Chocolatey v0.10.7 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-08 // almost 7 years ago

  • 💥 BREAKING CHANGES

    • Set requested execution level back to asInvoker while determining more advanced elevated scenarios - see #1324

    After much deliberation with the community, we're moving execution policy back to the default of asInvoker to make it work like it did prior to 0.10.4. However we are leaving it open for you to change it to whatever execution level you want by keeping the manifest external from choco.exe. We will be looking more at advanced scenarios - the discussion is at #1307. If you don't have a GitHub account, feel free to start a thread on the mailing list (and if you are a customer, you have private channels to voice your opinions on this change).

    Moving to "asInvoker" means that Chocolatey will not ask for elevated privileges prior to execution, so you will need to remember to do that yourself. If you go to $env:ChocolateyInstall, you will find choco.exe.manifest, and you have freedom to adjust the execution level as you see fit. There is one catch, you will need to do it on every install/upgrade of Chocolatey until #1206 is implemented.
