=Changelog=
Security :
* [SECURITY] Fix inheritance of rights on wapt root folder for Windows
10 during setup when installed in c:\wapt
o On Windows 10, cacls.exe does not work and does not remove
"Authenticated Users" from c:\wapt. cacls.exe has been replaced
by icacls.exe.
* On pre-wapt 1.3.7 systems, you can fix this by running the following
command, or upgrade to wapt 1.3.8 (you may check
http://dev.tranquil.it/wiki/WAPT_-_probl%C3%A8me_fr%C3%A9quent#Corriger_les_probl.C3.A8me_de_droits_sous_Windows_10)
:
icacls.exe c:\wapt /inheritance:r
This can be achieved with a GPO, or a wapt package
* Note : in next versions of Wapt, the default install path of wapt
will be changed from root folder c:\wapt to a more standard c:\
Program FIles\wapt.
* By default, waptsetup.exe / waptsetup-tis.exe don't distribute
certificates to avoid to deploy directly packages from Tranquil IT
Systems. waptagent.exe by default distributes the certificates that
are installed on the mangement desktop creating the waptagent.
Core changes
* The database structure has changed between 1.3.8 and 1.3.8.2 to
includes additional attributes from packages : signer,
signer_fingerprint, locale, and maturity. Signer and
signer_fingerprint are populated when signing the package to
identify the origin.
This means local wapt database is upgraded when first starting wapt
1.3.8.2 and this is not backward compatible.
* Installers have a limited set of options, the most common use of
Wapt is priviledged.
* [ADD] 3 new parameters for the waptexit policy behaviour :
'hiberboot_enabled','max_gpo_script_wait','pre_shutdown_timeout'
recommended settings for waptexit / shutdown policy
# hiberboot_enabled = 0
# max_gpo_script_wait = 180
# pre_shutdown_timeout = 180
These parameters are not set by default and should be added to
wapt-get.inin [global] section if needed
* [UPD] Use user's waptconsole.ini configuration file instead of
wapt-get.ini for the commands targeted to package development
('sources','make-template',
'make-host-template','make-group-template','build-package','sign-package','build-upload','duplicate','edit','edit-host','upload-package','update-packages'.
This avoids the need to write these parameters in wapt-get.ini on
the development workstation. These parameters are not shared across
multiple users on same machine. One use case is to allow multiple
profiles (key, upload location) depending on the maturity of package
(development, test, production...)
Setuphelpers
* [ADD] helper functions dir_is_empty, file_is_locked,
service_restart and WindowsVersions class
* [UPD] Added referer and user_agent in "wget" and "wgets"
* [UPD] run function : define stdin as PIPE to avoid lockup process
waiting for input or error like unable to duplicate handle when
using for example powershell
* [UPD] Version class : try to compare version using at least
Version.members_count
* [FIX] encoding fixes for registry functions, fix encoding for
registry_setstring key name
* [FIX] install_exe_if_needed : don't check uninstall_key or
min_version if not provided

if --force
* [UPD] Check version and uninstall key after install with
install_msi_if_needed and install_exe_if_needed
* [UPD] inventory includes informations from WMI.Win32_OperatingSystem
* [ADD] get_disk_free_space helper function

status before.

certificate checking when using https with waptserver

setuphelpers.register_uninstall
* [ADD] user_local_appdata function
* [ADD] add the signer CN and signer_fingerprint to control file when
building package
* [ADD]add control attributes min_wapt_version to trigger an exception
if Package requires a minimum level of libraries. The version is
checked againts setuphelpers.py 's __version__ attribute.
* [ADD] authorized_certificates attribute is sent to wapt server. It
contains the list of host's signer certificates distributed on the host
