Releases for January 2016 2016-01-14

I’ve put up a big burst of new cookbooks so I wanted to give everyone a quick overview of the highlights:

application 5.1.0

• New resources application_cookbook_file, application_file, and application_template.

monit 1.0.0

• Major release, converted to a wrapper for poise-monit.

poise 2.5.0

• New property for inversion resources: provider_no_auto. Set one or more provider names that will be ignored for automatic resolution for that instance.
• Support variables as an alias for options in template content properties to match the template resource.
• New helper: poise_shell_out. Like normal shell_out but sets group and environment variables automatically to better defaults.

poise-javascript 1.0.1

• Update for Chef 12.6 compatibility.
• Update version list for nodejs provider.

poise-languages 1.3.1

• Fix system package installs on OS X.
• %{machine_label} is available in URL template for static download.
• Automatically retry remote_file downloads to handle transient HTTP failures.
• All *_shell_out language command helpers use poise_shell_out to set $HOME and other environment variables by default.

poise-monit 1.0.1

• The initial release and a quick bug fix.

poise-python 1.2.0

• Add support for passing user and group to pip_requirements.
• Allow passing a virtualenv resource object to the virtualenv property.
• Update PyPy release versions.
• Make the python_virtualenv resource check for ./bin/python for idempotence instead of the base path.
• Support for packages with extras in python_package.
• Support for point releases (7.1, 8.1, etc) of Debian in the system provider.

poise-service 1.1.0

• Added inittab provider to manage services using old-fashioned /etc/inittab.
• Set GID correctly in all service providers.
• Allow overriding the path to the generated sysvinit script.

poise-service-monit 1.0.0
