Releases in reverse chronological order:
Release 2024-04-12 - 14.1.1
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where CopyTo...\files were deleted if the upgrade directory was in Common Program Files and the CopyTo... folder contained notes.ini |
| ENHANCEMENT | DeferralPrompt now also supports values 3 and 4. 3 could actually be really confusing, 4 makes sense to also show DeferralPrompt when using Initiator |
Release 2024-04-09 - 14.1.0
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Improved desktop preview rendering through better windows desktop refresh beforehand |
| FIX / CHANGE | Really fixed the fix from 14.0.7 (After clicking OK in / closing the shutdown notice dialog, the retry dialog will now appear immediately IF A DIALOG WITH BUTTONS APPEARS in Notes upon a close attempt through another (new or respawning) window) |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgradeMain.exe has been removed entirely(!) |
Release 2024-03-27 - 14.0.7
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the cinema splash screen always loaded MCUpgradeProgress.html, regardless of language to be used |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where text and buttons were not properly displayed in dialogues with higher display scaling |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where GracefulShutdownCancelMessage was not always displayed, if GracefulShutdownRetryAllowCancel was set |
| FIX / CHANGE | After clicking OK in / closing the shutdown notice dialog, the retry dialog will now appear immediately if a dialog with buttons appears in Notes upon a close attempt through another (new or respawning) window |
| CHANGE | In case none of the domains in the mcu file match the current user's domain, MCUpgrade will exit with code 6000 instead of 1 |
| CHANGE | GracefulShutdownRetryAllowCancel now configures the nth retry dialog in which to display the cancel button; previously it configured the nth+1 dialog (the nth dialog after which) the cancel button and message appeared |
Release 2024-02-14 - 14.0.6
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue introduced in 14.0.5 where upon displaying the shutdown counter message boxes, MCUpgrade terminated with an "undeclared variable" error message box |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where cascaded symlinks were not traversed entirely (e.g., Lotus > IBM > HCL was previously only traversed to IBM, now to HCL) |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where upon rescaling, text labels would not keep their current text |
Release 2024-02-13 - 14.0.5
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where logging always switched from MCUpgrade.log to MCUpgrade_AutoUpdate.log when running as SYSTEM, instead of only when running as SYSTEM via HCL AutoUpdate. This issue was introduced in 12.0.44 |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where HCL AutoUpdate was only checked for in %ProgramFiles(x86)%, but not in %ProgramFiles% |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where, when switching to AutoUpdate logging, the pre-existing log was not carried over |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where MCUpgradeMain and the cinema progress bar did not use the OS language if ini:UpgradeLanguage was not set |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the language displayed in the progressbar possibly changed when running as SYSTEM |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the substrings Installing and Uninstalling were not always displayed translated |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where clicking OK in the desktop preview dialog did sometimes not close the dialog immediately |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where console session fallback detection checked for taskhost.exe, where on Windows 8 and newer it needs to check for taskhostw.exe |
| CHANGE | Console session detection now checks for explorer.exe in console session first, followed by taskhost(w).exe, followed by a single fallback explorer.exe in different session. Previously, a single explorer.exe in different session was favored over taskhost(w).exe |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | If DeferralPromptMessage contains %DAYSLEFT% or %PROMPTSLEFT%, and @LF@, and days left or prompts left do not apply, then only the first part of DeferralPromptMessage is displayed |
| ENHANCEMENT | The progressbar is now dpi-aware, too, meaning that it changes size when switching display scale, for example, or when higher scaling is configured in Windows |
| ENHANCEMENT | When running as SYSTEM, MCUpgrade grants 'Users' read+execute access to the upgrade directory. Also, 'Users' are granted generic write access to any .log files created. This can be disabled by setting ini:GrantUsersAccess=0 |
Release 2024-02-02 - 14.0.4
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the desktop preview did not work in all cases |
| FIX | Fixed an issue introduced in 14.0.1 where when running as SYSTEM, InstallFinished* messages were no longer displayed in the console session as the progressbar was closed prematurely |
| CHANGE | MCUpgrade.exe can now also be run without a .mcu file. Previously, this would be prevented by the LogonDomains filter, which was compared to an empty domain in that case. |
Release 2024-01-30 - 14.0.3
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where symlinks were removed during fixpack only installation |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where the new data, new program, and new shared data directory were not parsed for symlinks in case of a fixpack / in-place only installation |
| FIX | Fixed an issue where checking for whether a registry key exists did not always work |
Release 2024-01-26 - 14.0.2
MCUpgrade | |
|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed an issue where animated GIFs stopped working since (including) 12.0.20 |
| CHANGE | Changed the default splash screen to the new 2024 MarvelClient for Notes 14 design |
| ENHANCEMENT | In case MarvelClient Upgrade can not elevate via the panagendaInstallerService, the following log output is added in addition to the "OpenPipe failed": ... please verify that the panagendaInstallerService is installed and running. |
