A new major release! I hope that windows-build-tools is more useful than ever, with better error handling, more thoughtful logging, and optimization for the default case: Getting a Windows machine ready for compiling some C++.

Changelog

  • ⚠️ Breaking change: Python is now always added to the PATH. If Python is already installed, we do still leave it alone.
  • ⚠️ Breaking change: windows-build-tools now requires Node v8. Use windows-build-tools@3.1.0 if you're running Node v6.
  • 🆕 Offline installers: Instead of downloading installers on each run, you can now supply a directory with already downloaded installers, which is useful on CI machines.
  • 🆕 Some npm versions had a bug that lead to incorrect $env:PATH handling on Windows. windows-build-tools has a workaround included.
  • :new: Logging has been cleaned up dramatically.
  • :bug: Python installation failures will be handled better.
  • ⛏ Infrastructure: Update TypeScript (and related development dependencies)
  • :memo: Updated the readme with helpful tips.
