Windows Cookbook v1.39.0 Released

We have released a new version of the Windows Cookbook (v1.39.0) to the Chef Supermarket. The most notable changes include:

Deprecation of the windows_package resource
Since all windows_package functionality has been moved to the core Chef client as of 12.6.0, usage of this resource will trigger a warning about its deprecation and suggest one uses the package resource available in Chef client 12.6.0. If Chef 12.6.0 or greater is running, calls will be forwarded to Chef::Provider::Package.

Improvements to windows_task
Some bug fixes were made including an implementation of the cwd attribute which previously did nothing and added support for a months attribute and new frequency modifiers. See the updated README for more.

For a complete list, have a look at the changelog.
Thanks!
Matt
