  • v3.6.1 Changes

    April 02, 2019

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 3.6.1, a bug-fix release of the Munki tools.

    🛠 3.6.1 Fixes:

    • make_munki_mpkg_* build scripts now function under Xcode 10.2. 2c0c13e
    • 🛠 Fix for toolbar labels remaining visually deactivated when switching from Light Mode to Dark Mode or vice-versa. 37e5791
    • A change addressing #915 -- Install progress is now updated before running an item's preinstall_script. 7f0d04d

    🚀 Munki 3.6 release notes:

    The primary new feature of Munki 3.6 is new versions of Managed Software Center.app and MunkiStatus.app, rewritten in Swift. These new applications are intended to behave nearly the same as the PyObjC-based applications they replace, with some speed and reliability improvements.

    🍎 Munki 3.6 will install (and is supported) on macOS 10.10+. Older macOS versions are no longer supported.

    🚀 The command-line Munki tools are mostly unchanged from the 3.5.3 release. Two changes:

    • When setting owner and group for CopyFromDMG items, the owner and group are now set in a single operation rather than two, improving efficiency. 435719e
    • 👌 Improvements in detecting available Apple updates. (Works around some unexpected behavior with Apple's tools) 97dcaa3

  • v3.5.3 Changes

    February 18, 2019

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 3.5.3, a bug-fix release of the Munki tools.

    🚀 This release addresses an important issue where Munki fails to restart when installing updates that require a restart when no users are logged in. b61f614
    🚀 This issue was inadvertently introduced in the 3.5.2 release.

    A complete list of changes is here: v3.5.2...v3.5.3

  • v3.5.2 Changes

    January 16, 2019

    🚀 This is the official release of Munki 3.5.2, a bug-fix release of the Munki tools.

    🚀 This is the exact same build as the 3.5.2 Release Candidate 1 release.

    🚀 This release addresses several issues with the precaching feature added in version 3.5:

    • ⚡️ Items that had a older version installed but needed an update were not precached. This especially affected attempts to precache macOS Installers, since some version of macOS is always installed. 0850f95
    • ⚡️ Managed Software Center would show progress info on items being precached and display spurious error alerts about processes ending unexpectedly if a precaching session lasted longer than the remainder of the managedsoftwareupdate run that triggered it. c97d961
    • ⚡️ If a managedsoftwareupdate session started before a precaching session completed, partially precached items were deleted and precaching was restarted. c2ced7c
    • 📦 If PackageURL or PackageCompleteURL were defined for a precache item, these keys were ignored. c34d176

    This release also contains some changes intended to deal with recent Apple updates that might require a shutdown rather than a restart to properly initiate the install on T2/Secure Boot Macs. Due to the difficulty (impossibility!) of doing iterative testing, it's not clear that these changes resolve all the issues around these updates, though the behavior should be no worse than under earlier releases: e1d0e38 91dbacb 0bd2022

    🛠 Other minor bug fixes are also included.

  • v3.5.0 Changes

    November 27, 2018

    🚀 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:
