Hey Chefs,

Today we released Ohai 8.15.0, which is available on Rubygems now, and will be included with the next Chef release. This is a minor release, but it comes with some improvements that might be important to you.

- New FIPS plugin to determine if the system is FIPS enabled or not
- Fixes to the data returned by the mono, erlang, scala, and elixir plugins
- Improved debug logging in language and cloud plugins
- Fixed an issue where the C plugin was causing DNS lookups on Windows machines

Here’s the complete changelog:
