This is the third development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.3 build for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11.
Experimental features are enabled in this release. The experimental support for installing from a zip file (including portable packages) is included in this release. Another helpful troubleshooting feature is "--open-logs". This build will be released to Windows Insider Dev builds, and Windows Package Manager Insiders.
