Hi,

I am running chef 0.8.4 on both server and client and I see the following 
behaviors:

- updating attributes in a role, uploading to the server and launching 
chef-client does not trigger the templates to be regenerated, only a 
modification of the 'source' file seems to trigger it.

- The server seems to send strange arguments:

override_attributes "haproxy" => { 
                      :backends => [
                        { :name => "ws1", :ip => "IP" },
                        { :name => "ws2", :ip => "IP2" }
                      ],
                      :listenip => 'IP'
                    }

is passed as:
"haproxy"=>{"listenip"=>"173.203.240.198", "check"=>"check.txt", 
"backends"=>[{"name"=>"ws1", "ip"=>"IP1"}, {"name"=>"ws1", "ip"=>"IP1"}]}

and

"haproxy"=>{"listenip"=>"173.203.240.198", "backends"=>{"0"=>{"name"=>"ws1", 
"ip"=>"IP1"}, "1"=>{"name"=>"ws2", "ip"=>"IP2"}}}}

in another section, I haven't been able to isolate the parent, the dump is 
too big and I have format errors.

Thanks
