Ohai, we prepared a new release for you!
The Ohai 0.2.0 MVP is Thom May. Thom checked out Ohai, and
immediately wrote a Python Language Plugin
(http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-50). He then just kept on
fixing bugs - he made tests better
(http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-40), he fixed an exception
caused when systems didn’t have a fully qualified domain name
(http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-51), and he patched up the
virtualization plugin for VMware and VirtualPC
(http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-47). You have the thanks of a
grateful community, Thom.
Mathieu Sauve-Frankel (http://kisoku.net/) has been giving all sorts
of great feedback about Ohai’s internals and design. He also sent in
2 fixes for FreeBSD (http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-61) and
the first round of tests (http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-58).
Rumor has it he’s hard at work on OpenBSD support - Mathieu, you
officially rock.
Other new features in Ohai 0.2.0:
- If you have libvirt (http://libvirt.org/) installed, Ohai now
reports libvirt data. - Improved logging
- EC2 user and meta-data collection improvements
On to the release notes!
