Hey Chefs. We'll be tidying up Chef 10.14.0 and cutting a release
candidate soon. I haven't heard of any regressions in 10.12.0, so let
me know if anything knocked you over please.

We've proposed expanding the "depends" DSL to take an optional
platform_family requirement, e.g.:

depends "windows", "windows"
depends "apt", "debian"

Any thoughts on that? Are we missing uses cases? You can follow up on
CHEF-3282 [1].

To merge:
  CHEF-3092 - knife cookbook upload -a should batch uploads
  CHEF-3178 - cron provider does not support month names and weekday names
  CHEF-3254 - Run garbage collector before sleeping
  CHEF-3280 - Permit chef to run solr searches with @ in terms
  CHEF-3273 - Webui returning "undefined method `empty?' for
nil:NilClass" on invalid files
  COOK-811 - Windows package provider does not pass through a timeout attribute
  COOK-1296 - move build-essential installation to compile-time and
platform_family-ize it
  COOK-1136 - Runit cookbook doesn't set owner/group for the supervise directory
  COOK-1291 - Snapshot retention policy confusing
  COOK-1298 - Re-factor NTP recipe into a reference cookbook for testing
  COOK-1237 - Mysql cookbook downloads windows cookbook which causes
issues on other systems

Other:
  KNIFE_EC2-67 - Add an option to bind instance to elastic ip prior to bootstrap
  Reopened - Ask the mailing list

  CHEF-3270 - Permit chef to be run in empty env
