Patch My PC Publisher Releases

This release contains a variety of features, improvements, and fixes, as noted below.

Features

  • Support for maintaining application dependencies in Intune
    • Checkbox added to Intune Options window: “Update application dependencies from previously created applications when an updated application is created”
    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1326

Improvements

  • When republishing an Intune application or update there is now a prompt asking if assignments should be recreated. The newly recreated assignments would have a deadline and available time relative to the sync when the republish happens. 

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where republishing a ConfigMgr application would remove existing application dependencies, supersedence, and requirements the customer may have added.
  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process option to use the ConfigMgr application max run time for the notification timeout would not work for a republished ConfigMgr application.
  • Fixed a bug where republishing an Intune application or update might remove existing assignments.
  • Fixed a bug where we may fail to put back the version on the name of retained ConfigMgr applications in some scenarios.
  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process UI may fail to identify conflicting processes causing it not to show.
  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process UI may default to a 5-hour timeout for ConfigMgr applications in some scenarios.
  • Fixed a bug where delayed ConfigMgr applications may publish one day early.
  • Fixed a bug where the IsFeatured flag would not be set for a republished Intune application.
  • Fixed a bug where the Publisher would fail to validate a ConfigMgr source path if there were Deployment Packages with an empty source path.
  • Fixed a bug where the Publisher may delete a content folder during republishing if the binary was missing from the local content repository.
  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process UI notification would fail to display if the user DateTime format and the system DateTime format were conflicting, causing DateTime parsing failures.
  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process notification timeout setting may not be read correctly from settings.xml.
