munki v3.5.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2018-11-27 // over 5 years ago-
🚀 This is the official release of Munki 3.5, a feature and bug-fix release of the Munki tools.
🚀 This is the exact same build as 3.5 Release Candidate 2.
🆕 New feature in 3.5:
- 👍 Precaching support.
- This feature allows the admin to mark certain items in the optional_installs to be precached.
- To mark an item as eligible for precaching, add a key named "precache" with the value of true to the appropriate pkginfo.
- Precaching works only for items listed in optional_installs.
🐛 Bug (and other) fixes in 3.5:
- 🔒 A previous attempt to increase security when copying items from a disk image had the side effect of not properly copying extended attributes in some cases. A new implementation fixes the issue with extended attributes; it may or may not affect the relative security of copies from disk images. e8ee653
- 🛠 Fixes for Managed Software Center alerts when it could not trigger the start of
managedsoftwareupdate; also add more error info to the alerts to help local admins more easily understand the underlying issue:
