1.2.1

Purge resource now passes on it's metaparameters (notify, before...etc) to the resources it purges. Note due to PUP-1963 this will not have an effect in Puppet < 4.3
Purge now supports two new attributes, state and manage_property. state can be used to define a state other than absent for a resource, for example, to unmount mounts instead of deleting them from the config. You can now use purge to set any desired state of a resource by combining manage_property with state to manage other properties. See the README for more details.
Purge puppet class added to enable auto generation of purge resources from Hiera data

Purge will now use the .should=() method of the types property to change the state, This means that user defined values will be passed through the types property validation. For example if you try and set a state for a resource that it doesnt support, Puppet will correctly error;

Puppet::Error: Invalid value :obliterated. Valid values are present, absent, role.

The purge resource itself now signals a changed state when it purges resources, rather than remaining silent and unchanged. This is useful output to make it obvious that purge has altered resources

Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Purge[user]/ensure: ensure changed 'purgable' to 'purged'
