We are delighted to announce release 1.7.39 of Chef Automate. The release is available for download from [https://downloads.chef.io/automate](https://downloads.chef.io/automate).

## **Updates**

**Removed Legacy Search Bar**  
The original search bar under the Nodes tab has been accessible via the `legacy` feature flag since release of Chef Automate 1.6.87 in August. With this release the legacy search bar has been removed from the product.

## **Resolved Issues**

- Corrected an issue in the beta compliance scan job setup that prevented nodes from being added via the UI
- Improved performance and stability of the compliance trend graph when working with larger data sets
- Removed remnants of unused `census` phone home component; backup jobs using the `--no-census` flag will now return an info-level warning as the flag is no longer required
- Fixed an issue where the 30 day trial license for cloud marketplace images was not being verified correctly
- Security Fix: Removed RabbitMQ ‘guest’ user. This change resolves a vulnerability that allowed remote access to the RabbitMQ data due to a system account with a weak default password.

We encourage you to upgrade often. As always, we welcome your feedback and invite you to contact us directly or share your [feedback online](https://feedback.chef.io/). Thanks for using Chef Automate!
