Features

In this initial version

• read-only access to a chef server. Write access is not far away, but the priority for this initial release was UI polish
• Exploring nodes, registrations, cookbooks (no template content for now due to a REST API limitation).
• Access to the search indexes
• Live filtering / matching in node and search results.

Planned for next version

• Saving search requests
• Read/Write support: changing attributes, tags and recipes
• Connecting to multiple chef servers
• MacRuby integration (testing cookbooks from Casserole ? pushing configs to the server ?)
• Support for the cookbooks role and metadata architecture when it's available
• Better integration with present and future Chef awesomeness

Requirements

Mac OS X 10.5 and a Chef Server installation somewhere (0.6.2 only)

Building from Source

Open Casserole.xcodeproj and build, or use xcodebuild in command-line.
