Hi,

   I've done a bit of searching for the internal bug report but was
unable to find a record of it.  However, I know from personal
experience that this issue was identified many moons ago as an
Enterprise Chef vs Open Source difference (before the erchef goodness
for search came to Open Source). Unfortunately, it seems that
information never made its way over to the breaking changes page.
I've cc'd James, who can help get that page updated.

If I recall correctly, the consensus at the time was that not
supporting newlines was the desired behavior.

Cheers,

Steven
