Ohai Chefs!

We’re happy to announce the release of ChefDK v2.5 with a pile of new testing tools!

## Release Highlights

### Rename `smoke` tests to `integration` tests.

The cookbook, recipe, and app generators now name the test directory `integration` instead of `smoke`. This will not impact existing cookbooks generated with older releases of ChefDK, but does simplify the .kitchen.yml for all new cookbooks.

### Chef 13.8.5

ChefDK now ships with Chef 13.8.5. See [https://docs.chef.io/release\_notes.html](https://docs.chef.io/release_notes.html) for more information on what’s new.

### Updated chef\_version in chef generate cookbook

When running `chef generate cookbook` the generated cookbook will now specify a minimum chef release of 12.14 not 12.1.
