Hey folks,

We have a small hotfix release of Chef Infra Client 16.3 to fix an important regression communicating with the Chef Infra Server. While we were at we tossed in a few small improvements:

- Resolved failures negotiating protocol versions with the Chef Infra Server.
- Improved log output on Windows systems in the `hostname` resource.
- Added support to the `archive_file` resource for `pzstd` compressed files.

# Get the Build

As always, you can download binaries directly from [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/chef/16.3.45) or by using the `mixlib-install` command-line utility:

```auto
$ mixlib-install download chef -v 16.3.45

```

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 16.3.45

# In Windows Powershell
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project chef -version 16.3.45

```

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: 16.3.45

```

Enjoy,  
Tim
