After a long personal hiatus (sorry!), this is the last minor release before 1.0 of the cookbook. If you can handle the Docker port number change and don't use anything deprecated, upgrading to 1.0.X from 0.35.X of the cookbook should be very easy.

This release has a bunch of changes and hasn't been fully tested yet. Wanted to get it out there for broad testing. Please use caution!

Major kudos to @tduffield for the #147 PR, which includes:

• Binary Installation
  • Added missing dependency resolution for using the binary.
• Dependency Checks
  • Added docker::dep_check that will take an action if certain dependencies are not met.
    • node[docker][alert_on_error_action] = :fatal will kill the chef run and print the error message.
    • node[docker][alert_on_error_action] = :warn will print the error message but continue with the chef run. There is no guarantee that it will succeed though.
• KitchenCI
  • Copied MiniTests to ServerSpec Tests
  • Added new platforms (Debian 7.4)
  • Changed provisioner from chef-solo to chef-zero
  • Removed Ubuntu 12.10 because it is not supported by Docker and the Kernel is bad and fails all the tests.
  • Removed tests for the source recipe. The dotcloud/docker repo actually doesn’t build any Go deliverables.
    • I think that the source recipe needs to be completely refactored.
