This release contains several bug fixes related to parsing portable and zip installers for both the new and update command. There is now support for overriding the scope of a provided installer URL. This can be done by appending the intended scope value to the end of the installer url using the | character. Make sure to enclose the entire string in quotes since the | symbol is a special character in terminal.

"<installerUrl>|user"

Submitting manifests to the Windows Package Manager Community repository is still supported; however, manifests updated or generated by this release will have the manifest version set to 1.4, which is currently not yet supported in our package validation process and will fail PR validation. 1.4 manifest support will become available once we have released v1.4 of the Windows Package Manager.

Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator v1.0

After receiving great feedback from the community, we're excited to transition to our stable v1.0 of Winget-Create. We will continue to iterate on this tool to align with any future manifest schema changes. We believe the core functionality that we have here should allow users to generate new manifests, update existing ones, and submit their packages directly to the Windows Package Manager Community Repository.

Changes:

• 665139817b34194b7fa77efd328265f5d32bbc11 Apply fast-forward update to default branch of forked repo prior to submission (#235)

• 7fb5f1901a8d5fd823689dc661295ba015c30799 Fix build pipeline for transition to VS2022 (#232)

This version of Winget-Create adds v1.1 Schema support for creating and updating manifests. We have also made improvements to our installer matching logic by matching compatible installerTypes as well as ensuring field values are consistent during updates.

Special thanks to @jedieaston for improving our WiX detection and @crutkas , @isaacrlevin, @leonardder, and @Trenly for identifying bugs, filing issues, and helping us improve our tool.

• 74de45815475bfbd89cc103341a62b1024ce687d trim urls before updating (#216)

This version of Winget-Create adds a feature to allow users to override the architecture of an installer they provide. To do so, simply use the '|' character as a separator between the url and architecture. You will also need to enclose the entire joined string in quotations as '|' is a reserved character in terminal.

Example: wingetcreate update foo.bar -u "fooBarInstaller.exe|x86"

To tool will still continue to match new installers to existing installers based on the overriding architecture, url-detected architecture, and binary architecture so make sure that it can deterministically find a match.

We've also added additional checks so that any fields with empty strings are removed from the outputted manifest.
