Changelog since 1.1.3

More accurate detection:

• Support KeyValue when parsing _RegistryKeyValue tests
• Support FileVersion when parsing _Driver tests
• Fail all _Driver tests against devices that have no driver at all [Fix #24]
• In _FileVersion tests, try comparing against both the FileVersion and ProductVersion attributes
• The -FailUnsupportedDependencies parameter now only affect dependency, not install tests [Fix #26]
• Fix inaccurate results or potential error when the same device is connected more than once (e.g. two docking stations)
• Results are now more accurate when running Get-LSUpdate (again) after installing updates
  Previously, to get accurate results, you would have had to remove and import the module or open a new PowerShell session

Parameters:

• Parameters -NoTestApplicable and -NoTestInstalled added to Get-LSUpdate [Fix #21]
• The IsApplicable and IsInstalled properties of the [LenovoPackage] objects Get-LSUpdate returns are nullable now
  These properties could previously only ever be $true or $false, but if you use one of the new -NoTest* parameters with Get-LSUpdate the coresponding properties of the objects returned will now be set to $null
• Parameter -PassUnsupportedInstallTests added to Get-LSUpdate to change the behavior of unsupported tests for DetectInstall [#26]
• Parameter -DebugLogFile removed from Get-LSUpdate
  This parameter was added in v1.0.1 but not documented because it was mostly meant to make testing and debugging the detection process of Get-LSUpdate easier for myself. However, it turns out that having to collate information split betweeen what's printed to the console and a separate log file wasn't ideal. So I removed this parameter and print debug information to the Debug stream PowerShell offers instead. In effect that means this parameter has been replaced by the common parameter -Debug and with that also went "official"
• Make use of Write-Debug and the common parameter -Debug which prints to the console (by default)
• More Debug output than before and with more context

Other:

• Update the Get-Help parameter help
• Verbose output now tells you when it's parsing a packages dependencies and DetectInstall sections
• With -Verbose output on, you will now be warned about suspected generic/inbox drivers, because they can throw off detection tests and sometimes lead to wrong IsApplicable or IsInstalled results. This issue is being tracked in #27
