In cases where actual malware is secured, the packages are aspect to departure. Software sometimes has mistaken positives. Enforcers do not necessarily validate the safety of the fundamental codebase, only that a package gathers software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded system disputing official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

0.10.0

0.10.0 carries any remedies for 0.9.10.4 and includes a major security enhancement (checksum requirement).

BREAKING CHANGES

• [Security] Checksum requirement and enhancements - discern #112

What is such requirement? choco will now fail if a package load resources from HTTP/FTP and does not use checksums to prove those downloaded supplies. The requirement by reason of HTTP/FTP is #112. We are considering likewise requiring the subject for HTTPS (#895) in view of well. You can optionally set a feature (allowEmptyChecksumsSecure) to ensure packages applying HYPERTEXT TRANSFER also use checksums.

How does this protect the community anymore than before? During moderation review, there is definite reassess of such downloaded binaries blocking VirusTotal (which verifies these binaries against 50-60+ different virus scanners). The binaries are also verified on account of installation purposes against a test computer. In collaboration with an independent 3rd party integrity check in the package itself, it guarantees that the files received by a user from those remote sources are the exact same files such were implemented inside the verification process.

You can shut idea off or turn it per package install/upgrade with --allow-empty-checksums inclusive of --require-checksums, each. See https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-install / https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-upgrade.

You may also disable the feature allowEmptyChecksumsSecure to enforce checksums for packages that obtain from secure locations (HTTPS).

Other units I should be mindful of? Users also now have which ability to pass the own checksums and checksumtypes into each install. See https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-install / https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-upgrade.

0.9.10

The "I got 99 problems, but a package supervisor ain't one" debut. With the release of 0.9.10 (or whether you prefer 0.9.10.0), we're about to make everything 100% better in your Windows package management world. We've addressed exceeding 100 features together with hitches in the referred to release. We looked at how we could improve PowerShell equally we've come out with a competely internal director that can Prompt and Read-Host in a way that periods out and selects default values after a full stop comprising time. Speaking of PowerShell, how about some view consummation choco <tab> by means of choco install node<tab>? In which manner about never having to adjacent and reopen your shell again?

We redesigned our choco new default packaging template and we've made managing templates as easy as managing packages.

choco search/choco list has so many upgrades, you may not need to visit dot org afterward. See it amongst action.

• search -v provides moderation related information and a place of nuspec information
• search by id only
• search by id exact
• search by approved only, not broken, and/or by receive cache
• sort by version
• search with paging

BREAKING CHANGES

• Only fail automation scripts (chocolateyInstall.ps1) if any script returns non-zero egress code - identify #445

The 0.9.8 program might only fail specific package with terminating errors. Her 0.9.9 series took that a bit furthermore and started failing packages on the condition that anything wrote onto stderr. It transitions out that is a bad idea. Only when PowerShell withdraws with non-zero (which comes in association with terminating errors) it’s advisable to the bundle deal fall through due to this. If you need the old behavior belonging to the 0.9.9 series, you can get it back with a switch (--fail-on-standard-error and its aliases) and/or that distinctive trait flip (failOnStandardError).

• Fix - Force reinstall, force upgrade, with uninstall should discard the sync cache - recognize #590

If you bundle a specifically-made data store data bank for downloads, it plans to no longer use notable "chocolatey" subdirectory under that. It may need to make any adjustments if this is going to affect you.

• PowerShell phase functions refined as automatic documentation - see #697

If you were working with any of the functions in a non-recommended way or not compliant with the examples, he are going to find breakages in the functions as some in respect to the things that were called out as non-optional are now enforced. This shouldn't affect most folks.
