Chocolatey v0.10.6 Release Notes
Release Date: 2017-06-01 // almost 7 years ago-
๐ This release includes fixes and adjustments to the API to make it more usable. Search / List has also been improved with the data that it returns when verbose/detailed, along with info always returning a package with information instead of erroring sometimes. The search results from the community package repository now match what you see on the website.
