# Chef Client Release Notes 12.4.0:
## Knife Key Management Commands for Users and Clients
`knife user` and `knife client` now have a suite of subcommands that live under
the `key` subcommand. These subcommands allow you to list, show, create, delete
and edit keys for a given user or client. They can be used to implement
key rotation with multiple expiring keys for a single actor or just
for basic key management. See `knife user key` and `knife client key`
for a full list of subcommands and their usage.
## System Loggers
You can now have all Chef logs sent to a logging system of your choice.
### Syslog Logger
Syslog can be used by adding the following line to your chef config
file:
```ruby
log_location Chef::Log::Syslog.new("chef-client", ::Syslog::LOG_DAEMON)
```
THis will write to the `daemon` facility with the originator set as
`chef-client`.
### Windows Event Logger
The logger can be used by adding the following line to your chef config file:
```ruby
log_location Chef::Log::WinEvt.new
```
This will write to the Application log with the source set as Chef.
## RemoteFile resource supports UNC paths on Windows
You can now use UNC paths with `remote_file` on Windows machines. For
example, you can get `Foo.tar.gz` off of `fooshare` on `foohost` using
the following resource:
```ruby
remote_file 'C:\Foo.tar.gz' do
source "\\\\foohost\\fooshare\\Foo.tar.gz"
end
```
## WindowsPackage resource supports URLs
The `windows_package` resource now allows specifying URLs for the source
attribute. For example, you could install 7zip with the following resource:
```ruby
windows_package '7zip' do
source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi"
end
```
Internally, this is done by using a `remote_file` resource to download the
contents at the specified url. If needed, you can modify the attributes of
the `remote_file` resource using the `remote_file_attributes` attribute.
The `remote_file_attributes` accepts a hash of attributes that will be set
on the underlying remote_file. For example, the checksum of the contents can
be verified using
```ruby
windows_package '7zip' do
source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi"
remote_file_attributes {
:path => "C:\\7zip.msi",
:checksum => '7c8e873991c82ad9cfcdbdf45254ea6101e9a645e12977dcd518979e50fdedf3'
}
end
```
To make the transition easier from the Windows cookbook, `windows_package` also
accepts the `checksum` attribute, and the previous resource could be rewritten
as:
```ruby
windows_package '7zip' do
source "http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi"
checksum '7c8e873991c82ad9cfcdbdf45254ea6101e9a645e12977dcd518979e50fdedf3'
end
```
