Hey Chefs!

Just wanted to let everyone know there’s a few new cookbook updates.  
You can see the full detail in the [CHANGELOG.md](http://CHANGELOG.md) for each. Highlights:

apache2 v1.1.12 - fixes the web\_app definition

rabbitmq v1.5.0 - now requires apt v1.4.4 (for apt-get notification  
fix); fixes installation on Ubuntu

apt v1.4.4 - notify apt-get update immediately

Moar releases! As before, see the CHANGELOG.md of each cookbook for further information.

build-essential v1.1.0 - This abstracts package selection via the platform\_family attribute introduced in a recent release of ohai, and it also allows the option to install packages for building C software at compiletime. The README.md is updated to reflect this (there's a typo in the Usage example, but that is fixed in master, just hasn't been updated in the release yet - the attributes file is correct).

perl v1.0.0 - This releases switches the cpan installation to use App::cpanminus (cpanm), closing a few duplicated tickets related to Config.pm being perl version specific. Thanks Ash Berlin! Another important change is that the list of packages selected for installation by platform is now set to an attribute, so you can flexibly control your perl packages.

java v1.5.2 - This has some better handling for Oracle JDK on Ubuntu.
