[5.7.101] - 2019

Added

  • Vendor field editing in the App Store Profile.
  • macOS Kernel Extension Policy support — distribute packages such as BitDefender to newer macOS versions.
  • New iOS restriction, and support for updating expired SSL certificates on iOS devices.

Fixed

  • Android: KME devices could not enroll as device owner, KME enrollment stopped with a processing error, Knox app blacklisting and kiosk mode misbehaved, enterprise app deployment created duplicate shortcuts, application downloads were slow, auto-configure failed on a non-default MDM port, restrictions were lost when upgrading the agent, and a Huawei tablet was shown as a laptop.
  • OSD: the client failed without a DNS reverse lookup, mapping to a PXE boot server by name failed, packages were not set to waiting when reinstalling, and new NAS servers could not be created.
  • Console: CapaPacks could be upgraded in a child point, multiple packages could not be set to waiting, and copy relations failed on catalog-published packages and with a GETUNITPARENTS error.
  • Replicator: logs were looping, and CapaInstaller Agent.xml could not be rebuilt.
  • Silent server install configured the OS Deployment service with a 10-second refresh interval instead of 60.

[5.8.100] - 2020

Added

  • Compatibility with the Apple App Store for Custom Apps.

Fixed

  • Android: the backup service was disabled, the operating system value was wrong, the APN setting was disabled, enrollment stopped at authentication, the agent renamed itself incorrectly, a nonstandard port was used, and devices were disconnected from Capa.
  • Mac: application installation status was unreliable.
  • Management Portal crashed in Lost Mode when the device had no GPS.
  • Console: upgrading a CapaPack before entering a token gave an error, CapaPack creation failed, the SIM card in slot 2 was not shown, Apple DEP devices were sorted incorrectly, and the computer buffer was flushed even when configured not to.
  • OSD/PXE: DHCP option 128 was empty, NAS on PXE failed, and the agent-configuration username was not retrieved.
  • VPP app installation failed on unknown iOS models.
  • The PerformanceGuard agent used for the CapaInstaller Utilization Index used too much CPU.

[6.0.100] - 2020

Added

  • iOS: unit command to install an updated Enterprise Profile after SSL certificate renewal (Send Command → Install Enterprise Profile).

Changed

  • OSD: existing group membership is preserved when a client is reinstalled into a different Business Unit or Container (still removed when the unit moves to a different CMP).
  • OSD: units are created in the Business Unit’s CMP when CMP Integration is defined on the Business Unit; otherwise under the OS server’s CMP in Units/Computers and Devices.

Fixed

  • The agent reported a wrong version number.
  • Configurator App: QR codes could not be saved on Android 10 or shared via email.
  • OSD: custom fields were not collected in inventory, not applied on reinstall, and failed under UEFI boot; the computer name was not reused after a disk replacement; WinPE inventory was missing network adapters; legacy boot prompted twice for the OSD point.
  • OS Deployment console: froze when importing a model and when cancelling a CapaImage download or extraction; files stayed locked after a cancelled download.
  • Management Portal: crashed when linking a group to a device; computers were not visible right after clicking Install in WinPE.
  • Configuration Management: the CapaPack update indicator was missing, CapaPacks logging wrote to console5.log every 30 seconds, and Windows computers could be added to Android Enterprise.
  • ciBaseAgent: MD5 calculation error when caching files; now reports the current user when the InfoCenter starts.
  • ciFrontend: enrollment from the public URL failed, the OS build was reported twice, and inventory was quadrupled.
  • ciMDM: replication commands got stuck, and the rename command only changed the alias on the device, not in the console.
