We're also collecting CPU model and family data to match CPU data on Linux systems. -- The code to parse dmidecode data to detect virtualization guests is now shared between BSD and Linux systems for consistent detection of virtualization guests. - -## Miscellaneous -- Collected zfs filesystem properties are now configurable on solaris2. -- The path to the Ohai plugins directory is now escaped to prevent failures on Windows systems if the path included spaces. -- The AIX CPU plugin now detects the bitness of the system. -- Ohai now longer fails under certain circumstances when determining network listeners - -# Ohai Breaking Changes: -- Linux guests running on Hyper-V were previously detected as running on VirtualPC, but are now correctly detected as Hyper-V guests. -- Core and CPU counts on Windows were based on the first CPU only. Counts will now take into account all physical CPUs. +This is a patch release with the following fixes: +1. Removed dependency on mime-types gem. This could cause failures in some scenarios. +2. Skip loading the VMWare plug-in when we don't need it (e.g. on non-VMWare systems) |
