Hello friends -

We’re keeping the WebUI fast update trains rolling. Today’s update is pretty straightforward: we’re expanding coverage in WebUI patch to include Patches for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.

Additionally, we’ve fixed a bug in the SWD app to allow the creation of SWD packages from a custom site with non-ascii characters in its name.

As always any questions about any of this feel free to poke us here.

Today’s fast release push resolves the following issues:

Device Target Limits set by the Permissions app are now respected by the Patch App
Discrepancies between device groups in the WebUI and thick console for baseline applicability have been resolved (APARs IJ0812, IJ02762)
There’s a fix for “Show-non-relevant” buttons in certain spots in device lists in the WebUI
A fix to the TakeAction application makes SWD packages deployable in the WebUI
The following predefined queries inside of the Query app have been fixed to return results properly:
- Does specific file by MD5 hash exist (Windows)
- Running processes with MD5 hash (Windows)
- Running processes with SHA256 hash (Windows)

As always any questions about any of this feel free to reply to this thread.

This week, in addition to WebUI SWD, we also published the following:

Takeaction, site version 5
Query, site version 14
Framework, site version 5
Common, site version 48

Reason for Update

Takeaction was published to handle new metadata that the new version of Software Distribution requires. For more information see: Earlier this week we pushed out WebUI content to enable additional functionality in the Self Service Application: BigFix Self-Service Application and Software Distribution have been updated (December 2018)

Query was published to remove event-stream as one of it’s dependencies.

Framework was published to resolve an issue with login where successful authenticated users would be stuck in the cache loading page.

Common was published to bring WebUI’s node dependency to 6.15.1 from 6.14.0.

Actions to take:
None
