Since then, we've noticed that no-one uses it, +and so `erl_call` will be removed in Chef 14. + +## The `windows_task` Resource should be better behaved + +We've spent a considerable amount of time testing and fixing the +`windows_task` resource to ensure that it is properly idempotent and +correct in more situations. + +## Credentials handling + +Previously, chef on the workstation used `knife.rb` or `config.rb` to +handle credentials. This didn't do a great job when interacting with +multiple Chef servers, leading to the need for tools like `knife_block`. +We've added support for a credentials file that can contain +configuration for many Chef servers (or organizations), and we've made +it easy to indicate which account you mean to use. + ## Ohai 13.7 Release Notes: ### EC2 C5 Detection -- cgit v1.2.1
