0.9.9 (March 3, 2015)

This also includes issues that were being tracked in the old Chocolatey repository: Chocolatey 0.9.9.

The two links above will not capture everything that has changed, since this is a complete rewrite. We broke everything. If this were a v1+, it would be a major release. But we are less than v1, so 0.9.9 it is! ;)

Okay, so we didn't really break everything. We have maintained nearly full compatibility with how you pass options into choco, although the output may be a bit different (but better, we hope) and in at least one case, additional switches (or a feature setting) is/are required - we limited this to security related changes only.

We also fixed and improved a bunch of things, so we feel the trade off is well worth the changes.

We'll try to capture everything here that you should know about. Please call choco -? or choco.exe -h to get started.

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Known Issues
  • TEMPORARY install all is missing - this is expected to be back in 0.9.10 - see #23
  • Alternative sources (webpi,ruby,python,cygwin, windowsfeature) do not work yet. This is expected to be fixed in 0.9.10 - see #14
  • Progress bar is missing when downloading until we are using internal posh components for Packages - see #56
  • See Feature Parity for items not yet reimplemented from older PowerShell Chocolatey client (v0.9.8.32 and below).

BREAKING CHANGES

  • [Security] Prompt for confirmation: For security reasons, we now stop for confirmation before changing the state of the system on most commands. You can pass -y to confirm any prompts or set a value in the config that will globally confirm - see #52 (NOTE: This is one of those additional switches we were talking about)
  • [Security] If your default installation is still at c:\Chocolatey, this version will force a move to ProgramData and update the environment settings - see #7
  • Configuration Breaking Changes:
    1. You now have one config file to interact with in %ChocolateyInstall%\config - your user config is no longer valid and can be removed once you migrate settings to the config.
    2. The config will no longer be overwritten on upgrade.
    3. Choco no longer interacts with NuGet's config file at all. You will need to reset all of your apiKeys (see features for apikey). On the plus side, the keys will work for all users of the machine, unlike NuGet's apiKeys (only work for the user that sets them).
    4. This also means you can no longer use useNugetForSources. It has been removed as a config setting.
  • Packaging Changes:
    1. Choco now installs packages without version numbers on folders. This means quite a few things...
    2. Upgrading packages doesn't install a new version next to an old version, it actually upgrades.
    3. Dependencies resolve at highest available version, not the minimum version as before - see Chocolatey #415
  • Package Maintenance Changes:
    1. Read the above about apikey changes
    2. Read above about dependency resolution changes.
  • Deprecated/Removed Commands:
    1. installmissing has been removed. It was deprecated awhile ago, so this should not be a surprise.
    2. choco version has been deprecated and will be removed in v1. Use choco upgrade pkgName --noop or choco upgrade pkgName -whatif instead.
    3. Write-ChocolateySuccess, Write-ChocolateyFailure have been deprecated.
    4. update is now upgrade. update has been deprecated and will be removed/replaced in v1. Update will be reincarnated later for a different purpose. Hint: It rhymes with smackage pindexes.

  • Update only runs if newer version detected.
  • Calling update with no arguments will update chocolatey.

##0.9.7 (April 29, 2011)

FEATURES:

  • New helper added Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage - this was previously part of the download & install and has been broken out.
  • New chocolatey command! Version allows you to see if a package you have installed is the most up to date. Leave out package and it will check for chocolatey itself.
