Chef 10.16.2 Released!

More patches, more love

We’ve have a bug fix release for you today. Included are a couple fairly critical bug fixes for an issue with incorrect permissions with cookbook_file and remote_file on Windows. Also included is a whyrun fix for remote_directory.

Jamie Winsor has been a member of the Chef community and a great advocate for a long time. He’s probably most well known for his work on Berkshelf, the cookbook dependency handler. Thanks for being a big part of our community Jamie! You are this releases’ MVP!
