Cookbook releases

The releases keep coming.

We’ve updated the bootstrap-latest.tar.gz tarball of "chef-server"
cookbooks for the rubygems installation method. Note that barring
bugfixes, this will be one of the last releases of the tarball because
we’re working to get Chef 11 installed, and it will heavily refactor the
chef-server cookbook.

The biggest news in this batch of cookbooks aside from the newer
chef-server and its dependencies is a new release of the nginx cookbook.
This release includes test-kitchen support.

Also, a reminder: if you have an outstanding pull request that hasn’t been
answered in a week or two (or more, sorry!), please update with the master
branch of the repository and re-push your changes to ensure that
everything is updated for merging. Most of the time the GitHub pull
request UI will say it cannot be automatically merged, indicating there’s
a conflict that needs to be fixed. This will expedite your changes being
merged in once they’re reviewed.

Finally, please do join us on our Google Hangout for code review. These
are still happening three times a week.

Thanks!
