2014-01-03 - Release 1.1.0-rc1

Summary

This release of concat was 90% written by Joshua Hoblitt, and the module team would like to thank him for the huge amount of work he put into this release.

This module deprecates a bunch of old parameters and usage patterns, modernizes much of the manifest code, simplifies a whole bunch of logic and makes improvements to almost all parts of the module.

The other major feature is windows support, courtesy of luisfdez, with an alternative version of the concat bash script in ruby. We've attempted to ensure that there are no backwards incompatible changes, all users of 1.0.0 should be able to use 1.1.0 without any failures, but you may find deprecation warnings and we'll be aggressively moving for a 2.0 to remove those too.

For further information on deprecations, please read: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat/blob/master/README.md#api-deprecations

2013-08-09 - 1.0.0

Summary

Many new features and bugfixes in this release, and if you're a heavy concat user you should test carefully before upgrading. The features should all be backwards compatible but only light testing has been done from our side before this release.

Features

  • New parameters in concat:
  • replace: specify if concat should replace existing files.
  • ensure_newline: controls if fragments should contain a newline at the end.
  • Improved README documentation.
  • Add rspec:system tests (rake spec:system to test concat)

Bugfixes

  • Gracefully handle \n in a fragment resource name.
  • Adding more helpful message for 'pluginsync = true'
  • Allow passing source and content directly to file resource, rather than defining resource defaults.
  • Added -r flag to read so that filenames with \ will be read correctly.
  • sort always uses LANG=C.
  • Allow WARNMSG to contain/start with '#'.
  • Replace while-read pattern with for-do in order to support Solaris.

CHANGELOG:

  • 2010/02/19 - initial release
  • 2010/03/12 - add support for 0.24.8 and newer - make the location of sort configurable - add the ability to add shell comment based warnings to top of files - add the ablity to create empty files

This means we can chnage the ownership/group of the resulting file at any time. - You can specify ensure => "/some/other/file" in concat::fragment to include the contents of a symlink into the final file.
