+
+## Ohai 16.1
+
+Ohai 16.1 includes a new `Selinux` plugin which exposes `node['selinux']['status']`, `node['selinux']['policy_booleans']`, `node['selinux']['process_contexts']`, and `node['selinux']['file_contexts']`. Thanks [@davide125](http://github.com/davide125) for this contribution. This new plugin is an optional plugin, which is disabled by default. It can be enabled within your `client.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+ohai.optional_plugins = [ :Selinux ]
+```
+
+## Chef InSpec 4.18.114
+
+InSpec has been updated from 4.18.111 to 4.18.114, which adds new `--reporter_message_truncation` and `--reporter_backtrace_inclusion` reporter options to truncate messages and suppress backtraces.
+
+## Debian 10 aarch64
+
+Chef Infra Client packages are now produced for Debian 10 on the aarch64 architecture. These packages are available at [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/chef/).
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Resolved a regression in the `launchd` resource that would cause it to fail to converge.
+- The `:disable` action in the `launchd` resource no longer fails if the plist was not found.
+- Several Ruby 2.7 deprecation warnings have been resolved.
+
+# Chef Infra Client 16.0.287
+
+The Chef Infra Client 16.0.287 includes important bug fixes for the Chef Infra Client 16 release:
+
+- Fixes the failure to install Windows packages on the 2nd convergence of the Chef Infra Client.
+- Resolves several failures in the `launchd` resource.
+- Removes an extra `.java` file on Windows installations that would cause a failure in the IIS 8.5 Server Security Technical Implementation Guide audit.
+- Updates the `windows_printer` resource so that the driver property will only be required when using the `:create` action.
+- Fixes the incorrectly spelled `knife user invite recind` command to be `knife user invite rescind`.
+- Update Chef InSpec to 4.8.111 with several minor improvements.

#### New Ohai Plugins
-New `IPC` and `Interupts` plugins have been added to Ohai. The IPC plugin exposes SysV IPC shmem information and interupts plugin exposes data from `/proc/interrupts` and `/proc/irq`. Both of these plugins are disabled by default and you will need to add :Ipc or :Interupts. Thanks [@jsvana](https://github.com/jsvana) and [@davide125](https://github.com/davide125) for these new plugins.
