Changes/fixes visible to the user:
  
−
Normally, hosts are parsed from top to the bottom, except when the hostname is not a regular expression.
+
Summary:
−
So host "bronek" will match "profile1", even though it also matches "b.+" and "bron.+" (which are regular expressions).
+
- Fixed crash when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize
 +
- Do not force quit if installation fails (unsless /qutonerror is set)
  
 +
FIX: WPKG crashed when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize. Fixed.
 +
MOD: WPKG was forced to exit if package checks failed after installation or if
 +
    a package failed to remove. This has been changed. Now WPKG prints an
 +
    error (unless /quitonerror is used).
 +
    Note that installation of packages depending on the failed one will fail
 +
    as well. Some packages require reboot unless checks yield true. Therefore
 +
    it is crucial to define correct package reboot flags for such packages.
 +
</pre>
  
−
* new flags:
+
Thanks to Rainer Meier.
  
−
/force - Uses force when performing actions (ignores wpkg.xml).<br>
 
−
Handy when you're not sure if your system is "up to date" with the state described in hosts.xml, packages.xml and profiles.xml (i.e., when someone was adding / removing software by other means than WPKG).<br>
 
−
It will "scan" your system for all possible packages from packages.xml, and then, install and/or uninstall packages, according to profiles.xml / packages.xml / hosts.xml for a given host.
 
  
−
/forceInstall - Forces installation over existing packages.<br>
+
----
−
The "install" command will be run, even if "check" conditions are met.
+
'''10-Mar-2008'''

Summary:

- Fixed missing quote in log output
  
−
WPKG 0.6 has been released.
+
FIX: Included cosmetic fix for Bug 104 (opening quotation missing).
 +
    This fix adds a missing opening quotation in debug output when a new

    package is added to the local settings node (after installation success).
 +
FIX: Fixed Bug 103. /help screen is not showing up if config.xml is missing and
 +
    null-pointer exception is thrown.

Noone reported issues with 0.6-test1, so from now on WPKG 0.6 is officially stable :)

FIX: Fixed Bug 96. Equality check on non-existing registry value yields an

Wed Jun 8 2005
+
Summary:
 +
- Added /noremove flag
  
−
V 0.6-test1
+
NEW: Added /noremove flag to skip all package uninstallation actions.
 +
    Allows to disable removing of packages. If used in conjunction with the
 +
    /synchronize parameter it will just add packages but never remove them.
 +
    Instead of removing a list of packages which would have been removed
 +
    during that session is printed on exit. Packages are not removed from
 +
    the local settings database (wpkg.xml). Therefore it will contain a list
 +
    of all packages ever installed.
 +
    Note that each package which is requested to be removed (manually or by
 +
    a synchronization request) will be checked for its state by executing its
 +
    included package checks. If the package has been removed manually it will
 +
    also be removed from the settings database. Due to the fact that packages
 +
    whithout checks always return 'false' for during the install-status check
 +
    these packages will disappear from the local wpkg.xml.
 +
</pre>
  
−
wpkg.js changes:
+
Thanks to Rainer Meier.
−
* Added new check type - it checks if the program is in "Software Add/Remove"
+
  
−
An example entry looks like below:
+
= Older news =
 +
== 2007 news ==
 +
See WPKG news for year [[News_2007|2007]].
  
−
      <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Filzip 3.02" />
+
== 2006 news ==
 +
See WPKG news for year [[News_2006|2006]].
  
−
In the path="" field you just have to add a name which is in Windows Software Add/Remove - and that's it: you no longer have to figure out the registry entries and/or files!
+
== 2005 news ==
−
 
+
See WPKG news for year [[News_2005|2005]].
−
Of course you can still use "file" and "registry" check types, combine them all etc. (all of them have to be met to consider software installed; they will be checked also *after* installation due to the fact that some installers don't handle exit codes properly).
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
* Output during the installing looks like below:
+
−
 
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; uninstall check condition failed !
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; file check condition failed !
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; registry check condition failed !
+
−
      Installing Filzip 3.02...
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; uninstall check condition met.
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; file check condition failed !
+
−
      Checking presence of Filzip 3.02; registry check condition met.
+
−
 
+
−
This can mean:
+
−
- the installation was unsuccessful (and the package won't be written to %SYSTEM32%\wpkg.xml) because the file check condition was not met,
+
−
- file check condition has a typo in packages.xml,
+
−
- you don't have to use that many conditions - one "uninstall" check is often enough.
+
−
 
+
−
* Changed double quotations to single quotations in packages.xml. Some installation instruction may require using double quotations.
+

WPKG 0.5-test1 has been released.
+
−
 
+
−
Changes include:
+
−
 
+
−
wpkg.js changes:
+
−
* Fixed registry checking.
+
−
* If there is no '<check type="...' entry for a given package, '<install cmd="...' will be executed each time the machine is booted. This is useful when one wants to execute certain scripts on each machine startup.
+
−
* If there is more than one '<check type="...' (that is, "file" and "registry"), both of them have to be met to assume the package is installed (before it was OR - so it was any of them).
+
−
* Added checking *after* installation, too. Some installers return exit code 0 (for example, SAS 9.1.3), even though the installation was unsuccessful. This prevents WPKG from writing such package to wpkg.xml in case it wasn't really installed.
+
−
* other changes:
+
−
- we have our own domain - wpkg.org :)
+
−
- the documentation - which is now on http://wpkg.org - has been greatly improved since the last WPKG release (most of you probably noticed that long time ago)
+
−
- some work has been done on a web interface to WPKG

02-Apr-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc9 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed crash when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize
- Do not force quit if installation fails (unsless /qutonerror is set)

FIX: WPKG crashed when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize. Fixed.
MOD: WPKG was forced to exit if package checks failed after installation or if
     a package failed to remove. This has been changed. Now WPKG prints an
     error (unless /quitonerror is used).
     Note that installation of packages depending on the failed one will fail
     as well. Some packages require reboot unless checks yield true. Therefore
     it is crucial to define correct package reboot flags for such packages.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.


10-Mar-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc8 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed missing quote in log output

FIX: Included cosmetic fix for Bug 104 (opening quotation missing).
     This fix adds a missing opening quotation in debug output when a new
     package is added to the local settings node (after installation success).
FIX: Fixed Bug 103. /help screen is not showing up if config.xml is missing and
     null-pointer exception is thrown.

Thanks to Frank Lee and Rainer Meier.


15-Jan-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc7 has been released.

Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Fixed Bug 96 - equality check on non-existing registry key yields exception

FIX: Fixed Bug 96. Equality check on non-existing registry value yields an
     exception. The same could theoretically occur as well on IP-address
     evaluation. However there it's very unlikely to happen but I fixed it as
     well.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.


14-Jan-2008

WPKG 1.0-rc6 has been released.

''Changelog''
Changes/fixes visible to the user:

Summary:
- Added /noremove flag

NEW: Added /noremove flag to skip all package uninstallation actions.
     Allows to disable removing of packages. If used in conjunction with the
     /synchronize parameter it will just add packages but never remove them.
     Instead of removing a list of packages which would have been removed
     during that session is printed on exit. Packages are not removed from
     the local settings database (wpkg.xml). Therefore it will contain a list
     of all packages ever installed.
     Note that each package which is requested to be removed (manually or by
     a synchronization request) will be checked for its state by executing its
     included package checks. If the package has been removed manually it will
     also be removed from the settings database. Due to the fact that packages
     whithout checks always return 'false' for during the install-status check
     these packages will disappear from the local wpkg.xml.

Thanks to Rainer Meier.
