Hey folks,

We have a great little release of Chef Infra Client 16.1 out today with new platform support, new Ohai plugins, and resource improvements.

## Ohai 16.1

Ohai 16.1 includes a new `Selinux` plugin which exposes `node['selinux']['status']`, `node['selinux']['policy_booleans']`, `node['selinux']['process_contexts']`, and `node['selinux']['file_contexts']`. Thanks [@davide125](http://github.com/davide125) for this contribution. This new plugin is an optional plugin which is disabled by default. It can be enabled within your `client.rb`:

```ruby
ohai.optional_plugins = [:Selinux]

```

## Chef InSpec 4.18.114

InSpec has been updated from 4.18.111 to 4.18.114. This update adds new `--reporter_message_truncation` and `--reporter_backtrace_inclusion` reporter options to truncate messages and suppress backtraces.

## Debian 10 aarch64

Chef Infra Client packages are now produced for Debian 10 on the aarch64 architecture. These packages are available at [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/chef/).

## Bug Fixes

- Resolved a regression in the `launchd` resource that prevented it from converging.
- The `:disable` action in the `launchd` resource no longer fails if the plist was not found.
- Several Ruby 2.7 deprecation warnings have been resolved.

# Get the Build

As always, you can download binaries directly from [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/chef/16.1.0) or by using the `mixlib-install` command-line utility:

```auto
$ mixlib-install download chef -v 16.1.0

```

Alternatively, you can install Chef Infra Client using one of the following command options:

```auto
# In Shell
$ curl https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -P chef -v 16.1.0

# In Windows Powershell
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project chef -version 16.1.0

```

If you want to give this version a spin in Test Kitchen, create or add the following to your `kitchen.yml` file:

```auto
provisioner:
  product_name: chef
  product_version: 16.1.0

```

Enjoy,  
Tim
