[chef] Apache2 Cookbook v2.0.0 Released

[Sander van Zoest < >]

Hi everyone,

It has been a long time coming, but the day has finally come! It has been about 10 months since the OneHealth team started working on Apache 2.4 support in the apache2 cookbook. I am glad to announce that with all of your feedback and support we are ready to release this work.

There is still plenty to do for the cookbook and welcome any feedback for future releases, but it is a great milestone to get this released. The cookbook still supports apache httpd 2.2, however, it does it in a more 2.4 compatible way. Because of this some configuration files and directives will not load correctly without making updates to your templates and cookbooks.

We have bumped the major version number to reflect the significant amount of changes and incompatibility you may experience. It may be a drop in replacement for some, but very likely not for many of you. It is unlikely this new version is fully compatible with your existing cookbooks!

Please look at the CHANGELOG for an overview of the changes.

You should lock your infrastructure at apache2 < 2.0.0 until you are ready to upgrade.

Environment locks:

{
  "cookbook_versions": {
    "apache2": "< 2.0.0"
  }
}

Berkshelf or Librarian:

cookbook 'apache2', '< 2.0.0'
