## Updated Resources

### group

On Windows hosts, the group resource now supports setting the comment field via a new `comment` property.

### homebrew_cask

Two issues, which caused homebrew_cask to converge on each Chef Infra Client run, have been resolved. Thanks [@jeroenj](https://github.com/jeroenj) for this fix. Additionally, the resource will no longer fail if the `cask_name` property is specified.

### homebrew_tap

The homebrew_tap resource no longer fails if the `tap_name` property is specified.

### openssl_x509_request

The openssl_x509_request resource now properly writes out the CSR file if the `path` property is specified. Thank you [@cpjones](https://github.com/cpjones) for reporting this issue.

### powershell_package_source

powershell_package_source now suppresses warnings, which prevented properly loading the resource state, and resolves idempotency issues when both the `name` and `source_name` properties were specified. Thanks [@Happycoil](https://github.com/Happycoil) for this fix.

### sysctl

The sysctl resource now allows slashes in the key or block name. This allows keys such as `net/ipv4/conf/ens256.401/rp_filter` to be used with this resource.

### windows_ad_join

Errors joining the domain are now properly suppressed from the console and logs if the `sensitive` property is set to true. Thanks [@Happycoil](https://github.com/Happycoil) for this improvement.

### windows_certificate

The delete action now longer fails if a certificate does not exist on the system. Additionally, certificates with special characters in their passwords will no longer fail. Thank you for reporting this [@chadmccune](https://github.com/chadmccune).

### windows_printer

The windows_printer resource no longer fails when creating or deleting a printer if the `device_id` property is specified.

### windows_task

Non-system users can now run tasks without a password being specified.

## Minimal Ohai Improvements

The ohai `init_package` plugin is now included as part of the `minimal_ohai` plugins set, which allows resources such as timezone to continue to function if Chef is running with the minimal number of ohai plugins.

## Ruby 2.6 Support

Chef Infra Client 14.9 now supports Ruby 2.6.

## InSpec 3.2.6

InSpec has been updated from 3.0.64 to 3.2.6 with improved resources for auditing. See the [InSpec changelog](https://github.com/inspec/inspec/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v326-2018-12-20) for additional details on this new version.

## powershell_exec Runtimes Bundled

The necessary VC++ runtimes for the powershell_exec helper are now bundled with Chef Infra Client to prevent failures on hosts that lacked the runtimes.
