Greetings folks!

I’m happy to let everyone know that we have released Chef DK 0.11.2.

As per the pre-release announcement, there are a number of features and improvements:

- Updated versions of dependencies, including OpenSSL 1.0.1r with the latest security fixes.
- Updated CA Certs which adds the latest root certificates.
- Updated to include Chef 12.7.2 and Ohai 8.10.0.
- Lots of PolicyFile updates and improvements - added support for community cookbooks, improvements to native policy export, improved policy logging, better PolicyFile validation, etc. ( **Important note:** Once you upgrade to ChefDK 0.11 policy files, you have to make sure you are also running Chef Client 12.7+ in test kitchen).
- An improved Windows installer which is now much faster.
- Updated Test-Kitchen (1.5.0) with lots of fixes and improvements.
- New Knife-Windows (1.2.1) now supporting NTLM authentication from Linux.

Quick question @Salim_Alam, does this release include the bugfixes allow editing policies on the node attributes that @kallistec mentioned in [this thread](https://discourse.chef.io/t/how-to-use-policyfiles-on-existing-nodes/7595/4?u=amaltson)? Thanks!
