0.6.5-pre2

🎉🎉🎉 YAML typed and archived manifests could be installed 🎉🎉🎉

Let's start 2022 with the new release with the major rewrite of the manifest handling. And repository moves.
Scoop-Core will be moved under shovel-org/Shovel on the final 0.6.5 release

Docker images will be published later today.

Codebase is ready to be easily extended with other extensions. But right now there is no plan to adopt something else than yaml/json.

Installation of single-executables now works under *nix with support for directory junction of persist/current application directory. Archive/Shimming support and in general better *nix support will come in next versions.

Last command, which is missing the new adoption is info. It should eventually come next week.

  • Support YML manifests
  • Support all various syntaxes for passing of applications. URL, local path, archived local, archived remote, archived lookup
    • See scoop install --help for every supported syntax
  • Dependencies are now marked in scoop-install.json
  • Dependencies resolve is implemented differently
• scoop-virustotal:
  • Adopt Resolve-ManifestInformation
  • Rename parameter no-depends (-n) to independent (-i) for consistency with other commands
  • Support YML manifests
