Pre-release

This release includes several new features related to the experimental Microsoft Store source. The REST API now has support for source level agreements, and an HTTP header pass through. Packages can also have agreements a user must accept before downloading and installing a package. We have also made improvements for handling silent installation with MSI UAC issues, and deferred registration for MSIX packages. A new experimental feature will show dependencies listed in a package manifest. The COM API is now considered a stable feature, and has been removed from experimental features. We have also started the work to begin supporting the new v1.1 schema #1243. The implementation for these new keys will follow in subsequent releases.

Thanks to @ChungZH for making some UX improvements to show how many upgrades are available, and displaying the version number during install.

Features

#200 Require EULA/TOS acceptance before download starts.
#893 Add support for an arbitrary HTTP header value in REST API
#967 Max Installer nodes 1024
#1012 Experimental Show dependencies
#1174 Added "doProgressTimeoutInSeconds" Setting

This release fixes a few bugs. The first one is related to users and installers executing [Ctrl]+[c]. The next is a fallback when Delivery Optimization encounters failures. The last one addresses permissions inherited from the directory installers are saved to, and may also help with some installers due to long path names.

Bugs

#189 Discord does not install
#1060 Fails to update program, error 0x801901a0
#1076 winget install results in 0x80d03002 : unknown error

Notes

Over the coming weeks we will be making changes to version numbers for the App Installer shipped in the Microsoft Store. We will be making some space for servicing agility so we can continue to iterate quickly with our preview releases. This version will be published to all Windows Insider channels and the Windows Package Manager Insiders.

Going forward, development releases will be published to Windows Insider Dev channel and Windows Package Manager Insiders. We will leverage Windows Insider Beta channel for servicing issues, and the Windows Insider Release Preview channel for future release candidates.

If you want the latest preview releases, there will be three choices.

  1. Join the Windows Package Manager Insider program.
  2. Run a Windows Insider Dev channel build.
  3. Download the preview releases from GitHub.

Any users on released versions of Windows who have downloaded releases from this GitHub repository should ensure they download and install this release to ensure continuity of access to the Windows Package Manager. With this release we are discontinuing support for versions of Windows 10 prior to version 1809.

This release includes the initial implementations for group policy, user vs. machine scope, and search against a REST source.

Group Policy will be implemented via ADMX Ingestion. The .admx and .adml files will be provided in the next release of the Windows Package Manager preview.

Some packages support one or more installation scopes. Settings and a command line argument have been added to specify either "User" or "Machine" for manifests with the proper values and configuration. Additional details available in the PR #819 Settings and command line argument for specifying scope.

Third party repositories will be enabled via a REST API. This release includes the second round of implementation work which includes the ability to search for packages against a REST based source. A reference implementation will be provided in a different open-source repository in the coming months.

Windows Package Manager v0.2.10771 Preview

This release includes a few new features as well as some improvements and bug fixes.

The most noteworthy new experimental feature is winget import. You can pass a properly formatted JSON file using import, and the Windows Package Manager will install multiple packages with one command. Note: some packages trigger a reset in the shell or terminal so you will see an incorrect failure notification. In the event one of these packages is included in an import, the import command will not finish unless it is the last package installed.

Known packages are:

  • Microsoft.PowerShell
  • Microsoft.PowerShell-Preview
  • Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
  • Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview

Users can now opt-out of Windows Package Manager telemetry using winget settings. The Windows telemetry settings still take precedence if they are disabled.

The Windows Package Manager validation command has been updated to support the new v1.0 manifest schemas.

Some packages return a non-zero success code after the package has been installed. Once the v1.0 manifest schemas are in place, these non-zero success codes can be added to manifests and client will no longer report an install failure if one is returned.

New Features

#137 Support non-zero exit codes as success (requires manifest version 1.0)
#220 Added Experimental support to import multiple packages from a file
#279 Opt-Out of Telemetry
#740 Support for manifest v1.0 schema validation

Bug Fixes

#794 The Experimental Upgrade command now correctly selects the latest version of a package

Note

Binaries removed. We have discontinued support for versions of Windows 10 prior to version 1809.

Improvements

#648 Workflow improvements to increase winget command success rate
