The following items are new for Chef Infra Client 12.13 and/or are changes from previous versions. The short version: - **Ohai 8.18 includes new plugin for gathering available user shells** Other additions include a new hardware plugin for macOS that gathers system information and detection of VMWare and VirtualBox installations. - **New Chef client option to override any config key/value pair** Use `chef-client --config-option` to override any config setting from the command line. ## --config-option Use the `--config-option` option to override a single configuration option when calling a command on `chef-client`. To override multiple configuration options, simply add additional `--config-option` options like in the following example: ```bash chef-client --config-option chef_server_url=http://example --config-option policy_name=web" ``` ## Updated Dependencies - ruby - 2.1.9 (from 2.1.8) ### Updated Gems - chef-zero - 4.8.0 (from 4.7.0) - cheffish - 2.0.5 (from 2.0.4) - compat_resource - 12.10.7 (from 12.10.6) - ffi - 1.9.14 (from 1.9.10) - ffi-yajl - 2.3.0 (from 2.2.3) - fuzzyurl - 0.9.0 (from 0.8.0) - mixlib-cli - 1.7.0 (from 1.6.0) - mixlib-log - 1.7.0 (from 1.6.0) - ohai - 8.18.0 (from 8.17.1) - pry - 0.10.4 (from 0.10.3) - rspec - 3.5.0 (from 3.4.0) - rspec-core - 3.5.2 (from 3.4.4) - rspec-expectations - 3.5.0 (from 3.4.0) - rspec-mocks - 3.5.0 (from 3.4.1) - rspec-support - 3.5.0 (from 3.4.1) - simplecov - 0.12.0 (from 0.11.2) - specinfra - 2.60.3 (from 2.59.4) - mixlib-archive - 0.2.0 (added to package)
