# Chef Client Release Notes 12.15:
## Highlighted enhancements for this release:
* Omnibus packages are now available for Ubuntu 16.04.
* Added cab_package resource and provider which supports the installation of CAB/cabinet packages on Windows. Example:
```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
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)
* Set `yum_repository` gpgcheck default to true.
* Allow deletion of `registry_key` without the need for users to pass data key in values hash.
* `knife ssh` will pass the -P option on the command line, if it is given, as the sudo password and will bypass prompting.
