Hello InSpec friends!  
We are delighted to announce the availability of version 4.18.0 of Chef InSpec. Changes include:

## New Features

- Exceptional: Use [Waivers](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/waivers/) to mark controls as being administratively expected to fail.

## Improvements

- What Do You Call...?: The `interface` resource now has a `name` property.
- Dazed and Conf-user-ed: Expanded user resource to include the `passwordage`, `maxbadpasswords`, and `badpasswordattempts` properties with Windows.

## Bug Fixes

- Repaired: Fixed a regression in which most RSpec-based matchers were broken.
- Understandable: The `apt` resources now correctly parse quoted repository addresses.
- Back In Action: `inspec env` works again, instead of erroneously stacktracing.
