Habitat packages available
ChefDK is now released as a habitat package under the identifier chef/chef-dk. All successful builds will be available in the unstable channel and all promoted builds will be available in the stable channel. This is similar to the current and stable downloads of ChefDK available on https://downloads.chef.io/chefdk/stable.
Updated Homebrew cask tap
On macOS you can install ChefDK using brew cask install chef/chef/chefdk. This behavior is not new but the tap name changed.
Updated Tooling
Fauxhai
Fauxhai 6.4.0 brings support for 3 new platforms - CentOS 7.5, Debian 8.11, and FreeBSD 11.2. It also updates the dumps for Amazon Linux, Redhat, SLES, and Ubuntu to match Chef 14.2 output. Finally it deprecates FreeBSD 10.3.
Foodcritic
Foodcritic 14.0.0 adds support for Chef 14.2 metadata, makes it the default, and removes old Chef 13 metadata. It also updated rules for clarity, removed an unecessary rule, and added a new rule saying when cookbooks have unecessary dependencies now that resources moved into core Chef. See the changelog for a full list of changes.
