Welcome to the next release of CIPP - 4.5.0. The William. This release is named after my father whom passed away on this date in 2020. The cocktail is simple. You go to the fridge, and grab the coldest, nearly iced up bottle of Grolsch you can find. It has to be a swing-top bracket-bottle for that amazing "plop" sound when you open it. You then sit back, and enjoy.
In this release we've focused on extending the templating side of things, and we've worked a lot on quality of life improvements, solving minor bugs or weird quirks left and right.
Assign to...anything?!
We've added the capabilities to our templating engine to assign applications and policies to pretty much anything. You can enter the name of the group you'd like to assign something to and CIPP goes and find the group or groups, the great thing is that you can use wildcards too. Want to assign an app to both the Marketing group, and the Marketing Managers group? Just use Marketing* and it gets assigned to both!
GDAP Auto-extend
Microsoft has announced that GDAP can be automatically extended, as long as you do not use the Company Administrator(Global Admin) role. We've prepared this release to allow you to enable Auto-extend. If you hit the button today it won't do much as Microsoft is enabling this API in 3 days.
Large template support
Templates tend to get large, and CIPP sometimes stopped you from creating the template you always dreamed about because it got too big to store. We've changed how we store this and now you can create templates 1000x as big as before.
Feature request galore
We can't write about every single feature we've added, because that would swamp these release notes, but here's some other notable things we've added;
- Fixed a bug where CPV consent sometimes was too fast.
- Introduced the management of Out of Office(Thanks @jack)
- Changed how some standards apply, allowing to leave your customisations in place.
- massively improved the access check and permissions check (Thanks @johnduprey)
- Removed a bug that the logbook would not reload after changing dates
- Fixed a bug with audit log standards not applying
- Added a standard to disable SafeSenders to prevent spam/SPF bypass
- Added a standard to require MFA for Intune join.
- Fixed a bug where universal search didn't find the correct user
- Fixed a bug with the global Admins not going to the right page
- Improved bug where actions button would not appear for GDAP relationships
- And so many more.
