This resolves a +large number of bugs, including being able to correctly set the start +time of tasks, proper creation and deletion of tasks, and improves +Chef's validation of tasks. The rewrite will also solve the idempotency +problems that users have reported. + +## build_essential + +The `build_essential` resource no longer requires a name, similar to the `apt_update` resource. + +## Ignore Failure + +The `ignore_failure` property takes a new argument, `:quiet`, to +suppress the error output when the resource does in fact fail. + +## This release of Chef Client 14 resolves a number of regressions in 14.0 + +- On Windows, the installer now correctly re-extracts files during repair mode +- Fix a number of issues relating to use with Red Hat Satellite +- Git fetch now prunes remotes before running +- Fix locking and unlocking packages with apt and zypper +- Ensure we don't request every remote file when running with lazy loading enabled +- The sysctl resource correctly handles missing keys when used with `ignore_error` +- --recipe-url apparently never worked on Windows. Now it does. + +# Ohai Release Notes 14.1: + +## Configurable DMI Whitelist + +The whitelist of DMI IDs is now user configurable using the +`additional_dmi_ids` configuration setting, which takes an Array. + +## Shard plugin + +The Shard plugin has been returned to a default plugin rather than an +optional one. To ensure we work in FIPS environments, the plugin will +use SHA256 rather than MD5 in those environments. + +## SCSI plugin + +A new plugin to enumerate SCSI devices has been added. This plugin is optional. + +# Chef Client Release Notes 14.0.202: This release of Chef 14 resolves several regressions in the Chef 14.0 release. |
