We are delighted to announce the availability of version 18.7.6 of Chef Infra Client.

## Dependencies

- We fixed a regression in mixlib logging. ([#14951](https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/14951))
- We updated ffi-libarchive to prevent potential man-in-the-middle attacks on Windows nodes. ([#91](https://github.com/chef/ffi-libarchive/pull/91))
- In Ohai, we constrained the ffi version to \<= 1.17.0. ([#1860](https://github.com/chef/ohai/pull/1860))

## Resource Updates

- We improved the registry\_key resource to prevent it from logging extraneous registry keys on Windows nodes. ([#14961](https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/14961))

## Packaging

- We now build packages for macOS 13 and 14. ([#14949](https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/14949))
