Chocolatey v0.10.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-09-30 // over 7 years ago

  • 🚀 We're dubbing this the "Every Joe" release in honor of a friend that just lost his fight with brain cancer. If you want to help further research, please make a donation to a cancer research association of your choosing (e.g. the American Brain Tumor Assocation).

    🚀 A couple of important fixes/enhancements in this release. Most of the improvements are about providing better feedback to you and fixing minor issues. The big one surrounds when packages set a download path for a file using $env:TEMP, choco will ensure that the file can still be found for later use.
