Installomator/CHANGELOG.md

v0.7 - pre-release

• script is now assembled from fragments. This helps avoid merging conflicts on git and allows the core team to work on the script logic while also accepting new labels. See the "Assemble Script ReadMe" for details.
• We now detect App Store installed apps, and we do not replace them automatically. An example is Slack that will loose all settings if it is suddenly changed from App Store version to the "web" version (they differ in the handling of settings files). If INSTALL=force then we will replace the App Store app. We log all this.
• Change in finding installed apps. We now look in /Applications and /Applications/Utilities first. If not found there, we use spotligt to find it. (We discovered a problem when a user has Parallels Windows installed with Microsoft Edge in it. Then Installomator wanted to update the app all the time, becaus spotligt found that Windows version of the app that Parallels created.)
• Added bunch of new labels, and improved others.
• Renamed buildCaseStatement.sh to buildLabel.sh and improved it a lot. It is a great start when figuring out how to create a new label for an app, or a piece of software. Look at the tutorials in our wiki.
• Mosyle changed their app name from Business to Self-Service

v0.6 - 2021-07-14

• several new and updated labels, for a total of 302
• versionKey variable can be used to choose which Info.plist key to get the version from
• an appCustomVersion() {} function can now be used in a label
• with INSTALL=force, the script will not be using updateTool, but will reinstall instead
• added quit and quit_kill options to NOTIFY
• updated buildCaseStatement.sh
• updated buildInstallomatorPkg.sh to use notarytool (requires Xcode 13)
• several minor fixes

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.

v0.4 - 2020-10-19

• change downloadFromGit to match file types better (#58)
• implemented a workaround for changed behavior of xpath in Big Sur (#80)
• added an option prompt_user_then_kill to BLOCKING_PROCESS_ACTION which will kill the process after the third unsuccessful attempt to quit (#78, thanks Patrick Atoon @raptor399)
• added several new labels for total of 116
