I’m happy to announce we just pushed an updated version of the  
knife-rackspace plugin.

One nifty new feature suggested by community member Jay Feldblum was a  
fix that allows pulling in your Rackspace username/key from your Fog  
credentials file. This can be accomplished by adding he following  
lines to your knife.rb file:

```
require 'fog'
knife.merge! Fog.credentials

```

Here’s a list of tickets that were addressed with this release:
