Chef Habitat Release Notes

Chef Habitat 1.6.1041

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Habitat Supervisor when a Supervisor is started and peers are added with --peer-watch-file. Supervisor now reads all peers in the file at startup. (#9208)
  • Fixed a bug where hab pkg install wouldn’t verify if dependencies have been removed when reinstalling a package. Habitat now reinstalls missing dependencies when reinstalling a package. (#9082)
  • Fixed a bug with the toToml helper when rendering values rather than TOML objects. (#9081)

Chef Habitat 1.6.826

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed service health data inconsistencies in the Supervisor HTTP APIs.
  • Fixed a bug with license checking when starting a chroot studio on Linux.

Chef Habitat 1.6.652

Bug Fixes

  • Updated IPC-Channel code to use older windows API so that the Supervisor maintains compatibility with Windows 7.
  • Fixed a bug in the rolling update process that could prevent a rolling update follower from updating or rolling back.

Chef Habitat 1.6.607

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes some erratic behavior in the Windows Docker studio on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.

New Experimental Feature

  • Studio-less builds. See documentation here.

Chef Habitat 1.6.521

We are announcing the release of Habitat 1.6.521. This release contains two important fixes:

  • Removes a potential deadlock in the main supervisor loop that can make a supervisor unresponsive to requests to load/unload or stop/start services. It may also prevent the supervisor from a clean shutdown and from gossiping service information to other peers.
  • Reverts a change introduced in 1.6.500 that added argument validation to hab sup run and intentionally failing the command if it included service specific arguments without providing a package identifier. This may result in supervisor auto update failures if the original hab sup run includes such args with no package identifier.

Especially due to the first bug mentioned above, we strongly recommend that customers skip updating to 1.6.513 in favor of this release.

Please read on for the changelog details.
Thanks for using Habitat!

Chef Habitat 1.6.500

We are announcing the release of Habitat 1.6.500. This release provides the following fixes and enhancements:

  • We have added validation to hab sup run to reject service specific arguments if you are not starting a service with hab sup run. For example, hab sup run --strategy at-once will fail because no service is provided. However, hab sup run core/nginx --strategy at-once will succeed because you have provided a service (nginx) to run.
  • More sophisticated backoff delay periods governing service restarts for failed init and run hooks. See the docs for a complete explanation on how to use this feature.

Please read on for all the details.

Chef Habitat 1.6.477

We are announcing the release of Habitat 1.6.477. This release provides the following fixes and enhancements:

  • Fixes an issue where the supervisor failed to run in a docker studio on Mac M1 hardware
  • Adds a --sandbox argument to hab bldr channel list allowing all channels including hidden sandbox channels to be shown. This can be helpful when trying to delete all channels in an origin.
  • Ensure the version of powershell that is used by habitat hooks sits in the front of the PSModulePath so that the correct modules will be imported by the hook.

Please read on for all the details.
