We have released a new version of the Windows Cookbook (v1.39.0) to the Chef Supermarket. The most notable changes include:
Deprecation of the windows_package
resource
Since all windows_package
functionality has been moved to the core Chef client as of 12.6.0, usage of this resource will trigger a warning about its deprecation and suggest one uses the package
resource available in Chef client 12.6.0. If Chef 12.6.0 or greater is running, calls will be forwarded to Chef::Provider::Package
.
Improvements to windows_task
Some bug fixes were made including an implementation of the cwd
attribute which previously did nothing and added support for a months
attribute and new frequency modifiers. See the updated README for more.
For a complete list, have a look at the changelog.
Thanks!
Matt
