[chef] 0.10.6 Release Candidate

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Hi Chefs,  

I just pushed RC 1 of Chef 0.10.6 to rubygems.org. Chef 0.10.6 has more than 
70 bug fixes and improvements, including:
* A new windows command execution backend. This adds support for environment 
variables and specifying a working directory, and should also fix issues with 
incorrect exit codes being reported.
* not_if and only_if have been updated so that they'll use our newer command 
execution backends, and also allow multiple not_if/only_if conditionals per 
resource.
* knife bootstrap can install your encrypted data bag secret
* A bug where chef-client or knife running on ruby 1.9 would encounter an 
EOFError when uploading data containing multibyte characters to a Chef server 
running SSL has been fixed.
* You can turn off the "processing" lines in the log output by setting 
verbose to false in your config file.
* There's a new handler type for issuing notifications at the beginning of a 
chef-client run
* Numerous fixes to the yum package provider
* And many more…

To try out the RC:

    gem install chef --pre

Please let us know if you find any regressions. Per our new release policy, 
we'll wait at least three days for regressions to be found before shipping a 
final release (if regressions are found, we'll create a new RC and start 
over).

Thanks!
