We are very happy to announce the release of version 0.9.0 of Chocolatey Central Management! This release contains a major overhaul of the underlying framework technologies that Chocolatey Central Management is built on, and a few selected features and bug fixes.
Discussed below are the main changes included in this release, but we also have a full set of release notes available providing more detail.
Removal of support for SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2
Since the initial release of Chocolatey Central Management it has been possible to use SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2 to host the database that is required. Starting with this release SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2 are no longer supported for the Chocolatey Central Management database and we recently published a blog post on this change.
Updated target .NET Framework
All components of Chocolatey Central Management (database, service, and web) have been updated to .NET 6 which is supported by Microsoft until December 2024. .NET Core 3.1, used in previous versions, is only supported to December 2022.
Chocolatey Central Management packages require a licensed computer for installation
Following on from our previous blog post, all of the Chocolatey Central Management packages now make use of the Chocolatey CLI licensed cmdlets. As a result, the computer that you install the Chocolatey Central Management packages onto, must be properly licensed.
Computer "friendly names"
Chocolatey Central Management would only show the hostname of a computer that it is managing. We have added a requested feature to allow the use of a "friendly name" instead. See this GitHub issue for more information.
