This release contains a variety of features, improvements, and fixes, as noted below.
Features
- Support applications in the catalog that download a zip file.
- Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1463
- Note: Additional backend and procedural changes are needed before this will be used. The Publisher can consume a catalog with software that downloads a zip file. We will not add any products like this until Q1-Q2 2025.
Improvements
- Improve how the Publisher reads and writes settings.
- Prevent the Publisher from overwriting user setting changes while a sync is happening. Previously, if a user was in the UI and clicked save while a sync was running, the user’s changes could be lost.
- Prevent the Publisher from losing Intune configuration due to an abandoned mutex.
- If found, the ‘Collect Logs’ button will now include the WSUS softwaredistribution.log.
- Improve the product search function in the Publisher to keep the search box open when no match is found.
- Scriptrunner has improved logic for handling the log location for user-based installations. If the default values are left in the Publisher, the log path will be updated to a user-writable location. This includes the scriptrunner log and the installer log.
- Updated Publisher settings backup retention to retain settings from previous weeks and months.
- Update the Swedish translation for Manage Conflicting Processes based on customer feedback.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Graph queries would fail if they contained a date-time filter and the machine running the Publisher had the OS set to specific cultures.
- Fixed a bug where a ‘BaseInstallOnlyNotForUpdating_’ prefix would appear when using the %OriginalName% variable.
- Fixed a bug where an invalid logging path was allowed, causing the Publisher not to log anything to disk.
- Fixed a bug where canceling out of the Dynamic Assignments form would still apply the settings.
- The test email for SMTP configuration had a blank subject and body.
- Fixed a bug causing the Manage Assignments form to hang while resolving Entra group names in some scenarios.
- Fixed a bug where the Publisher would include non-Windows applications in the scan results for Intune auto publishing.
- Fixed a bug that caused webhook summary notifications not to respect the tenant filter.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Publisher to attempt to code sign Patch My PC defined scripts when the code signing option was disabled in the Publisher.
- Fixed a bug that caused the install time offset for Intune assignments to be displayed incorrectly in some cultures.
