### Target Mode Prototype
-Chef Infra Client 15 adds a prototype of a new method of executing resources we call Target Mode. Target Mode allows a Chef Infra Client run to manage a remote system over ssh or another protocol supported by the Train library. This includes both platforms we build for today like Ubuntu Linux, but also allows for configuring other architectures and platforms such as switches that don't have native builds of Chef Infra Client. Target Mode maintains a separate node object for each target, allowing you to manage that node using existing patterns that you use today.
+Chef Infra Client 15 adds a prototype for a new method of executing resources called Target Mode. Target Mode allows a Chef Infra Client run to manage a remote system over SSH or another protocol supported by the Train library. This support includes platforms that we currently support like Ubuntu Linux, but also allows for configuring other architectures and platforms, such as switches that do not have native builds of Chef Infra Client. Target Mode maintains a separate node object for each target and allows you to manage that node using existing patterns that you currently use.
As of this release only the execute resource and guards are supported, but modifying existing resources or writing new ones to support target mode is relatively easy. Using target mode is as easy as `chef-client --target hostname`. The authentication credentials should be stored in your local ~/.chef/credentials file with the hostname of the target node as the profile name. Each key/value pair is passed to Train for authentication.

Platform and plaform_family detection on Linux has been rewritten to utilize the latest config files on modern Linux distributions before falling back to slower and fragile legacy detection methods. Ohai will now begin by parsing the contents of /etc/os-release for OS information if available. This improves the reliability of detection on modern distros and allows detection of new distros as they're released.
-With this change we now detect `sles_sap` as a member of the `suse` platform_family. Additionally this change corrects our detection of the platform_version on Cisco Nexus switches where we previously incorrectly appended the build number to the version string.
