Ohai Chefs!

As you probably noticed we didn't do a blog post for Chef 0.7.2's release as it was in the middle of VelocityConf. Thanks to our excellent and observant community, some bugs crept into that release, so we went ahead and updated to 0.7.4 today.

We'd like to note our MVP for 0.7.2 is Joshua Sierles, for a lot of the leg work in finding and reporting bugs related to Roles and Metadata when using Chef Solo.

For 0.7.4, MVP is Hongli Lai from Phusion. We're totally stoked to have Phusion contributing, and Hongli jumped right in with a fix for a 100% CPU utilization bug, moved search from chef-server to chef to improve spec testing, and fixed an openid authorization check in the web interface.

Other excellent members of the community had a hand in fixing bugs in both versions, including Mark Imbriaco, Joe Williams, Caleb Tennis, Matthew Kent, and Scott Likens. Thanks guys for reporting bugs and fixing them!

AJ sent out the 0.7.2 release notes already, so here's 0.7.4's. This is a small but important release.
