  - and reboot_handler recipe)
  - Prefix ::Win32 to avoid namespace collision with Chef::Win32
  - (registry_helper library)
  - Use chef_gem instead of gem_package so gems get installed correctly
    under the Ruby environment Chef runs in (reboot_handler recipe,
    zipfile provider)

## v1.2.12:

* [COOK-1037] - specify version for rubyzip gem
* [COOK-1007] - windows_feature does not work to remove features with
