----------------------------------------
* NEW #46: Markus implemented node synching using rsync instead of data upload,
    substantially speeding up node configuration runs. All cookbooks are now
    synchronized, instead of only those needed by the configuration run
* NEW #16: Markus implemented search support for data bags

    It contains everything defined in each nodes/mynode.json file, plus "recipes"

    "roles" (expanded role list), merged attributes (from cookbook, node and roles)

    Chef Solo
* NEW #55: Markus added a library file that allows to set "chef_environment" in a
    role or node attribute

* NEW #54: Multi-node execution: a list of nodes to be configured can now be given.
    The nodes will be configured preserving order
* NEW: Removed "configure" command. It will be assumed to be the desired action if
    no other command is given. Just typing "fix node:X" will configure node X
