Is the issue the capitalization? I didnt see anything in the changelog that mentioned that directly.

@lhriley-tm Just wanted to let you know that the tiny patch I have submitted in #81 will correct this issue, as soon as another member form the team hits the merge button and we bump the version number you should be good to go.

@lhriley-tm

The patch has been applied to master and we will be doing some more testing to make sure there are no other suprises from the latest chef-client release.

Until we get a new version release, you can point directly to master to get going again. I'm going to close the issue, but feel free to comment if you have any concerns.

Excellent. Thanks!
