Windows Package Manager 1.3.2691

This is the second stable release of the Windows Package Manager 1.3.

This release is just for the sake of transparency for Windows Package Manager users. This ensures that the GitHub release is aligned with any changes related to AppInstaller. The changes associated with this release only affect AppInstaller. No additional features or bug fixes related to winget were included.

Experimental features are disabled in this release.

Windows Package Manager 1.3.2091

This release is the first stable release of Windows Package Manager 1.3.

This release represents our fourth Windows Package Manager 1.3 release candidate build for Windows 10 (1809+), and Windows 11.

This release addresses several bugs related to installing a portable package such as incorrectly displaying a file overwrite warning message, failing to create a symlink if developer mode is not enabled or not running in admin, and not preserving scope when upgrading.

Experimental features have been disabled in this release. We will follow this release with another Pre-release "developer" build at GitHub so users can continue with experimental features available.

>Note: The Windows Package Manager Community Repository does not accept portable applications. They will not be accepted until after 1.3 is Generally Available and has been rolled out to the majority of Windows systems via the automatic upgrade from the Microsoft Store. Users may test with local manifests.

They will not be accepted until after 1.3 is Generally Available and has been rolled out to the majority of Windows systems via the automatic upgrade from the Microsoft Store.

Windows Package Manager 1.3.1251-preview

This is the second development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.2 build for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11.

Experimental features are enabled in this release. This build will be released to Windows Insider Dev builds, and Windows Package Manager Insiders. We're going to get another preview build at GitHub to include upgrade and uninstall for portable packages.

Features

• Setting for always using verbose logs
• winget --info should print the system architecture
• An even better progress bar

The most notable new experimental feature is support for installing portable applications.

Note: The upgrade and uninstall behaviors have not been implemented. The community repository does not accept portable applications either. Users may test with local manifests but will need to manually clean up entries in Windows Apps & Features if this is used to install a portable application.

The COM API has also been extended to support for uninstall.

Note: This is part of the work that is a prerequisite to having native PowerShell support. The cmdlets will be able to leverage the COM API to get rich objects out.

We've started working on an "In-proc" COM NuGet package that will be leveraged by Intune and other MDM solutions to support remote system context execution. This will not be considered GA and supported until it reaches version 1.0.

• Allow winget to install MS Store packages without account just like the MS Store
