywhere you would normally expect to be able to specify one without.
-
-    Downcasing of facts can be selectively disabled.
-
-    Cyclic dependency graphs are now checked for and forbidden.
-
-    The netinfo mounts provider was commented out, because it really doesn't
-    work at all.  Stupid NetInfo stores mount information with the device as
-    the key, which doesn't work with my current NetInfo code.
-
-    Otherwise, lots and lots of bugfixes.  Check the tickets associated with the
-    'kermit' milestone.
-
-0.22.0
-    Integrated the GRATR graph library into Puppet, for handling resource
-    relationships.
-
-    Lots of bug-fixes (see bugs tickets associated with the 'minor' milestone).
-
-    Added new 'resources' metatype, which currently only includes the ability
-    to purge unmanaged resources.
-
-    Added better ability to generate new resource objects during transactions
-    (using 'generate' and 'eval_generate' methods).
-
-    Rewrote all Rails support with a much better database design.  Export/collect
-    now works, although the database is incompatible with previous versions.
-
-    Removed downcasing of facts and made most of the language case-insensitive.
-
-    Added support for printing the graphs built during transactions.
-
-    Reworked how paths are built for logging.
-
-    Switched all providers to directly executing commands instead of going through
-    a subshell, which removes the need to quote or escape arguments.
-
-0.20.1
-    Mostly a bug-fix release, with the most important fix being the
-    multiple-definition error.
-
-    Completely rewrote the ParsedFile system; each provider is now much
-    shorter and much more maintainable.  However, fundamental problems
-    were found with the 'port' type, so it was disabled.  Also, added
-    a NetInfo provider for 'host' and an experimental NetInfo provider
-    for 'mount'.
-
-    Made the RRDGraph report *much* better and added reference
-    generation for reports and functions.
-
-0.20.0
-    Significantly refactored the parser.  Resource overrides now consistently
-    work anywhere in a class hierarchy.
-
-    The language was also modified somewhat.  The previous export/collect syntax
-    is now used for handling virtual objects, and export/collect (which is still
-    experimental) now uses double sigils (@@ and <<| |>>).
-
-    Resource references (e.g., File["/etc/passwd"]) now have to be capitalized,
-    in fitting in with capitalizing type operations.
-
-    As usual, lots of other smaller fixes, but most of the work was in the language.
-
-0.19.3
-    Fixing a bug in server/master.rb that causes the hostname
-    not to be available in locally-executed manifests.
-
-0.19.2
-    Fixing a few smaller bugs, notably in the reports system.
-
-    Refreshed objects now generate an event, which can result in further
-    refreshes of other objects.
-
-0.19.1
-    Fixing two critical bugs:  User management works again and cron jobs are
-    no longer added to all user accounts.
-
-0.19.0
-    Added provider support.
-
-    Added support for %h, %H, and %d expansion in fileserver.conf.
-
-    Added Certificate Revocation support.
-
-    Made dynamic loading pervasive -- nearly every aspect of Puppet will now
-    automatically load new instances (e.g., types, providers, and reports).
-
-    Added support for automatic distribution of facts and plugins (custom types).
-
-0.18.4
-    Another bug-fix release.  The most import bug fixed is that
-    cronjobs again work even with initially empty crontabs.
-
-0.18.3
-    Mostly a bug-fix release; fixed small bugs in the functionality added in
-    0.18.2.

-    Added signal handler for USR1, which triggers a run on the client.
-
-    As usual, fixed many bugs.
-
-    Significant fixes to puppetrun -- it should behave much more correctly now.
-
-    Added "fail" function which throws a syntax error if it's encountered.
-
-    Added plugin downloading from the central server to the client.  It must be
-    enabled with --pluginsync.
-
-    Added support for FreeBSD's special "@daily" cron schedules.
-
-    Correctly handling spaces in file sources.
-
-    Moved documentation into svn tree.
-
-0.18.0
-    Added support for a "default" node.
-
-    When multiple nodes are specified, they must now be comma-separated (this
-    introduces a language incompatibility).
-
-    Failed dependencies cause dependent objects within the same transaction
-    not to run.
-
-    Many updates to puppetrun
-
-    Many bug fixes
-
-    Function names are no longer reserved words.
-
-    Links can now replace files.
-
-0.17.2
-    Added "puppetrun" application and associated runner server and client classes.
-
-    Fixed cron support so it better supports valid values and environment settings.

-    of a puppetmasterd process, e.g., using the PuppetShow web application.
-
-0.16.2
-    Modified some of the AST classes so that class names, definition names, and
-    node names are all set within the code being evaluated, so 'tagged(name)' returns
-    true while evaluating 'name', for instance.
-
-    Added '--clean' argument to puppetca to remove all traces of a given
-    client.
-
-0.16.1
-    Added 'tagged' and 'defined' functions.
-
-    Moved all functions to a general framework that makes it very easy to add new
-    functions.
-
-0.16.0
-    Added 'tag' keyword/function.
-
-    Added FreeBSD Ports support
-
-    Added 'pelement' server for sending or receiving Puppet objects, although
-    none of the executables use it yet.
-
-0.15.3
-    Fixed many bugs in :exec, including adding support for arrays of checks
-
-    Added autoloading for types and service variants (e.g., you can now
-    just create a new type in the appropriate location and use it in Puppet,
-    without modifying the core Puppet libs).
-
-0.15.2
-    Added darwinport, Apple .pkg, and freebsd package types

-    Fixed puppetmasterd.conf file so group settings take.
-
-0.15.0
-    Upped the minor release because the File server is incompatible with 0.14,
-        because it now handles links.
-
-    The 'symlink' type is deprecated (but still present), in favor of using
-        files with the 'target' parameter.
-
-    Unset variables no longer throw an error, they just return an empty string
-
-    You can now specify tags to restrict which objects run during a given run.
-
-    You can also specify to skip running against the cached copy when there's
-    a failure, which is useful for testing new configurations.
-
-    RPMs and Sun packages can now install, as long as they specify a package
-        location, and they'll automatically upgrade if you point them to a new
-        file with an upgrade.
-    Multiple bug fixes.
-
-
-0.14.1
-    Fixed a couple of small logging bugs
-    Fixed a bug with handling group ownership of links
-
-0.14.0
-    Added some ability to selectively manage symlinks when doing file management
-    Many bug fixes
-    Variables can now be used as the test values in case statements and selectors
-    Bumping a minor release number because 0.13.4 introduced a protocol
-        incompatibility and should have had a minor rev bump
-
-0.13.6
-    Many, many small bug fixes
-    FreeBSD user/group support has been added
-    The configuration system has been rewritten so that daemons can now generate
-        and repair the files and directories they need. (Fixed bug #68.)
-    Fixed the element override issues; now only subclasses can override values.
-
-0.13.5
-    Fixed packages so types can be specified
-    Added 'enable' state to services, although it does not work everywhere yet
-
-0.13.4
-    A few important bug fixes, mostly in the parser.
-
-0.13.3
-    Changed transactions to be one-stage instead of two
-    Changed all types to use self[:name] instead of self.name, to support
-        the symbolic naming implemented in 0.13.1
-
-0.13.2
-    Changed package[answerfile] to package[adminfile], and added package[responsefile]
-    Fixed a bunch of internal functions to behave more consistently and usefully

-    Fixed crontab reading and writing (luke)
-    Added symbolic naming in the language (luke)
-
-0.13.0
-    Added support for configuration files.
-    Even more bug fixes, including the infamous 'frozen object' bug, which was a

-    and converted many errors to use that method
-
-0.11.1
-    Fixed bug with recursive copying with 'ignore' set.
-    Added OpenBSD package support.
-
-0.11.0
-    Added 'ensure' state to many elements.
-    Modified puppetdoc to correctly handle indentation and such.
-    Significantly rewrote much of the builtin documentation to take advantage
-        of the new features in puppetdoc, including many examples.
-
-0.10.2
-    Added SMF support
-    Added autorequire functionality, with specific support for exec and file
-        Exec elements autorequire any mentioned files, including the scripts,
-        along with their CWDs.
-        Files autorequire any parent directories.
-    Added 'alias' metaparam.
-    Fixed dependencies so they don't depend on file order.

-    a non-root user.
-
-0.10.0
-    Significant refactoring of how types, states, and parameters work, including

-    easier
-
-    Also, fixed the bug with 'waitforcert' in puppetd.
-
-0.9.4
-    Small fix to wrap the StatusServer class in the checks for required classes.
