## New Resources

We've added new resources to Chef Infra Client 14.5. Cookbooks using these resources will continue to take precedent until the Chef Infra Client 15.0 release

### windows_workgroup

Use the `windows_workgroup` resource to join or change a Windows host workgroup.

See the [windows_workgroup](https://docs.chef.io/resources/windows_workgroup) documentation for more information.

Thanks [@derekgroh](https://github.com/derekgroh) for contributing this new resource.

### locale

Use the `locale` resource to set the system's locale.

See the [locale](https://docs.chef.io/resources/locale) documentation for more information.

Thanks [@vincentaubert](https://github.com/vincentaubert) for contributing this new resource.

## Updated Resources

### windows_ad_join

`windows_ad_join` now includes a `new_hostname` property for setting the hostname for the node upon joining the domain.

Thanks [@derekgroh](https://github.com/derekgroh) for contributing this new property.

## InSpec 2.2.102

InSpec has been updated from 2.2.70 to 2.2.102. This new version includes the following improvements:

  - Support for using ERB templating within the .yml files
  - HTTP basic auth support for fetching dependent profiles
  - A new global attributes concept
  - Better error handling with Automate reporting
  - Vendor command now vendors profiles when using path://

## Ohai 14.5

### Windows Improvements

Detection for the `root_group` attribute on Windows has been simplified and improved to properly support non-English systems. With this change, we've also deprecated the `Ohai::Util::Win32::GroupHelper` helper, which is no longer necessary. Thanks to [@jugatsu](https://github.com/jugatsu) for putting this together.

We've also added a new `encryption_status` attribute to volumes on Windows. Thanks to [@kmf](https://github.com/kmf) for suggesting this new feature.

### Configuration Improvements

The timeout period for communicating with OpenStack metadata servers can now be configured with the `openstack_metadata_timeout` config option. Thanks to [@sawanoboly](https://github.com/sawanoboly) for this improvement.

Ohai now properly handles relative paths to config files when running on the command line. This means commands like `ohai -c ../client.rb` will now properly use your config values.

## Security updates

### Rubyzip

The rubyzip gem has been updated to 1.2.2 to resolve [CVE-2018-1000544](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-1000544/)
