Hey Everyone,
Just in time for the end of the week we have a patch release for Chef 14.12 that includes a fix for a regression causing windows_service resources to fail with a method missing error. While we were at it we backported a few other handy fixes from Chef 15 that you may enjoy:
- Prevent data bag corruption when encrypting a previously unencrypted data bags
- Fix an error when using node attribute whitelisting or blacklisting with default/override level attributes
- Update InSpec to 3.9.3 to include several resource bugfixes
- Add a placeholder --chef-license flag to all command lines for forward compatibility with Chef 15+
- Improve the error message when the CLI specific config file can't be found
- Improve the Chef-Solo command line option descriptions to match those in chef-client
Get the Build
As always, you can download binaries directly from downloads.chef.io or by using the mixlib-install command line utility:
$ mixlib-install download chef -v 14.12.9
Alternatively, you can install Chef using one of the following command options:
# In Shell
