I am in the insider program, I got email with link to fetch the update via store. Not on a insider build in that PC though.

And the package delivered by the store, before and after uninstall, is supposedly 1.x not 0.2

Well, maybe some databases not synchronized yet.

I can’t think of any, editing the release notes when the build hits the store and keeping the latest release marked latest would be the best move so people can know there’s a manual update available to fix bugs.

What would be even better is if we could do winget upgrade --all and have winget upgraded, but I just tried that with a local manifest and since winget has to close to complete the upgrade, it just kind of stops (the upgrade completes successfully, but the progress bar stops at 21% since that’s when the old version of winget is closed and there is never a message that install failed or succeeded). I don’t know a great solution to that, other than having another copy of winget somewhere that is only used for bootstrapping winget, but it’s a use case to think about.
