Hello InSpec friends!
We are delighted to announce the availability of version 4.41.20 of Chef InSpec. Changes include:

Improvements

  • Added support for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 to the Chef InSpec service resource. (#5578)
  • Replaced the WMI command-line (WMIC) utility in the Chef InSpec security_identifier resource with Common Information Model (CIM) cmdlets as the WMIC utility will be deprecated soon. (#5636)
  • Adjusted the exit code to Normal when attempting to install a plugin that is already installed. (#5625)

Bug Fixes

  • Updated the default branch from master to main in the inspec-gcp and inspec-azure repos. (#5642)
