Ohai Chefs!

We have selected <%= @version %> as our Chef v<%= @maj_minor %> release candidate which is scheduled for release on <%= @date.strftime('%A %B %-d, %Y') %>.

<%= @release_notes %>

Please see the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for the complete list of changes.

# Get the Build
As always, you can download binaries directly from [downloads.chef.io](https://downloads.chef.io/chef-client) or by using the new `mixlib-install` command line utility available in ChefDK 0.19.6 or greater.

```shell
$ mixlib-install download chef -v <%= @version %> -c current
```

Alternatively, you can install Chef using one of the following command options:

```shell
# In Shell
$ curl https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -P chef -v <%= @version %> -c current

# In Windows Powershell
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project chef -version <%= @version %> -channel current
```

If you want to give this version a spin in Test Kitchen, create or add the following to a `.kitchen.local.yml` file:

```yaml
provisioner:
  product_name: chef
  channel: current
  product_version: <%= @version %>
```
