+## Ohai 13.6 Release Notes:
+
+### Critical Plugins
+
+Users can now specify a list of plugins which are `critical`. Critical plugins will cause Ohai to fail if they do not run successfully (and thus cause a Chef run using Ohai to fail). The syntax for this is:
+
+```
+ohai.critical_plugins << :Filesystem
+```
+
+### Filesystem now has a `allow_partial_data` configuration option
+
+The Filesystem plugin now has a `allow_partial_data` configuration option. If set, the filesystem will return whatever data it can even if some commands it ran failed.
+
+### Rackspace detection on Windows
+
+Windows nodes running on Rackspace will now properly detect themselves as running on Rackspace without a hint file.
+
+### Package data on Amazon Linux
+
+The Packages plugin now supports gathering packages data on Amazon Linux
