- Update some messages seen at the command-line and in the logs that referred to ".managedsoftwareupdate.py" to refer to "managedsoftwareupdate" instead. (This was an unattended side-effect of using a binary wrapper in 6.3.0) 8e32338
- Eliminate "Error reading: /Library/Managed Installs/AppleUpdates.plist" error messages when there are no pending updates (and therefore no AppleUpdates.plist file) 495e0e3

Attachment info
The munkitools-6.3.1.4580.pkg attachment available here is an unsigned and unnotarized package that should install without requiring a restart unless upgrading from an extremely old Munki tools (like one of the 3.x releases or earlier). It should be suitable for most initial deployment scenarios, including those driven by DEP/ADE. It does not include a component to trigger "bootstrapping" or any other automatic run of the tools after installation. A signed and notarized version of this package should be available eventually at https://github.com/macadmins/munki-builds/releases.
