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. |
