Ohai Chefs!
We’re happy to announce the release of Chef v13.5!
Release Highlights
Mount’s password property is now marked as sensitive
This means that passwords passed to mount won’t show up in logs.
The windows_task resource now correctly handles start_day
Previously, the resource would accept any date that was formatted
correctly in the local locale, unlike the Windows cookbook and Windows
itself. We now only support the MM/DD/YYYY format, in common with the
Windows cookbook.
InSpec updated to 1.39.1
Ohai 13.5 Release Notes:
Correctly detect IPv6 routes ending in ::
Previously we would ignore routes that ended ::, and now we properly
detect them.
Plugin run time is now measured
Debug logs will show the length of time each plugin takes to run, making
debugging of long ohai runs easier.
Please see the CHANGELOG for the complete list of changes.
