Please see [https://docs.chef.io/release_notes.html](https://docs.chef.io/release_notes.html) for the official Chef release notes.* -# Chef Client Release Notes 12.15: +# Chef Client Release Notes 12.16: ## Highlighted enhancements for this release: -* Omnibus packages are now available for Ubuntu 16.04. +* Added `attribute_changed` event hook: -* Added cab_package resource and provider which supports the installation of CAB/cabinet packages on Windows. Example: +In a cookbook library file, you can add this in order to print out all attribute changes in cookbooks: - ```ruby - cab_package 'Install .NET 3.5 sp1 via KB958488' do - source 'C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Temp\Windows6.1-KB958488-x64.cab' - action :install +```ruby +Chef.event_handler do + on :attribute_changed do |precedence, key, value| + puts "setting attribute #{precedence}#{key.map {|n| "[\"#{n}\"]" }.join} = #{value}" end +end +``` - cab_package 'Remove .NET 3.5 sp1 via KB958488' do - source 'C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Temp\Windows6.1-KB958488-x64.cab' - action :remove - end - ``` - **NOTE:** cab_package resource does not support URLs in `source`. - -* Added exit code 213 (Chef Upgrades) from [RFC062](https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc062-exit-status.md) - * This allows for easier testing of chef client upgrades in Test Kitchen. See [omnibus_updater](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/omnibus_updater) +If you want to setup a policy that override attributes should never be used: -* Set `yum_repository` gpgcheck default to true. - -* Allow deletion of `registry_key` without the need for users to pass data key in values hash. +```ruby +Chef.event_handler do + on :attribute_changed do |precedence, key, value| + raise "override policy violation" if precedence == :override + end +end +``` -* `knife ssh` will pass the -P option on the command line, if it is given, as the sudo password and will bypass prompting. +There will likely be some missed attribute changes and some bugs that need fixing (hint: PRs accepted), there could be +added command line options to print out all attribute changes or filter them (hint: PRs accepted), or to add source +file and line numbers to the event (hint: PRs accepted). ## Highlighted bug fixes for this release: |
