Releases in 2020

0.38.2

Released 2020-12-29

New Features

Updated the export default name to be meaningful.

Added a Uri datatype for maintenance task parameters.

This parameter is available as a Uri type in power shell for users to us inside of scripts.

Improvements

• When creating new software versions, we will default the new version's settings to the previous version's settings. This is generally more reliable that using the analysis results by default. If there is no previous version, then we will still use the analysis results as default.

• Adds the result message to the action column in the deployment excel export to help indicate success/failure.

• Using the new Uri datatype no additional parsing will be needed to convert a string to a Uri inside of the script.

• Made the system update page show current version release notes

• Added current release update notes; Switched to using cards for displaying releases

• Display computer provider type button for each RMM Link instead of type and hid disabled links

• Updates the Schedules List to show the same Target fields that the Deployment List shows.

• Fixed an issue where we could show non IP addresses for a computer's external IP field when the External IP Inventory script runs
• Fixed an issue where BITS Download would not fallback to basic download if the command timed out.
• Fixed issue with showing the updated by and update by by person on the Schedules List page.
• Hid the Download ImmyAgent link when ImmyAgent RMMLink is disabled.
• When detecting software version after install a newer version than expected will no longer cause a failure for that action.
  • This fixes the case in where some software auto update themselves right after installation.
