CHANGELOG.md

Future

• package preseeding/response_file support
• package installation location via a target_dir attribute.
• [COOK-666] windows_package should support CoApp packages
• WindowsRebootHandler/windows_reboot LWRP should support kicking off subsequent chef run on reboot.

v1.8.10:

When using Windows qualified filepaths (C:/foo), the #absolute? method for URI returns true, because "C" is the scheme.

This change checks that the URI is http or https scheme, so it can be passed off to remote_file appropriately.

• [COOK-2336] - MSI That requires reboot returns with RC 3010 and causes chef run failure
• [COOK-2368] - version attribute of the windows_package provider should be documented

v1.8.2:

Important: Use powershell in nodes expanded run lists to ensure powershell is downloaded, as powershell has a dependency on this cookbook; v1.8.0 created a circular dependency.
