Changes from the 5.0 release:
- In configurations where an internal softwareupdate server replica was not always available to clients (perhaps it is only reachable via VPN), Munki would "clear" its record of any pending Apple updates if the softwareupdate replica was not reachable. This caused the more aggressive notifications in 5.0 to not happen, as Munki kept "forgetting" when the update was originally available to the client. This has been addressed. f81fe08
- Don't run managedsoftwareupdate at logout if there are pending Apple updates that require a restart -- this could lead to failed updates as either managedsoftwareupdate or Apple Software Update might trigger a restart before the other tool was done installing its updates. 36d8195
- Changes to make "aggressive update notifications" work better if the user leaves Managed Software Center open but moved mostly off-screen. 353d542
- Fix for parsing items with a "name" ending in a hyphen. 09af1c2
- Other small fixes and tweaks. A complete list of changes is here: v5.0.0...v5.0.1
