[chef] Re: Re: Chef 11 Released!

[Adam Edwards < >]

Jeff, thanks for asking, we'll update the release notes to be more
specific about the Windows work, which spanned a range of changes from
fixing log output to improving performance of chef-client on the Windows
platform. 

A bigger bang piece of work is the new registry_key resource
(http://docs.opscode.com/resource_registry_key.html) that lets you
manipulate the registry without including the Windows cookbook. A nice new
feature there is the ability to control the registry's architecture
through the :architecture attribute -- automation tasks often need
explicit control over reading / writing to / from the 32-bit or 64-bit
view of the registry, and that's what this resource gives you.

You can do so much on *nix platforms with core resources, and I personally
like being able to have more of that experience on Windows.

-Adam
