MSIX Hero 1.4.3 has been just released. Continue reading to find out what has been implemented since version 1.4.0.
Show nested package dependencies

The graph is interactive, you can zoom-in and zoom-out and move the shapes around for a better visibility. Once done, the results can be exported to a graphic file or printed.
This preview feature can be accessed for both installed and non-installed packages.
