Support for Ruby 2.2 and Chef 12.X has been removed as both are now end of life. This gem now requires Ruby 2.3 (Chef 13) or later, which ships in all supported releases of Chef-DK.
Credentials handling has been updated to use Amazon's credentials file unless keys are specified in the knife.rb/config.rb or via the command line. This is now the preferred method of authenticating knife-ec2 with AWS as it prevents credential credential sprawl and credentials showing up in shell history. The readme authentication section has been rewritten and expanded to touch on the various methods of authenticating this plugin.
The long ago deprecated --distro and --template_file flags for knife ec2 server create have been removed. These were no longer used by knife bootstrap so this should have zero impact on knife-ec2 users.
The fog-aws gem dependency has been loosened to allow fog-aws 1.0-3.X instead of just 1.X. This adds new instance types to knife ec2 flavor list and adds support for additional regions and availability zones previously not supported.
Remove the dependency on mime-types and readline gems, which don't appear to actually be used directly.
In this release we have added separate features for tagging EC2 instances in AWS and Chef. Option --aws-tag is used for tagging the node in AWS and option --chef-tag is used for tagging the node in Chef. Subsequently the --tag-node-in-chef and --tags are now deprecated.
