0.7.0 (unreleased)

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES

Requires Vagrant 1.7.2 or later.
Because of the upgrade to Vagrant 1.7.2, we were forced to change the locations/names of the Puppet manifests and modules directories on the target machines. See the "BREAKING CHANGES" section in the Vagrant Changelog for 1.7.2. Vagrant 1.7.2+ adds MD5-hash based suffixes to the manifests and modules directories, which broke our assumption on where to find these directories on the target machines (so we actually belong to the "minor number of people" who are affected by this change in Vagrant). The new directories look like: modules-8048a9ab32fda4a984b584e79dfe8cb7. Thankfully, in the current Vagrant implementation these suffixes are identical across deployments in our case, so the current fix simply renames the respective directory locations.
We use Java 7 by default.

IMPROVEMENTS

Deploy the Avro schema registry of Confluent Platform on kafka1 (first Kafka broker).
Update puppet_wirbelsturm-common to 1.0.5, which by default installs netcat on each machine.
Update puppet-storm to 1.0.14.
Update puppet-zookeeper to 1.0.8, which e.g. fixes ZK quorum deployments.

Read /etc/environment to make FACTER_* env vars available on reboot. This makes clusters work properly upon instance reboots on AWS. (thanks stevencdavis) [GH-20]
