The NuGet team at Microsoft introduced a concept known as "Package ID prefix reservation" for packages published on nuget.org, which allows developers to reserve particular package ID prefixes with a specific account/owner and offers a number of features that are described in detail on Microsoft's docs.

One of these features is that packages with a reserved prefix include a visual indicator for NuGet package consumers to identify that the packages they are consuming originate from package owners that have reserved the prefix.

Version 1.0.0 of Cake has been released.
