Chocolatey v0.9.9.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-10-02 // over 8 years ago

  • 🚀 With this release you can completely configure choco from the command line (including the priority of sources). Choco now allows you to create custom package templates. Choco has proper proxy support now. We also squashed up some bugs, like the infinite download loop that happens if the connection is lost. We've also improved the installation experience of Chocolatey itself, unpacking all of the required setup files in the chocolatey package and improving the messaging output during the bootstrapping process. Chocolatey also doesn't try to write config updates every command, unless something actually changes in the config file. And last but not least for mentions, the issue of choco not recognizing itself as needing upgraded after being installed by the bootstrapper is now fixed.
