We’re going to retire that schedule and cut back quite a bit on them to help give us time to build super quality content for 1-2 livestreams a month. If you have anything to offer, let us know!

**Cinc Updates**

ramereth shared

Hello from the Cinc Project!

Server:

- Released 14.13.42 via unstable channel

- Also released 14.13.42 via the current channel containing the word mark fixes from this [PR](https://github.com/chef/chef-server/pull/3205)

- Please test this and let us know if you run into any issues between versions

- This version does not contain any symlinks to Chef paths and should be using the native paths for everything

- I expect this might cause issues migrating between the version we currently have in unstable so please provide feedback
