=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 cacls.exe has been replaced by icacls.exe.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_...) : 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 * [FIX] install_exe_if_needed and install_msi_if_needed version check 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 * [UPD] check free disk space when downloading with wget. check http status before. * [UPD] Version class : Version('7')<Version('7.1') should return True
wapt-get
* [ADD] 2 commands to get server SSL certificate and activate the certificate checking when using https with waptserver * {FIX] get_sources to allow svn checkout of a new ppackage project * [FIX] wapt-get register problems with some BIOS with bitmaps * [UPD] Check uninstall key after package install if uninstallkey is provided * [FIX] added compatibility OS in manifest file for wapt-get and waptconsole version windows * [FIX] erroneous error messages for wapt-get session-setup console * [UPD] add "pattern" parameter to all_files function * [FIX] Install Date incorrectly registered by 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 * [FIX] When signing, check if wapt zip file has already a signature file. (python zipfile can not replace the file inline) *
waptservice
* {ADD] Show all versions checkbox in Available packages page * [UPD] Skin updated * {ADD] filter searchbox for avalable packages
