 We removed the Ohai::Util::Win32::GroupHelper helper class from Ohai. This class was intended for use internally in several Windows plugins, but it was never marked private in the codebase. If any of your Ohai plugins rely on this helper class, you will need to update your plugins for Ohai 15.
 
+# Chef Client Release Notes 14.8:
+
+## Updated Resources
+
+### apt_package

+
+### apt_repository
+

+
+Initial support has been added for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Thank you [@pixdrift](https://github.com/pixdrift) for this fix.
+
+### gem_package
+
+gem_package now supports installing gems into Ruby 2.6 or later installations.
+
+### windows_ad_join
+
+windows_ad_join now uses the UPN format for usernames, which prevents some failures to authenticate to the domain.
+
+### windows_certificate
+
+An issue was resolved in the :acl_add action of the windows_certificate resource, which caused the resource to fail. Thank you [@shoekstra](htts://github.com/shoekstra) for reporting this issue.
+
+### windows_feature

+
+### windows_share
+
+Multiple issues were resolved in windows_share, which caused the resource to either fail or update the share state on every Chef Client run. Thank you [@chadmccune](https://github.com/chadmccune) for reporting several of these issues and [@derekgroh](https://github.com/derekgroh) for one of the fixes.
+
+### windows_task

+
+## Ohai 14.8
+
+### Improved Virtualization Detection
+
+#### Hyper-V Hypervisor Detection
+
+Detection of Linux guests running on Hyper-V has been improved. In addition, Linux guests on Hyper-V hypervisors will also now detect their hypervisor's hostname. Thank you [@safematix](https://github.com/safematix) for contributing this enhancement.
+
+Example `node['virtualization']` data:
+```json
+{
+  "systems": {
+    "hyperv": "guest"
+  },
+  "system": "hyperv",
+  "role": "guest",
+  "hypervisor_host": "hyper_v.example.com"
+}
+```
+
+#### LXC / LXD Detection
+
+On Linux systems running lxc or lxd containers, the lxc/lxd virtualization system will now properly populate the `node['virtualization']['systems']` attribute.
+
+#### BSD Hypervisor Detection
+
+BSD-based systems can now detect guests running on KVM and Amazon's hypervisor without the need for the dmidecode package.
+
+### New Platform Support
