Hi Chefs,

Since we announced the 11.6 Release Candidate, we’ve been busy running  
test scenarios to verify new features and bug fixes. This round of  
testing is complete, and we’ve released a new RC with a handful of  
fixes. Unless any new issues are found, this RC will become the 11.6.0  
release. If you’ve been wondering how you can contribute to Chef,  
testing this release in your environment is a great way to help out.

For the full list of changes in this release, please see the draft  
release notes:

If you encounter any bugs in this RC, please create a bug report on our  
tracker: [http://tickets.opscode.com](http://tickets.opscode.com)
