New in v1.28

• Bumped the winget version to 1.28 to match the package version.
• Additional options for limiting the size of log files.

Experimental Feature: 'sourceEdit'

New feature that adds an 'edit' subcommand to the 'source' command. This can be used to set an explicit source to be implicit and vice-versa. For example, with this feature you can make the 'winget-font' source an implicit source instead of explicit source.

To enable this feature, add the 'sourceEdit' experimental feature to your settings.

"experimentalFeatures": {
"sourceEdit": true
},

To use the feature, try winget source edit winget-font to set the Explicit state to the default.

Bug Fixes

• Portable Packages now use the correct directory separators regardless of which convention is used in the manifest
• --suppress-initial-details now works with winget configure test
• --suppress-initial-details no longer requires --accept-configuration-agreements
• Corrected property of Font experimental feature to accurately reflect fonts as the required setting value
