[Seth Chisamore < >]

Hey Chef'ers

Knife Windows 0.5.10.rc.1 has been pushed to Rubygems.org

You can install it on a system with 'gem install knife-windows --pre' (may need a sudo).

Along with some bug fixes we have some new features:

* full NTLM authentication support

* all subcommand now prompt user for password

* subcommands now display the return codes of all remote commands

Big thanks go out to community members Paul Morton [0] and Chris McClimans [1] (aka Hippie Hacker) for lots of real world testing and features!
