Ohai Chefs!

chef-runner v0.6.0 is out!

> **[mlafeldt/chef-runner](https://github.com/mlafeldt/chef-runner/releases/tag/v0.6.0)**
>
> The fastest way to run Chef cookbooks. Contribute to mlafeldt/chef-runner development by creating an account on GitHub.

FEATURES:

- Add ability to install Chef before provisioning. This allows you to,  
for example, provision bare servers that have nothing installed but  
the base operating system. For this, use the new `-i` option (or  
`--install-chef`).

- Add support for Berkshelf v3 in addition to v2. (Thanks to  
@arosenhagen for the original pull request!)

- Re-add long option names like `--host` and `--json-attributes`.  
Those were removed when porting chef-runner to Go (v0.2.0).

- Re-add ability to install chef-runner via Homebrew.

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Add Quick Start guide to README.

- Only prepend `bundle exec` to Ruby commands if Bundler is actually  
installed. A Gemfile alone is no longer enough.

- Add basic Godoc documentation to all parts of the source code. As a  
result, golint no longer reports any coding style issues.

- Run golint style checks on Travis CI.

BREAKING CHANGES:

- Change default output format of Chef from `null` to `doc`. The  
former is the default used by Vagrant, while the latter is the actual  
default of Chef Solo.

Enjoy!
