Introduction

I admit I had been neglecting ChocolateyGUI for the last year or so. And it was no longer compatible with the current version of Chocolatey.

But a few weeks ago a gentle soul called [Miracula][1] decided it was time to help and I made her a contributor the moment she did. After all it was my very first pull request ever and I was happy.

This weekend I decided to give ChocolateyGUI some more of my love and attention. And noticed that Miracula had been very busy indeed.

So I decided that it was time for a [new package][2].

And here it is.

Installation

Installation is very simple.

cinst ChocolateyGUI```
That’s it. As long as you have Chocolatey installed of course. But even that is [easy to install][3].

## New features

Just look how pretty it is.

</div>

You can search in the list. It is a StartsWith list.
  
You can install the available package by clicking on the checkbox.
  
You can uninstall a package.
  
You can update chocolatey, because it will be in the list of installed packages.
  
It is a lot faster.
  
It shows a lot more information about the selected package.

## Open source

And the code is still [open source][4]. And we accept pull-requests and feature requests.

## Conclusion

I want to thank Miracula again for the awesome work she did.

<span class="MT_red">Update</span>

ChocolateyGUI has a dependecy on powershell 3.0. You can install that by doing cinst powershell. In the next version we wil install this as a dependency package.
