Improved Windows Support
------------------------
Support for Salt on Windows continues to get better. Software management has
become more seamless with Linux/UNIX/BSD, with installed software now
recognized by the short names defined in the :doc:`repository SLS
</ref/windows-package-manager>`. This makes it possible to run ``salt '*'
pkg.version firefox`` and get back results from Windows and non-Windows minions
alike.

When using the cmd state the ``shell`` option now allows for specifying
Windows Powershell as an alternate shell to execute cmd.run and cmd.script.
This opens up Salt to all the power of Windows Powershell and its advanced
Windows management capabilities.

Several fixes and optimizations were added for the Windows networking modules,
especially when working with IPv6.

A system module was added that makes it easy to restart and shutdown Windows
minions.

The Salt Minion will now look for its config file in ``c:\salt\conf`` by
default. This means that it's no longer necessary to specify the ``-c`` option
to specify the location of the config file when starting the Salt Minion on
Windows in a terminal.
