Hi Everyone,

We have a small bugfix release for Chef Infra Client 16.5 today that also includes several nice performance enhancements as well as improved `homebrew_package` functionality. Make sure to give it a try.

## What's New in 16.5.77

- Added missing requires to prevent errors when loading `chef/policy_builder/dynamic`.
- The `homebrew_package` resource will now check for the full and short package names. Both `homebrew_package 'homebrew/core/vim'` and `homebrew_package 'vim'` styles should now work correctly.
- Resolved errors that occurred in cookbooks requiring `addressable/uri`.
- Improved the license acceptance flow to give helpful information if the user passes an invalid value in the environment variable or command-line argument.
- Updated Chef InSpec to 4.23.11 in order to resolve issues when running the new `junit2` reporter.
- Additional performance improvements to reduce the startup time of the `chef-client` and `knife` commands.
- `knife vault` commands now output proper JSON or YAML when using the `-f json` or `-f yaml` flags.

## Get the Build

As always, you can download binaries directly from [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/products/infra?v=16.5.77) or by using the `mixlib-install` command-line utility:

```auto
$ mixlib-install download chef -v 16.5.77

```

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 16.5.77

# In Windows Powershell
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project chef -version 16.5.77

```

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: 16.5.77

```

Enjoy,  
Tim
