Aside from some behind-the-scenes build improvements, it has two major updates over the previous release: The minimum set of Policyfile endpoints necessary to upload a policy and run Chef Client is now implemented (though see the caveats below).

Ohai Chefs, Update Sat Mar 28 00:28:04 UTC 2015: Chef 12.2.0 has a regression that will prevent you from running chef-client in situations where the HOME environment variable is unset.
