this one is thoroughly tested by me.
Changes since 1.5:
- Enabled a number of Windows facts - operating system, domain,
ipaddress, macaddress, kernel, ipconfig and others.
- macaddress now set on Ubuntu.
- CONFIG['bindir'] CONFIG['sbindir'] have undesirable defaults on.
- Allow specification of --bindir --sbindir --sitelibdir --mandir.
- Package creation scripts for Mac OS X.
- Solaris. (Whatever was done here, it's written like that in the ChangeLog.)
- Add module level tests for Facter::IPAddress.
- Add sample test and strawman solution for IP parsing code.
- Adding better SuSE detection for both operatingsystem and release.
- Adding a rake task for creating an archive.
- macaddress not set on Ubuntu.
- Modified the operatingsystem fact for Debian so it looks in
/etc/debian_version instead of /proc/version.
- Added virtual fact.
- Added kernelversion fact.
- Facter now defaults to 0 timeout.
- CentOS version detection is now better.
- Set the timeout the host-based and resolve-based resolutions to 2.
- Added a Process.waitall thread when there's a timeout, to avoid zombies.
- Update to dmidecode fact.
- Added operatingsystemrelease for Solaris.
- Updated virtual fact for xenu and xen0.
- Removed facter from PREREQS.

1.5:
Fixed #1400 - OperatingSystemRelease should now work on CentOS
Changed 'timeout' option to 'limit' to avoid scope issue
Fixes #1376 - Display memory facts for AIX
Fixes #1334 - Forced Facter to use LANG=C
Fixes #1357 - Change ps syntax for OSX and BSD
Set the timeout on the AIX kernelrelease fact to 5 seconds.
Refactored so each fact resolution can specify a separate timeout,
but the default is still 0.5.
Refactered ipmess.rb and util/ip.rb to support separate *BSD logic for
*BSD aliased interfaces.
Updated dmidecode facts fixing ticket #60
Added AIX support for some facts
Add lsbmajdistrelease fact for CentOS and Red Hat
Updated Red Hat spec file for new version
The 'facter' executable now has an option (-p|--puppet) for loading the
Puppet libraries, which gives it access to Puppet's facts.
Added autoloading to Facter with a default of not loading all facts,
which results in a significant speedup when only one fact is sought.
Facts are autoloaded in either a single file named after the fact or
in any file in a directory named after the fact.
Significantly refactored Facter's internals, including creating tests
for all internal classes.
A netmask fact has been added closing ticket #46. It only returns the
netmask of the primary interface (in the same behaviour as the ipaddress
and macaddress facts).
Facts to return multiple interfaces on a host have also been updated.
If you have multiple interfaces on Linux, *BSD, or Solaris/SunOS you will
now get facts for each interface's IP address, MAC address and netmask.
The facts will be structured like:
ipaddress_int = 10.0.0.x
macaddress_int = xx:xx:xx:xx
netmask_int = 255.255.255.0
Facter now identifies Ubuntu hosts and their releases using the
operatingsystem and operatingsystemrelease facts.
The Debian operatingsystemrelease fact now correctly returns the current
Debian release.
Fixed ticket #48 - ioperatingsystem and operatingsystemrelease for CentOS
Fixed ticket #44 and allowed support for Xen multiple interfaces and aliased
interfaces. Supports both Linux and *BSD.
Added interfaces fact to add as index for ip/MAC address facts
Added Mandrake support for operatingsystem fact - closed ticket #47
Fixed ticket #45
Added netmask.rb closing ticket #46
