BREAKING CHANGE:

The 4.0 release of the Ohai cookbook removes the previous cookbook_file behavior that required forking the cookbook and adding your own plugins. Instead the cookbook ships with a new ohai_plugin custom resource for installing plugins. In addition to this new custom resource the cookbook now requires Chef 12+. See the readme and test recipe for examples. If you require Chef 11 support you'll need to pin to version 3.0 in your environment.

• Fixed the Chefspec matchers

v3.0.0 (2016-03-14)

• Change the default value for node['ohai']['hints_path'] to use the Ohai config value. This should be the same value in most use cases, but if a custom path is specified in the chef client config this value will get used automatically by the cookbook.
• Removed backwards compatibility with Chefspec < 4.1 in the matchers library
• Fix bad link to the custom Ohai plugin documentation in the readme
• Improve documentation for node['ohai']['plugin_path']

v2.1.0 (2016-01-26)

• Properly handle creating ohai hints without specifying the content. Previously if the content wasn't specified a deprecation notice would be thrown and the file would not be created
• Simplified the test suite and added inspec tests to ensure hints are created, especially if the content is not specified
• Added FreeBSD and Windows as supported platform in the metadata and add them to the Test Kitchen config
• Add Test Kitchen integration tests to Travis CI
• Updated testing Gems to the latest releases in the Gemfile
