*This file holds "in progress" release notes for the current release under development and is intended for consumption by the Chef Documentation team.
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 12.14:
## Highlighted enhancements for this release:
* Upgraded Ruby version from 2.1.9 to 2.3.1 which adds several performance and functionality enhancements.
* Added a small patch to Ruby 2.3.1 and improvements to the Ohai Network plugin in order to support chef client runs on Windows Nano Server.
* Added the ability to mark a property of a custom resource as "sensitive." This will suppress the property's value when it's used in other outputs, such as messages used by the [Data Collector](https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc077-mode-agnostic-data-collection.md). To use, add `sensitive: true` when definine the property. Example:
```ruby
property :db_password, String, sensitive: true
```
* Ported the yum_repository resource from the yum cookbook to core chef. With this change you can create and remove repositories without depending on the yum cookbook. Example:
```ruby
yum_repository 'OurCo' do
description 'OurCo yum repository'
mirrorlist 'http://artifacts.ourco.org/mirrorlist?repo=ourco-6&arch=$basearch'
gpgkey 'http://artifacts.ourco.org/pub/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-OURCO-6'
action :create
end
yum 'Oldrepo' do
action :delete
end
```
* Support for Solaris releases before 10u11 has been removed
* Upgraded Ohai to 8.20 with new / enhanced plugins. See the [ohai changelog](https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/ohai/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
* 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`.
## Highlighted bug fixes for this release:
Fixed `chef_gem` for local gems with remote dependencies. A recent chef release introduced a breaking change which added the `--local` argument to `gem installs` for local gems prohibiting remote dependencies from being installed. Users who want to ensure that gem installs remain completely local should add `--local` to the `options` property:
```
chef_gem 'my-gem' do
source '/tmp/gems/my-gem.gem'
options '--local'
action :install
end
```
