We’ll start with just one quick thing from me. The forums at forums.habitat.sh have been locked and will not allow for new content to be created. I’m working with the discourse team to cleanly migrate all of the content from there to discourse.chef.io and set up redirects. I’ll obviously let y’all know when it is all done, but let me know if you have questions in the meantime.

This week’s releases

Chef Workstation

benny Vasquez shared

The Workstation team got that release they were working on last week out the door. Lots and lots of updates in there, so definitely take a look.

Other releases

benny Vasquez shared

We had a release of chef-vault, too. 4.1 is out with a fix for secrets that contain escape characters and a pretty significant performance improvement for users with large numbers of secrets. This will be included in the upcoming Chef Infra Client 16.7 release. Like @tas50 said in his announcement, thanks to @annih for the performance work.

Fauxhai-ng 8.5 is now up on Rubygems. This release updates AIX 7.1 data from Chef 14.0 -> 16.7 and adds a new AIX 7.2 dump. This fixes ChefSpec issues for users on AIX. The new dumps now have proper filesystem data, shard plugin data, and ruby plugin data.

Updates

Chef Infra Server

Hello folks!
This week for Chef Infra Server:

  • We are working on reviewing and getting the final pieces of sig_v4 support for AWS ready.
  • Working on a bug fix where we support only path style requests but AWS will support only virtual style hosted requests.
  • We had a couple of pipeline related issues that have now been fixed.
  • We are testing and reviewing the change for rails update.

That is all for us! Take care everyone!
