Microsoft has updated the Windows Package Manager (Winget) to version 0.2.10971. This version contains the first implementation for the group policy (user / system) and searching with a REST source.
The group policies (.admx and .adml) will then be provided with the next preview. Some packages support one or more installation scopes. Settings and a command line argument have been added to specify either “User” or “System” for manifests with the appropriate values and configuration.
Third-party repositories are activated via a REST API. This version includes the second round of implementation work, which includes the ability to search for packages against a REST-based source. There will be more information here in the near future and a reference implementation will be made available in another open source repository.
The new functions in short:
- Group Policy Management support
- User vs. system installation (not MSIX)
- Experimental support for Repository REST API was added.
