Hello Chefs,

We have released version 4.0.0 of the chef-server cookbook.

The most important change to note is that this now uses the previously  
announced chef-ingredient cookbook, passing in the configuration attribute  
with a string, rather than a hash. Those who are using the attribute as a  
hash will need to update that where applicable (roles or wrapper  
cookbooks). See the [README.md](http://README.md) for more detail on the syntax, and check out  
the changelog.

Cheers,  
Joshua
