Hello Knife-Windows Users,

We just released knife-windows 0.5.12. This release fixes bootstrap  
and search bugs. It also includes security and reliability  
improvements related to downloading the MSI package during  
bootstrap.

Bugs

- [KNIFE-208] - Windows: knife bootstrap windows fails on Windows Server 2012  
in download step
- [KNIFE-222] - knife-windows plugin reports no nodes returned from search  
incorrectly

Improvements

Use of SSL to secure content of the MSI downloaded for bootstrap  
during transmission

Thank you.

-Adam
