Although the CHEF-1423 ticket was tagged for the 0.9.12 release, it
did not make it into the release.  A good way to get an overview of
what _did_ make it into a particular release is to look at the release
notes:

In the meantime, we have been working on integrating cookbook version
constraint logic into Chef and making the syntax for specifying
version constraints more consistent.  What has been implemented on the
master branch is described here:

The syntax changed from the original ticket; to peg a cookbook version
in a run list item, use '@':

   
"recipe[accounts::
 "

If you are willing and able to run some tests against master, you
should be able to test the feature and we would be interested in any
feedback you have.

We are hoping to include this work in the next minor release of Chef (0.10.0),
but what is and is not in the release is not yet written in stone.
