MunkiAdmin 1.0

on GitHub

To celebrate the Munki 2 release I've decided to stop using 0.x version numbers and declare the current version stable and 1.0. Compared to the previous 0.3 release, 1.0 includes these major new features:

• Full support for Munki 2
• Package icon is displayed by default in every possible package view.
• Support for editing the package icon
  • Right-click a selection of packages to create a new icon or to clear an existing icon_name setting.
  • When saving the created icon, MunkiAdmin sets the icon_name key if needed.
  • If the chosen file is not an image file, MunkiAdmin will use the files icon as the source image. This is useful for extracting application icons from filesystem.
  • MunkiAdmin also supports extracting icons from the actual installer items (like iconimporter does).
  • Icon file is renamed when renaming a package
  • When deleting packages from repo, the icon file is also removed if not referenced by any other items
• Support for editing developer and category keys. There are three different ways to assign package to a category or developer:
  • Packages can be dropped on to the sidebar items. Right-click on a sidebar item to create new items or rename existing items.
  • Right-click a package and assign from submenus.
  • Double-click a package and assign from the popup buttons
• Completely reworked sidebar in the packages view.
  • Sidebar now includes additional sections for installer types, categories and developers.
  • Sections can be hidden from Preferences -> Appearance
  • Since there are going to be a large number of different developer names in a repository, MunkiAdmin can hide developers from the sidebar which have a user-definable number of different products (based on the "name" key). The default is to show everything.
• Added preference option to run makecatalogs with --force argument. This is called "Disable sanity checks" in Preferences.
• Added a menu item and a keyboard shortcut (command-R) to reload the repository.
• Added a "Show in Finder" menu item for manifests
• MunkiAdmin will now present a warning if user tries to quit while the object context has pending changes.
• MunkiAdmin now creates backup copies of pkginfos and manifests before overwriting them. These backup copies are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MunkiAdmin. Currently old backups are never removed, expect this feature to be refined in a future release. Backups can be turned off by setting backupPkginfosBeforeWriting -bool NO and backupManifestsBeforeWriting -bool NO.
• Added a hidden preference option to define options for makepkginfo. This preference option can be set with the defaults command, for example: defaults write fi.obsolete.MunkiAdmin makepkginfoDefaultOptions -array --catalog "my-custom-catalog" --catalog testing
• Package selection window now hides apple_update_metadata packages by default since they shouldn't be added to manifests.
• Deleting a manifest now correctly removes references to it in other manifests.
• Script views now consistently use a fixed pitch font and explicitly disable quote and dash substitutions
