2014-01-03 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

Removed:
- Puppet 0.24 support.
- Filebucket backup of all file resources except the target concatenated file.
- Default owner/user/group values.
- Purging of long unused /usr/local/bin/concatfragments.sh

Features:
- Windows support via a ruby version of the concat bash script.
- Huge amount of acceptance testing work added.
- Documentation (README) completely rewritten.
- New parameters in concat:
 - `ensure`: Controls if the file should be present/absent at all.
- Remove requirement to include concat::setup in manifests.
- Made `gnu` parameter deprecated.
- Added parameter validation.

Bugfixes:
- Ensure concat::setup runs before concat::fragment in all cases.
- Pluginsync references updated for modern Puppet.
- Fix incorrect group parameter.
- Use $owner instead of $id to avoid confusion with $::id
- Compatibility fixes for Puppet 2.7/ruby 1.8.7
- Use LC_ALL=C instead of LANG=C
- Always exec the concatfragments script as root when running as root.
- Syntax and other cleanup changes.

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.

             - make the location of sort configurable

             - Use file{} to copy the result and make all fragments owned

               resulting file at any time.
