[chef-dev] Re: Chef Server 12 Release Candidate

[Stephen Delano < >]

Hi all,

This morning we've released another release candidate for Chef Server 12 (12.0.0-rc3) to address a critical issue related to client permissions on node objects when upgrading from Open Source Chef Server 11.

The RC can be obtained by visiting http://downloads.getchef.com/chef-server/

Thanks to IRC and GitHub user tbunnyman for reporting the issue and filing it on the GitHub Issue Tracker [1].

If you've already upgraded from Open Source Chef Server 11 to RC2 (the first public release from Monday), you can contact Chef Support [2] and we can help get your node permissions repaired.

Cheers!

Stephen

Hey Folks,

As we've continued to test this RC, we've found a problem with OSC upgrades - pre-existing nodes don't have their permissions set correctly in all cases, which is a pretty serious problem.  

The problem is being fixed now, and we're working on getting a build out as soon as we can - hopefully today.  In the interim, I would strongly advise not using this RC to test OSC upgrades with.

Thanks for your patience,

Joseph
