Chef 10.14.4 Released!

We have another patch release for 10.14 for you today. This release is mostly fixes to the deploy provider and the error inspectors. The usual Rubygems, Debian packages and Omnibus packages are all up.

Kendrick Martin was really helpful with some debugging work this release and has really been improving the Windows cookbooks. We’re naming him this releases MVP, congratulations and thanks Kendrick!

Past MVP Xabier de Zuazo improved the error output when searching for nodes in knife ssh.
Leif Madsen and Andrew Crump helped fix a change that affected minitest-handler runs.
Kelley Reynolds fixed an output bug with the knife print_after option.
Kenneth Kalmer provided a fix for a bug in the registration error inspector.

  • [CHEF-3435] – deploy resource doesn't create the deploy_to or shared_path directories

  • [CHEF-3454] – Notications based on HEAD http request broken
  • [CHEF-3456] – error inspectors (sometimes) do not show relevant file content
