Microsoft has released Windows Package Manager 1.11.400, the release candidate of WinGet 1.11, incorporating several enhancements to optimize package management. The tasks involve incorporating DSCV3 user-settings resources, resolving issues with debug builds using VCPKG, and facilitating the export of package-related DSCV3 resources. The package also includes a vcpkg overlay for cpprestsdk and libyaml, which helps with preview DSC while it's still being tested and turns on developer mode. The package additionally comprises a Microsoft.Windows.Settings module designed for the activation of developer mode. The package includes fixes for problems with connecting to the catalog, system crashes, and improvements to DSC command descriptions, libyaml vcpkg port versions, and store endpoint certificates. The package additionally encompasses support for DSCv3 within configured PowerShell modules, along with updates to the release notes.
