+The knife cookbook site command has been deprecated in favor of the knife supermarket command. Under the hood they are both actually the same codebase, but running knife cookbook site will now product a warning message. In Chef 16 we will remove the knife cookbook site command entirely.

+Chef no longer processes attributes in the metadata.rb file. Attributes could be defined in the metadata.rb file as a form of documentation, which would be shown when running `knife cookbook show COOKBOOK_NAME`, but these attributes often became out of sync with attributes in the actual attributes files. Chef 15 will no longer show these attributes when running `knife cookbook show COOKBOOK_NAME` and will instead throw a warning message upon upload. Foodcritic has warned against the use of attributes in the metadata.rb file since April 2017.
