## Highlighted enhancements for this release:
-* Upgraded Ruby version from 2.1.9 to 2.3.1 which adds several performance and functionality enhancements.
-* 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:
+* Omnibus packages are now available for Ubuntu 16.04.
- ```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)
* Added cab_package resource and provider which supports the installation of CAB/cabinet packages on Windows. Example:

**NOTE:** cab_package resource does not support URLs in `source`.
-## Highlighted bug fixes for this release:
+* Added exit code 213 from [RFC062](https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc062-exit-status.md)
+
+* Set `yum_repository` gpgcheck default to true.
-Fixed `chef_gem` for local gems with remote dependencies. A recent chef release introduced a breaking change which added the `--local` argument to `gem installs` for local gems prohibiting remote dependencies from being installed. Users who want to ensure that gem installs remain completely local should add `--local` to the `options` property:
+* Allow deletion of `registry_key` without the need for users to pass data key in values hash.
+
+* `knife ssh` now uses the command line prompt for sudo if set.

+## Highlighted bug fixes for this release:
-```
-chef_gem 'my-gem' do
- source '/tmp/gems/my-gem.gem'
- options '--local'
- action :install
-end
