Chef Release Announcements

We are delighted to announce the availability of version 1.6.1245 of Chef Habitat.

Improvements

  • The hab pkg export tar command has two new flags that give you more control over what gets included in the exported tar file:

    • The --no-hab-bin option excludes the /hab/bin (or C:\hab\bin on Windows) directory from the exported tar file.
    • The --no-hab-sup option excludes the core/hab-sup (Supervisor) and core/hab-launcher packages.

  • We updated the embedded PowerShell runtime used to execute Habitat Supervisor hooks on Windows platforms to version 7.2.24.

  • We updated the windows-service package so it uses version 8 of the .NET runtime.

Bug Fixes

  • We added retry logic to the hab pkg install command to prevent ACCESS DENIED errors on Windows when antivirus software scans new packages.

  • We fixed a bug in hab pkg uninstall where the dependencies of a "skipped" package currently running under a supervisor could be uninstalled thereby breaking that running service if it is restarted. All dependencies of any running service will not be uninstalled.
