Description

I'm the Technical Engineering Manager at Chocolatey Software, Inc. and I wanted to make sure you are aware that there will be a new major release of Chocolatey products soon. As it is a major release, we are making changes that may have an impact on the Chocolatey cookbook, such as #13368.

We have beta versions of Chocolatey CLI and Chocolatey GUI publicly available that you can test against.

The release notes for the various products are below (some may or may not be applicable to the module, but I wanted to list them all for completeness):

We have no fixed date for release as yet, but it is coming soon.

Apologies for the non-standard issue (I could not find any other way to contact the team). Please let me know if I can help in any way.
