Core

• FIX: incorrect  uninstallkey if nested call WAPT.install
  inside surrounding setup.install. https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue605
  
  


• better tolerance to encoding issues.
  
  


• fix waptserver discovery with SRV dns record


• add optional dnsdomain in wapt-get.ini.
  
  


• add optional verify_cert option (default to False) for
  waptserver access in wapt-get.ini


• forget old host package if computer FQDN is changed


• fix : check that there are no additional files in package
  content not checksummed in manifest.sha1 when unzipping


• check systematically that declared uninstallkeys are found in
  registry after package install


• allow session_setup to return a value different than None or
  zero to indicate a RETRY at next session logon


• optionally includes packages with status ERROR for
  Wapt.is_installed(), WaptDB.installed_search,
  WaptDB.installed_matching. CBB : installed_search included
  errors by default in previous behaviour.

Waptconsole

• optionally filter newest only package (latest version) in
  waptconsole private repository or when importing from external


• optionally filter newer than local packages in waptconsole
  when importing from external


• display size of packages in repository grids


• reorganize settings dialog to focus on most important
  parameters


• allow several hosts and packages to be selected when cherry
  picking install, remove or forget packages in waptconsole
  inventory (cbb, user interface should be improved)


• add wakeonlan feature for hosts running on same network as
  main waptserver


• check md5 when downloading packages with waptconsole to avoid
  keeping incomplete or corrupted cached files


• fix redirect from http to https not working in waptconsole


• fix waptserver discovery with SRV dns record not working
  properly in waptconsole

Waptservice

• recheck waptserver authorized IP in waptservice if call failed
  with restricted access (so that next call succeeds)


• use create_onetime_task windows scheduler instead of AT
  command to trigger a waptservice restart


• better handling when computer often disconnect (sleep) or
  change from one network to another network

Waptupgrade

• authenticate systematically the waptagent.exe file with a
  sha256 hash inside waptupgrade package or when using waptdeploy
  downloader (requires change in the GPO if gpo is used to deploy
  wapt automatically)


• include waptagent.exe in waptupgrade package per default and
  trigger a full waptagent.exe install (through a windows
  scheduled task which uses waptdeploy) if upgrading from wapt
  < 1.3.0.


• waptdeploy requires now --hash= option. --wait enable
  waptdeploy to wait for pending waptservice tasks to terminate
  before upgrading wapt.
  
  

Wapt-get

• handles waptservice local authentication for wapt-get to
  allow install / remove as a non admin user.


• add option to wapt-get --service  to force use of http
  webservice. default --direct for user members of computer
  administrators group


• can pass waptserver user and password to wapt-get command
  line for automate package uploading tasks


• guess package rootdir based on path of control in addition to
  setup.py files for development wapt-get tasks like install,
  remove, build-upload etc..


• Fix command line parameters handling in wapt-get.exe

Waptserver

RPM package for waptserver on centos

use huey task pool in waptserver instead of uwsgi for portability

Fix waptserverpostconf not able to restart local waptservice
properly

Global

python upgraded to 2.7.10

many libraries upgraded (openssl, m2crypto, flask, psutils, etc...)

Upgrade from 1.2.3

Linux server upgrade

With a server on Linux :

ssh on waptserver

cd

wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptrepo-1.3.4.deb

wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptserver-1.3.4.deb

wget http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/tis-waptsetup-1.3.4.deb

dpkg -i tis-wapt*.deb

apt-get -f install

wapt-serverpostconf

-> default answer to all questions.

Windows server upgrade

Download http://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/1.3.4-rc2/waptserversetup.exe

Install with admin rights.

Launch server postconfiguration (obviously, don't recreate a new new
private key...)

Don't create waptagent from waptserverpostconf but use waptconsole
option which provide waptagent and waptupgrade package.
waptserverpostconf creates only the waptagent.

Wapt management host upgrade

on the wapt manage workstation (where the private key is defined)

download http://wapt/wapt/waptsetup-tis.exe
from waptserver

install with default options

Build clients upgrade package

launch c:\wapt\waptconsole

tools/Build waptagent

 -> build the waptagent.exe and xxx-waptupgrade.wapt package and
uplaod them to wapt server.



include the built xxx-waptupgrade package in your base group package
or as a dependency of all host packages

trigger upgrade on hosts

GPO update

copy waptdeploy.exe to the gp

modify your waptdeploy GPO to include --hash= with the hash defined
in c:\wapt\waptupgrade\waptagent.sha256 and a --wait=15 for example.

\\srvads\netlogon\waptdeploy.exe
--hash=5b5988012033e534b5352050bff7dece4840456225787b39dc1d00dfb9e75cd8

(you can get this on linux too with the command "sha256sum
/var/www/wapt/waptagent.exe" )

Pyscripter development / debug

The tis-python27 package no longer includes all the libraries of
Wapt.

So you need to add a site-package dir to python init of Pyscripter
to be able to debug using Pyscripter.

(see
http://dev.tranquil.it/wiki/WAPT_-_Mise_en_place_de_l%27environnement_de_d%C3%A9veloppement)

In PyScripter, Option Tools
/ Edit startup scripts, update file  python_init.py with lines :

import site
site.addsitedir('c:/wapt/lib/site-packages')
