Phew, this was a big one! 
We worked for quite some time on finalizing Windows support for the agent role and here it is: Release 3.1.0 finally brings the long-awaited feature! 
Huge shout-out to @StefanM and our very own @Max! 
While Stefan did the heavy lifting of creating the initial pull request and creating most of the functionality, Max did the polishing and testing to make sure it meets our standards. 
There might still be issues, mind you, but we are positive, that most of you should get going without much struggle. And if something comes up, do let us know: File an issue on GitHub.
You might think, this is already big enough of an announcement, but hold on! We got one more!
@lars.getwan introduced a first lookup plugin, named version! 
This allows you to easily look up the version of the Checkmk site you are talking to. For details on the usage, look at the plugin itself, or at playbooks/demo/lookup.yml. 
P.S.: Not a Friday-release!
