We are delighted to announce the availability of version 20181212095204 of Chef Automate 2.

## New Features

- Terminated node cleanup: Terminating AWS nodes managed through the node manager integration also deletes the corresponding nodes on the client-runs page.
- Named Tokens: Create tokens with unique alphanumeric IDs, aka letters and numbers, from the API tokens page in the **Admin** tab. You don't have to do this, and if you don't name your token, we'll still generate a token automatically for you.
- Token Details: Every token has its own details page, where you can examine its details and change its name.

## Improvements

- Better Compliance Reporting: Chef Automate checks incoming compliance reports for valid node `uuid`s attached. Reports without valid node `uuid`s get rejected.
- Faster Compliance Reporting: We increased the number of threads so the service ingests more reports.

## Bug Fixes

- Deleted and stopped: Deleted scan jobs won't run in the background. Marking nodes for deletion stops the inspec-agent from running them.
- Unmarshal error: Stopped including the invalid character `-` after array elements in uploaded inherited profiles.

## Backward Incompatibilities

- Telemetry opt-out: We removed opting-out of telemetry with the API. We also fixed opting-out of telemetry with the Chef Automate config, and you can still opt out from the browser.

By default Chef Automate 2 will [automatically upgrade](https://automate.chef.io/docs/install/#upgrades) to this new version. If you have disabled automatic upgrades you can manually initiate an upgrade by running:

```auto
