 # Ohai Release Notes:
 
-## Microsoft Azure
-
-- Hosts running on Microsoft Azure will now be better detected as Azure hosts when they don't have a cloud hint file. The presence of the waagent on Windows and Linux or the presence of DHCP option 245 on Linux will mark a host as running in Azure.
-
 ## Amazon EC2
 
-- Linux hosts that include the ec2metadata command line tool will now be detected as running in EC2
-- EC2 nodes will now be able to use EC2 metadata versions 2014-11-05 and 2014-02-25 if available for increased instance information
-
-## Virtualization Improvements:
-
-- Openstack hosts are now detected if Nova is installed
-- KVM detection has been improved to better detect Linux guests running on KVM, and to properly detect KVM hosts
-- Solaris guests running on various hypervisors are now detected, and the node['virutalization']['systems'] attribute is now set as we do on other platforms
-- bhyve hosts and guests on FreeBSD are now detected
-- FreeBSD guests on VMware, Xen, and Hyper-V are now detected even if dmidecode isn't installed
-- Virsh detection no longer requires the hpricot gem to be installed, and no longer returns XML data
-
-## OS X
-
-- The plist gem is now a required gem for Ohai, which allows the system_profile data to be collected without the need to install the gem manually
+- Windows instances running Amazon created AMIs will now be automatically detected as running in AWS
+- Linux AWS detect has been improved and false detection of systems running in other clouds have been resolved.
 
-## run_command Deprecation
+## Packages Plugin
 
-- The run_command method in the Command mixin has been deprecated, and will be removed from Ohai 9.0.0. Shelling out should be accomplished using the shell_out method in that same mixin.
+The packages plugin no longer requires Ohai configuration to enable the plugin. Any existing configuration will be ignored and can be removed.
 
-## New Sessions Plugin
+## Shell Out Timeout
 
-- A new plugin Sessions plugin has been added for Linux hosts to collect systemd sessions information using loginctl
+Plugins that shellout via the shell_out helper will now timeout after 30 seconds to prevent hung runs. The helper also includes the ability to change this time if necessary in your own plugins.
