This release adds a feature for setting user passwords on Solaris, fixes a bug in Resource.const_defined?, and adds SSL root certificates to the Omnibus packages.
Ranjib Dey added support for Google Cloud Engine Linux (GCEL), Google’s Ubuntu derivative. Thanks Ranjib! You’re this releases MVP! In addition to building out more cloud support, Ranjib has been a great addition to the community, helping many others with Chef and Chef testing. Lately he’s been working on chef-stage which provides an LWRP for multi-stage Chef client runs.
Zac Stevens and Matthew Horan helped improve the error that resulted when you tried to replace a frozen cookbook.
Aaron Blythe found an issue with haml >= 4.0.0 and fixed it with a version constraint.
