[chef-dev] Chef Client 12.0.0.alpha.1 Release

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Hi Chefs,  

I released Chef Client 12.0.0.alpha.1 to rubygems. As was the case with the 
previous release, I shipped this version only to satisfy our dependency 
requirements in chef-dk (which cannot use git-sourced gems in the Gemfile 
because of our build process).

You are of course welcome to use it if you wish, but we aren’t actively 
seeking help with testing (hence the ‘alpha’ version), nor have we tested the 
release rigorously. So unless you’re feeling adventurous, you can probably 
just ignore it.

For the curious, this latest alpha release contains a patch to make Chef 
respect the `name` attribute in your cookbook metadata 
(https://github.com/opscode/chef/pull/1790), which I needed to pull in to 
ChefDK to make some of the Policyfile code work correctly (more about 
Policyfiles here: 
https://github.com/opscode/chef-dk/blob/master/POLICYFILE_README.md)
