Installomator/CHANGELOG.md

v0.5 - 2021-04-13

• Major update and now with help from @Theile and @Isaac
• Added additional BLOCKING_PROCESS_ACTION handlings
• Added additional NOTIFY=all. Usuful if used in Self Service, as the user will be notified before download, before install as well as when it is done.
• Added variable LOGO for icons i dialogs, use LOGO=appstore (or jamf or mosyleb or mosylem or addigy). It's also possible to set it to a direct path to a specific icon. Default is appstore.
• Added variable INSTALL that can be set to INSTALL=force if software needs to be installed even though latest version is already installed (it will be a reinstall).
• Version control now included. The variable appNewVersion in a label can be used to tell what the latest version from the web is. If this is not given, version checking is done after download.
• For a label that only installs a pkg without an app in it, a variable packageID can be used for version checking.
• Labels now sorted alphabetically, except for the Microsoft ones (that are at the end of the list). A bunch of new labels added, and lots of them have either been changed or improved (with appNewVersion og packageID).
• If an app is asked to be closed down, it will now be opened again after the update.
• If your MDM cannot call a script with parameters, the label can be set in the top of the script.
• If your MDM is not Jamf Pro, and you need the script to be installed locally on your managed machines, then take a look at Theiles fork. This fork can be called from the MDM using a small script.
• Script buildCaseStatement.sh to help with creating labels have been improved.
• Fixed a bug in a variable name that prevented updateTool to be used
• added type variable for value "updateronly" if the label should only run an updater tool.
