Version 1.3
Fixed: - Aligned checkboxes.
New: - Restructured code to make if more efficient. - Removed old api WSUS 2.0 api calls and added (new) WSUS 3.0 api call's. - Changed the approvals options to make it WSUS 3.0 compliant. - Changed the normal searchbox to a regular expression searchbox. - Added Release Notes. Version 1.2
Fixed: - Version 1.1 incorreclty tried to approve older revisions of expired updates. Although nothing bad happened, a exception was thrown and shown in the log window. Previous revisions of expired updates are no longer visible in the list of updates. Previous versions of published updates are still listed in the update list and handled as specified by the user.
Extra: - Added the possibility to specify a deadline. - Added the possibility to overwrite existing approvals (including deadlines). This can be handy when you want to reset the deadlines, or when you do some scripting which depends on the date of approval. This function can also be used to remove deadlines from approvals. - Changed the Target Group selection from a single Computer Target Group listbox to CheckedListbox, allowing you to approve updates to multiple Computer Target Groups at once.
Other: - Added a splash screen. In some situations (like ours) with a frontend/backend setup and a slow backend SQL server connection, the startup of the Wsuster Update Approval Tool takes several seconds in which no activity is seen. The splash screen now indicates the tool is starting up... - Removed all 'Clear All' buttons from the checkedlistboxes and replaced them by 'Invert' buttons. The combination of 'Select All' and 'Invert' buttons is more powerful, the downside is ofcourse you will have to click 2 buttons to clear all checkboxes. - Changed the logging to be more readable. Version 1.1
Fixed: - Old revisions of updates are now processed correctly. The default approval action for old revisions is now set to 'Not Approved'. Please note that the approval of different revisions of updates is a little bit tricky. Microsoft writes about the approval of different revisions of updates using the WSUS API: "You can also approve different revisions of the same update for deployment to different groups; however, if one of the groups is the All Computers group, the approval actions cannot conflict (for example, you cannot approve one revision for installation and another revision for removal). You cannot approve different revisions of an update for deployment to the same group."
Extra: - Added a search filter textbox. You can now search for updates containing a specific text in the update title.
Other: - Wsuster is now build with Visual Studio 2005 and based on the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
Version 1.0
Fixed: - Updates which required license agreement to be accepted before the approval generated an error and were not approved. The current version will open a new window showing the license agreement which can than be accepted (or declined). Extra: - The Wsuster GUI is now resizable! (it should now fit on a screen with a resolution of at least 800x600).
