Hey folks,

We have a nice new release of Chef Infra Client that slims down the install size and improves the Compliance experience. Be sure to check it out.

### Improvements

- Resolved orphaned PowerShell processes when using Compliance Remediation content.
- Reduced Chef Infra Client install size by up to 5%.

### Chef InSpec 4.26.4

Chef InSpec has been updated from 4.25.1 to 4.26.4.

#### New Features

- You can now directly refer to settings in the `nginx_conf` resource using the `its` syntax. Thanks [@rgeissert](https://github.com/rgeissert)!
- You can now specify the shell type for WinRM connections using the `--winrm-shell-type` option. Thanks [@catriona1](https://github.com/catriona1)!
- Plugin settings can now be set programmatically. Thanks @tecracer-theinen!

#### Bug Fixes

- Updated the `oracledb_session` to use more general invocation options. Thanks [@pacopal](https://github.com/pacopal)!
- Fixed an error with the `http` resource in Chef Infra Client by including `faraday_middleware` in the gemspec.
- Fixed an incompatibility between `parslet` and `toml` in Chef Infra Client.
- Improved programmatic plugin configuration.

# Get the Build

As always, you can download binaries directly from [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/products/infra?v=16.9.32) or by using the `mixlib-install` command-line utility:

```auto
$ mixlib-install download chef -v 16.9.32

```

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

```auto
# In Shell

# In Windows Powershell
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project chef -version 16.9.32

```

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

```auto

```

Enjoy,  
Tim
