Chocolatey 1.0.0 got released last week (chocolatey/choco · GitHub)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/24
Last week finally there was the stable [Wayback/Archive] Release version 1.0.0 · chocolatey/choco · GitHub.
So I fixed the Wikipedia page
- from: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey – Wikipedia (only mentioning 0.12.1 preview release)
- to: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey – Wikipedia (now including the 1.0.0 stable release)
It was a few days after the 11th birthday “Celebration”: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software Blog | This One Goes To 11! Celebrating 11 Years Of Chocolatey. Not a really festive post, though it does have a really nice overview of 11 years of Chocolatey history and clearly showing the momentum of it has been a few years behind us.
The thing is: hardly anybody noticed the celebration nor the 1.0.0 release. Being at various 0.* versions for like a decade makes people not follow sudden version bumps closely. I only noticed when updating a bunch of testing VMs of which one had a problem, so I inspected the logs and saw the 1.0.0 version.
So these recent tweets did not gain much attention:
- 20220321: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey on Twitter: “Join us in ONE HOUR to mark a milestone in Chocolatey history! No excuses. Take the dog out. Grab a coffee. Sit down. Watch us on Twitch. 4pm UTC. “
- 20220320: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey on Twitter: “Join the Chocolatey Team TOMORROW, 21 March, and mark a milestone in Chocolatey history! On Twitch. 4pm UTC. And join our Discord server for a little thank you to our Community. “
- 20220317: [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey on Twitter: “ICYMI we have a … special event marking a milestone in Chocolatey history this Monday, 21 March at 4pm UTC. Join @pauby, @gep13 and the @chocolateynuget Team. And join our Discord server for a little thank you to our Community. “
Anyway: the release notes indicate a few things scheduled for 2.0.0. Given the sudden 0.12.0 -> 1.0.0 bump, I have no clue far (or near!) in the future that will be.
It is kind of both a saddening and relieved feeling: like for instance Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange (both in the same age cohort as Chocolatey), Chocolatey is just there and mostly works.
