* Added a small patch to Ruby 2.3.1 and improvements to the Ohai Network plugin in order to support chef client runs on Windows Nano Server.
* Added the ability to mark a property of a custom resource as "sensitive." This will suppress the property's value when it's used in other outputs, such as messages used by the [Data Collector](https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc077-mode-agnostic-data-collection.md). To use, add `sensitive: true` when definine the property. Example:
-```ruby
-property :db_password, String, sensitive: true
-```
+ ```ruby
+ property :db_password, String, sensitive: true
+ ```
+
+* Ported the yum_repository resource from the yum cookbook to core chef. With this change you can create and remove repositories without depending on the yum cookbook. Example:
+
+ ```ruby
+ yum_repository 'OurCo' do
+ description 'OurCo yum repository'
+ mirrorlist 'http://artifacts.ourco.org/mirrorlist?repo=ourco-6&arch=$basearch'
+ gpgkey 'http://artifacts.ourco.org/pub/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-OURCO-6'
+ action :create
+ end
+
+ yum 'Oldrepo' do
+ action :delete
+ end
+ ```
+
+* Support for Solaris releases before 10u11 has been removed
+* Upgraded Ohai to 8.20 with new / enhanced plugins. See the [ohai changelog](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/ohai/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
