InstallApplications 1.2.4

This is the last version of InstallApplication prior to the embedded python 3.7 release.

• Avoids the use of chdir in the generatejson.py tool for relative path operation

InstallApplications 1.2.3

• Addresses issue when using preflight in json and --reboot flag in LaunchDaemon. If the preflight passed, InstallApplications did not clean up correctly and would then crash, leaving the machine in an undefined state.

InstallApplications 1.2.2

• fixes for _mbsetupuser potentially owning the log file, breaking runs
• A few fixes for generatejson.py

InstallApplications 1.2.1

Fixes:

• Fix bogus logic where IAs would end up writing things to the DEPNotify log for triggers that have already passed. - #40

InstallApplications 1.2

Fixes:

• Remove preflight stage login window assumption - #30
• Better handling when no preflight key is passed - #32
• Skip extended attribute files. - #35

Enhancements:

• Adding ability to 'require' a pkg be installed on every IA run - #33
• Refactor of generatejson.py - 65f1f38 #28

Example of using generatejson.py:

generatejson.py \
--base-url 'https://snip' \
--output ~/Desktop \
--item \
item-name='DEPNotify' \
item-path='/localpathtofile/DEPNotify-1.1.0.pkg' \
item-stage='setupassistant' \
item-type='package' \
item-url='snip/DEPNotify-1.1.0.pkg' \
script-do-not-wait=False

InstallApplications 1.1

New features:

• preflight stage for running InstallApplications on pre-deployed machines or running additional times.

Fixes:

• dry run works again
• some log events were sending new lines (007cdf5)
• generatejson.py now adds package version/receipt info (#29)
• Bootstrap.json is now validated on each run for changes (1c31306)

Changes

• Cleanup is now a function (0545582)

Breaking Changes

• You will now need the preflight stage in your json file. Attempting to run this version with a boostrap file that does not contain this stage will result in a failure.

Potentially Breaking Changes to your workflow

• If you bundle your Bootstrap.json file within your package and don't have it available online, you must pass the --skip-validation parameter.

Notes about generatejson.py

Currently, generatejson.py does not support all of the new functionality. Please see #28 for a list of features not available.
