We’ve got a special holiday Chef bug-fix release for you today. Updated packages are in the usual places.
First, this release sets a requirement that moneta be below the newly rewritten 0.7.0 version because that versions API changed and currently breaks Chef.
Avishai Ish-Shalom filed the bug reporting this issue, which is a blocking bug for gem based installations of Chef. We’ve removed moneta from Chef Client 11 in CHEF-3715 so this requirement should get us by until then. Avishai Ish-Shalom has been contributing to Chef and Ohai for years. Thanks Avishai, you are this releases MVP!
- Fletcher Nichol fixed a bug allowing you to specify your chefserverurl in configuration files from environment variables and other special strings.
- Xabier de Zuazo fixed a big oversight on our part that defaulted providers to support why-run even if they did not.
- Mike Fiedler helped fix a bug that prevented you from specifying an ssh port in your ssh_config.
