Changelog

[4.2.0] - 2020-06-09

Added

• Added basic support and testing for macOS Monterey.

Removed

• Removed testing and official support for macOS High Sierra.
• Removed testing and official support for Chef 16.

Fixed

• The command_line_tools OS version parsing regex has been fixed for the new macOS versioning scheme.

[4.1.0] - 2020-06-07

Added

• Added support for Chef 17. macOS High Sierra test suites will still be utilizing Chef 16.
• Added unified_mode true to all resources. See Unified Mode in Custom Resources for more information.

[4.0.0] - 2020-02-25

Removed

• Deleted last deprecated recipe macos::keep_awake and associated tests.

[3.4.3] - 2020-02-25

Fixed

• Updated XCVersion library available_versions output to actually not include "(installed)" status, as well as chomp newline characters.

• Updated unit tests to match new XCVersion.available_versions output.

[3.4.2] - 2020-02-10

Fixed

• Updated xcversion library list output to not include "(installed)" status, since this is determined separately in the xcode resource. The additional string content was breaking parsing that prevents installation on non-complete Xcode bundles such as 12 for macOS Universal Apps.

• Fixes for Cookstyle version: 7.7.2

Removed

• Removed ChefSpec testing on deprecated Fauxhai platforms

[3.4.1] - 2020-09-25

Added

• Added plist method to SystemPath library to match the methods in UserPath.

[3.4.0] - 2020-08-05

Added

• Support and testing for Big Sur. Due to a bug in the kickstart script in Big Sur, the remote_management resource is not functional on any system that reports 11.0 instead of 10.16, which is the case on 20A5323l (beta 3) or later. This will be resolved at a later date.

• Deprecation notice for macos::keep_awake.

Fixed

• The xcode resource now installs the latest available beta revision or GM seed of Xcode if there is not an official release of the requested version. Note that installing the early "Xcode 12 for macOS Universal Apps" betas is not supported since Apple has already unified these into the core Xcode bundles as of 12A8169g (beta 3).

• The macos_user resource now prevents the screen from re-locking at boot when auto-login is enabled.

• The command_line_tools OS version parsing regex has been fixed for macOS 11.0

• The automatic_software_updates resource tests have been fixed for macOS 11.0

[3.3.0] - 2020-06-18

Added

• Support for Chef 16

Fixed

• Updated the Xcode OS platform compatibility logic. Thanks @nickdowell!
• Numerous cookstyle fixes.

Removed

• Rspec dependency on chef-sugar

[3.2.1] - 2020-03-03

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with the system library where a system without hypervisor software installed could be mistakenly identified as a VM and not have certain platform-specific power preferences set.

[3.2.0] - 2019-12-09

Added

• Added an :upgrade action to the command_line_tools resource
• Added support for dictionaries to the plist resource

[3.1.0] - 2019-10-09

• Added support for Chef 15
• Added UserPath and SystemPath libraries to simplify calls to macOS filepaths

Fixed

• Fixed and updated the xcode resource platform compatibilty check (thanks to xcodereleases.com for tracking this)

Removed

• Removed testing on Chef 14
• Removed dependency on chef-sugar

[3.0.9] - 2019-09-11

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the Xcode resource cannot find the Xcode 11 GM bundle path to move it to the declared path in the resource. It removes a logic tree in favor of matching the behavior of the xcode-install gem: 74b8980546/lib/xcode/install.rb (L282), which is to replace spaces in the version listed by Apple with a period.

• Fixed an issue where installing the xcode-install gem fails on Chef 15

• Fixed an issue where the Xcode resource attempted to write to the read-only portion of the Catalina filesystem.

[3.0.8] - 2019-07-31

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Xcode versions containing whitespace were not properly quoted in command execution. Regression from version 2.10 release.

[3.0.1] - 2019-03-15

Thanks to @jkronborg for these two fixes!

Fixed

• Fixed a guard in keep_awake for use on portables.
• Fixed incorrect attribute key in the Xcode resource documentation, and added a security suggestion.

[3.0.0] - 2019-02-28

Added

• Added automatic_software_updates resource to enable or disable the automatic checking, downloading, and installing of software updates.
• Added azure-pipelines.yml to allow for managing builds as code.
• Added some resource unit tests for spotlight to complement the existing metadata_util tests.

Changed

• Changed the ard resource to remote_management and updates applicable tests and documentation. The new remote_management resource greatly simplifies syntax and reduces the needed macOS domain knowledge around kickstart options. However, it has less functionality than ard and is a significant breaking change.

Fixed

• Fixed .mailmap file to accurately track contributor emails.
• Fixed guard in the keychain resource for the :create action.

Removed

• Adiós, Captain! We no longer support OS X El Capitan or Chef 13.
• Removed machine_name resource along with respective tests and documentation in favor of the hostname resource in Chef 14.

• Removed disable_software_updates recipe along with respective tests and documentation in favor of automatic_software_updates resource.
• Removed default recipe - it was empty anyway.

[2.10.1] - 2019-01-29

Fixed

Added

• Added command_line_tools resource to manage Xcode Command Line Tools installation for macOS.
• New Xcode property download_url. (Issue #174).

Changed

[2.9.0] - 2018-12-06

Added

• Added templates for bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests to adhere with Github's recommended community standards.
• Added support for owner/group in the plist resource. Allows for plist files to be created under a specific owner. Defaults to root/wheel for compatibility with earlier versions of the cookbook. (Issue #51)
• Added support for setting the mode property when creating a plist using the plist resource. This allows control over setting the file permissions. (Issue #51)

[2.8.1] - 2018-11-29

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the path for the xcversion utility was hard-coded when installed as a Chef gem, which caused failures when converging with ChefDK or Workstation.

[2.8.0] - 2018-11-14

Added

• Sugar helps the code go down! We now depend on Chef Sugar for mac_os_x?, virtual?, mac_os_x_before_or_at_maverick?, etc.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Software Update Catalog provides an incomplete list causing some converge failures. We now check for platform_specific.empty? and produce appropriate errors.

[2.7.0] - 2018-10-26

Added

• Multi-converge testing added for all kitchen suites, idempotency enforced for select resources. Idempotency issues identified and resolved with the keep_awake recipe, the spotlight resource, and the ard resource as a result. More enforcing by the idempotence police to come in future releases.

Removed

• Removal of dead links in documentation for resources to allow for more up to date and clear documentation. (Issue #129).

Fixed

• Resolved an issue with the ard resource where a Chef run sometimes fails due to an intermittent kickstart failure. Guards added to the default resource actions to prevent this issue. (Issue #70).

[2.6.1] - 2018-10-04

Added

• The desert took its toll, the README now declares support for Mojave!

[2.6.0] - 2018-10-03

Added

• Apple has limited some kickstart command functionality in macOS Mojave, preventing screen control in some invocations. We verified the ard resource's implementation of the kickstart script still functions.

• Updated Xcode default version to 10.0.

• The team crossed the great Mojave Desert, collapsed from dehydration, all just to obtain its support. In other words we now support macOS Mojave.

Fixed

• Prevented the xcode resource from leaving available Command Line Tools downloads in Software Updates.

Deprecated

• The machine_name resource has been deprecated in favor of the macOS support in the hostname resource in Chef 14. It will be removed in the release of v3.0 of the macOS cookbook.

Fixed

• Fixed keychain resource documentation link.
• Update metadata_util library to consider Spotlight server status before manipulating indexing state. (Issue #45).

[2.3.0] - 2018-06-28

Added

• Like a trained ninja of the night, the macos_user now has a hidden property, making it impossible to detect from the login screen.
• Moved to a new set of internal Vagrant macOS boxes, which have much more minimal initial configuration. This ensures that our resources run from a more out-of-the-box macOS experience.

Fixed

• Fixed bug where deletion of a user was failing when using the macos_user resource.
• For those of you who like to set their user and password as the same characters, we fixed an issue in the certificate resource for non-Vagrant use cases, you know for normal human beings who like a secure environment.

[2.2.0] - 2018-05-29

Added

• Foodcritics can be pretty harsh in their critiquing of food. They also have some pretty in depth rules we need to comply with, so we updated machine_name to comply with the new FoodCritic rule FC115.
• Added guard config to automatically run relevant unit tests when a file is changed.
• Update to InSpec control filenames to match the standard. This allows for better understanding of the tests.
