Hello InSpec friends!  
We are delighted to announce the availability of version 4.18.85 of Chef InSpec. Changes include:

## New Features

- Read SSL certificate contents from files or the content that you provide. Thank you to [@frezbo](https://github.com/frezbo) for this new feature!
- The `archive` command includes an `--airgap` mode, which allows it to re-package archives with remote dependencies and not fail.
- Improve your resource debugging experience with the new `--inspect` option for the `inspec shell` command.
- The `service` resource features new support for yocto-based linux distributions. Thank you to [@michaellihs](https://github.com/michaellihs) for this addition!
- The `package` resource now includes support for FreeBSD. Thank you to [@fzipi](https://github.com/fzipi) for this work!

## Improvements

- Our macOS packaging is compatible with macOS Catalina. For more information, see [our recent blog post](https://blog.chef.io/chef-software-on-macos-catalina/).
- The `ControlEvalContext`, `LibraryEvalContext`, and `Resource` classes experienced removal of most meta-programming.
- We standardized the platform for the `etc_hosts`, `virtualization`, `ini`, and `xml` resources.

## Bug Fixes

- The name of the option `--winrm-basic-auth-only` correctly matches the option provided by train. Thanks [@shawnifoley](https://github.com/shawnifoley) for this fix!
- The `oracledb_session` resource works again due to a missing quote fix.
- `command.exist?` now conforms to POSIX standards. Thanks to [@PiQuer](https://github.com/PiQuer)!
- Errors with bad tarball files will properly report.
- The `groups` resource on macOS no longer reports duplicates anymore.
- The JSON reporter's attributes array will not remain empty. Thanks [@nazliBeit](https://github.com/nazliBeit) for your contribution!
- Changed the `postfix_conf` resource's supported platform to the broader `unix`. Thank you to [@fzipi](https://github.com/fzipi) for this fix!
