[chef] Berkshelf 1.4.0 released

[Jamie Winsor < >]

Hey Chefs,

We just released Berkshelf 1.4.0. There is a big change in this release for how we handle uploading cookbooks.

• Cookbooks will now be frozen on upload by default
• Cookbooks can be re-uploaded by passing the --force flag
• If you don't want to freeze your cookbooks you can pass the --no-freeze flag
• Dependencies will not be uploaded if they are already present and frozen on the server. Passing the --halt-on-frozen flag will cause Berkshelf to exit with an error if it encounters a dependency which was frozen.

Some other highlights:

• Add `berks info` command for displaying information about cookbooks in your Berkshelf
• Add `berks contingent` command for displaying a list of cookbooks which are dependent upon one another
• Cookbook generator now has the option of generating chef minispec files (false by default)
• Fix bug in downloading cookbooks which were packaged as plain tars instead of tar.gzs
• Path locations will now be relative to the Berksfile they are defined in

Full list of changes is here: https://github.com/RiotGames/berkshelf/compare/v1.3.1...v1.4.0
