Hi,

Sorry if I'm missing it, but is there a detailed changelog? The changes in the blog post are mostly infrastructure changes on the backend, but how does the API change (or does it?). How about chef11 clients, will there be a chef12 client?

Thanks,

-Eric Helgeson

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
