[chef] Chef Zero 4.1 Released

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Hi Chefs,  

We’ve just released Chef Zero 4.1.0. This release adds support for socketless 
in-memory requests. Along with a corresponding change to chef-client, this 
lets you run Chef Client and Knife in local mode without binding to a 
port—requests get routed directly to Chef Zero in-memory. By default, all 
requests to the local mode server will use this mechanism, though for 
compatibility reasons, Chef Zero will still bind to a port by default. To 
disable networking for the Chef Zero server, you can use the `--no-listen` 
command line flag or set `listen false` in your config file.

The Chef Client change is expected to ship in the next feature release of 
Chef Client (12.3.0). You can follow our progress on the Chef Client portion 
of the patch here: https://github.com/chef/chef/pull/3160

Happy Cheffing!
