Hello!

We’ve just released new prerelease versions of the 5 main Chocolatey Components:
These are beta releases for a new major version of each component.

Notable changes in these releases include:
  • These are prerelease packages, and it is NOT recommended for use on a production system
  • All components now require .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed
  • It is now possible to install/upgrade packages from a NuGet v3 feed, rather than only from a NuGet v2 feed
  • A number of breaking changes have been introduced into Chocolatey CLI to account for long awaited changes to how Chocolatey functions
  • Infrastructure ("behind the scenes") work, getting ready for the upcoming final release
If you are interested in trying out the prerelease versions of the commercial Chocolatey components, then please reach out to the support team, as they will be able to provide download and installation instructions.

Run the `choco support` command for more information on how to reach out to support.

The main focus of this release was moving towards finalizing the last remaining items that need to go into the final release. A lot of work that was done was "behind the scenes" work, with very few visible changes to the end user.

If you run into any issues with this release, please comment on the discussion here:
