  • v5.2.0.b1

    October 05, 2020

  • v5.1.2 Changes

    November 12, 2020

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 5.1.2: an update to the Munki tools.

    🚀 There are two changes in this release from version 5.1.1:

    • 🚚 Code signing has been removed from files in the embedded Python framework; the existing code signing was broken because of the process making the framework relocatable.
    • ⬆️ When importing a Big Sur installer, the pkginfo will reflect the 35.5GB required space for upgrading from macOS Sierra or later. (See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211238): 0714196

    🚀 The main focus for the Munki 5.1.x releases is compatibility with macOS Big Sur, but there are other changes.
    🚀 See release notes for Munki 5.1 (https://github.com/munki/munki/releases/tag/v5.1.0) and 5.1.1 (https://github.com/munki/munki/releases/tag/v5.1.1) for more details on those changes.

  • v5.0.1 Changes

    July 07, 2020

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 5.0.1, a bug-fix update to the Munki tools.

    👀 See https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Munki-5-Information for information on the changes in Munki 5.

    Please discuss the changes in the munki-dev mailing list, and open reproducible code issues in the issues section here.

    🚀 Changes from the 5.0 release:

    • ⚡️ In configurations where an internal softwareupdate server replica was not always available to clients (perhaps it is only reachable via VPN), Munki would "clear" its record of any pending Apple updates if the softwareupdate replica was not reachable. This caused the more aggressive notifications in 5.0 to not happen, as Munki kept "forgetting" when the update was originally available to the client. This has been addressed. f81fe08
    • ⚡️ Don't run managedsoftwareupdate at logout if there are pending Apple updates that require a restart -- this could lead to failed updates as either managedsoftwareupdate or Apple Software Update might trigger a restart before the other tool was done installing its updates. 36d8195
    • ⚡️ Changes to make "aggressive update notifications" work better if the user leaves Managed Software Center open but moved mostly off-screen. 353d542
    • 🛠 Fix for parsing items with a "name" ending in a hyphen. 09af1c2
    • 🛠 Other small fixes and tweaks. A complete list of changes is here: v5.0.0...v5.0.1

  • v5.0.0 Changes

    🚀 Changes from Release Candidate 1:

    • ⚡️ Updated localizations for Danish and Norwegian Bokmål.
    • ⚡️ When in bootstrap mode, unset bootstrap mode if the only available updates are Apple updates Munki will no longer attempt to install (because they require a restart on macOS 10.14+)

    🚀 This release is identical to 5.0.0RC2.

    🍎 The attached munkitools package contains code built under Xcode 11.4.1 on macOS 10.15.3. It is neither signed, nor notarized.

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 4.1.4, a bug-fix update to the Munki tools.

    🚚 Munki 4 removes the dependency on Apple's Python, and includes its own copy of Python 3.7.4.

    👀 See Introduction to Munki 4 for more information on the architectural changes in Munki 4.

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    👀 Catch unhandled exceptions in appusaged, leading to unexpected exit. See #989. Thanks to @trekkim for raising this issue. 6dff4db

    🛠 Fix for unhandled exception when installer fails, causing managedsoftwareupdate to exit unexpectedly. Thanks to @poundbangbash for alerting to the issue. 46cf0d0

    🍎 The attached munkitools package contains code built under Xcode 11.4.1 on macOS 10.15.3. It is neither signed, nor notarized.

    AutoPkg users -- IMPORTANT NOTE:
    🚀 If you use AutoPkg, do not use the munkitools3.munki recipe to import this release, as it will not import the new embedded Python package and any clients "upgraded" with the results will be broken.
    A new munkitools4.munki recipe is available in the AutoPkg recipes repo.
