# knife-windows 0.6.0 release notes:
This release of knife-windows addresses issues with reliability of winrm
readiness detection during Windows bootstrap, exit codes in command execution
scenarios, and gem dependencies.

Special thanks to **Okezie Eze** for the helpful bug report in KNIFE-386.

## Features added in knife-windows 0.6.0

### `--auth-timeout` option for bootstrap
The `knife windows bootstrap` command has an `--auth-timeout` option that
takes as an argument a number of minutes that specifies the time period during
which to retry authentication attempts to WinRM when boostrapping a remote
node via WinRM. By default, the value is 25 minutes. This retry behavior during bootstrap addresses issues that arise on
some cloud providers where the authentication system is not ready until
some time after WinRM is ready.
