This file accepts a string or a block, -similar to `only_if`. A full specification can be found in RFC 027: - -https://github.com/opscode/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc027-file-content-verification.md - -### Chef now handles URI Schemes in a case insensitive manner - -Previously, when a URI scheme contained all uppercase letters, Chef would reject the URI as invalid. In compliance with RFC3986, Chef now treats URI schemes in a case insensitive manner. This applies to all resources which accept URIs such as remote_file etc. - -### Experimental Audit Mode Feature - -There is a new command_line flag provided for `chef-client`: `--audit-mode`. This accepts 1 of 3 arguments: - -* `disabled` (default) - Audits are disabled and the phase is skipped. This is the default while Audit mode is an -experimental feature. -* `enabled` - Audits are enabled and will be performed after the converge phase. -* `audit-only` - Audits are enabled and convergence is disabled. Only audits will be performed. - -This can also be configured in your node's client.rb with the key `audit_mode` and a value of `:disabled`, `:enabled` or `:audit_only`. - -### Chef Why Run Mode Ignores Audit Phase - -Because most users enable `why_run` mode to determine what resources convergence will update on their system, the audit -phase is not executed. There is no way to get both `why_run` output and audit output in 1 single command. To get -audit output without performing convergence use the `--audit-mode` flag. - -#### Editors note 1 - -The `--audit-mode` flag should be a link to the documentation for that flag - -#### Editors node 2 - -This probably only needs to be a bullet point added to http://docs.getchef.com/nodes.html#about-why-run-mode under the -`certain assumptions` section - -## Drop SSL Warnings -Now that the default for SSL checking is on, no more warning is emitted when SSL -checking is off. - -## Multi-package Support -The `package` provider has been extended to support multiple packages. This -support is new and and not all subproviders yet support it. Full support for -`apt` and `yum` has been implemented. - -## Add compile_time option to chef_gem - -This option defaults to true, which is deprecated, and setting this to false -will stop chef_gem from automatically installing at compile_time. False is -the recommended setting as long as the gem is only used in provider code (a -best practice) and not used directly in recipe code. - -## Yum Package provider now supports version requirements - -A documented feature of the yum_package provider was the ability to specify a version requirement such as ` = 1.0.1.el5` in the resource name. -However, this did not actually work. It has now been fixed, and additionally version requirements are now supported in the `version` attribute -of yum_package as well. - -## Validatorless bootstraps - -Validation keys are now optional. If the validation key is simply deleted and does not exist, then knife bootstrap will use the -user's key to create a client for the node and create the node object and bootstrap the host. Validation keys can continue to be -used, particularly for autoscaling, but even for that use case a dedicated user for autoscaling would be preferable to the shared -validation key. - -## Bootstrap will create chef-vault items - -The --bootstrap-vault-item, --bootstrap-vault-json, and --bootstrap-vault-file arguments have been added to knife bootstrap providing -three alternative ways to set chef vault items when bootstrapping a host. - -## Windows service now has a configurable timeout - -You can now set the amount of time a chef-client run is allowed when running the provided windows service. This can be configured by -setting `windows_service.watchdog_timeout` in your `client.rb` to the number of seconds desired. The default value is 2 hours. +### knife ssh has --exit-on-error option +`knife ssh` now has an --exit-on-error option that will cause it to +fail immediately in the face of an SSH connection error. The default +behavior is move on to the next node. |
