Foodcritic Changelog:

10.4.0 (2017-04-13)

Full Changelog

Implemented enhancements:

Added FC076 to alert when the deprecated conflicts metadata is used
Added FC077 to alert when the deprecated replaces metadata is used
Added FC076 to alert when a non-OSI-approved license is used in metadata. You can disable this rule turning off the new opensource tag. For example: foodcritic -t ~opensource .

Fixed bugs:

Regression tests now ignore .foodcritic files so we see all possible failures
FC053 / FC052 updated to properly refer the metadata as deprecated and not unimplemented
FC071 no longer alerts when cookbooks are licensed as "All Rights Reserved"

10.3.1 (2017-04-10)

10.3.0 (2017-04-10)

Full Changelog

Implemented enhancements:

Added FC069 to ensure standardized licenses are defined in metadata
Added FC070 to detect invalid platform supports in metadata
Added FC071 to ensure a LICENSE file is included with the cookbook
Added FC072 to detect attributes defined in metadata
Added FC073 to detect root alias collisions with non-root alias files
Added FC074 to detect setting the default_action in a LWRP without using the default_action DSL
Added FC075 to detect node.save usage
Updated FC008 to fail if the ChefDK generated boilerplate is included
Updated FC024 to not recommend adding amazon as an equivalent platform to Redhat as Amazon is its own platform family in Chef 13
Updated FC045 to no longer fail if metadata.rb cannot be found
Added support for the Chef 13 root alias cookbook structure changes defined in https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc033-root-aliases.md
Testing has been completed reworked to simplify testing and allow for far more robust functional tests. Minitest unit tests have been converted to rspec and a new functional testing framework has been added utilizing rspec. Tests for a large number of the existing rules have been converted to this new framework. The new testing framework allows for simple all-in-one tests that are easier to read and much simpler to write. Additionally the regression tests have been reworked, and are now enabled in Travis CI, which will require regeneration of the expected output if new tests are added using rake regen_regression. See the readme for additional details on running tests.
