Today we released knife-windows 1.3.0 to rubygems. This release includes:

- A bump to the WinRM gem dependency loading 1.7.0 which adds support for channel binding over TLS/SSL. This fixes winrm connection problems over SSL when the winrm configuration setting `CbtHardeningLevel` is set to `Strict`. See [this issue](https://github.com/WinRb/rubyntlm/issues/27) for more details.
- Adds a new winrm argument `--ssl-peer-fingerprint` for more secure self signed SSL certificate connection. See [here](https://github.com/chef/knife-windows#connecting-securely-to-self-signed-certs) for more.

Special thanks goes to [Hippie Hacker](https://github.com/hh) for the `--ssl-peer-fingerprint` contributions both here and in the [WinRM gem](https://github.com/WinRb/WinRM/pull/150)!
