New opsi-winst in experimental

[d.oertel]

Dear opsi users,

Normally we do not comment any publication in the experimental branch.
In this case we want to introduce to you the new features of the opsi-winst/opsi-script 4.11.5.2
before every thing is fixed and can't be changed any more.
This would be the case if we publish it as testing.

The 4.11.5.x opsi-script version will be the stable version for opsi v4.0.6.
But you may use it at opsi v405 as well.

Here is a short overview:

– Files commands for hardlinks, symbolic links, rename and move in Files sections
– For-To Loop
– Switch / Case Statement
– New Stringlist function: removeFromListByContaining
– New Stringlist function: LoadTextFileWithEncoding( <file name> , <encoding>)
– New String function unquote2(<string>,<quote-string>)
– New String function GetShortWinPathName(<longpath string>)
– New String function GetConfidentialProductProperty ( <PropertyName>, <DefaultValue>)
– New boolean function CompareDotSeparatedNumbers(<str1>, <relationstr>, <str2>)
– New boolean function CompareDotSeparatedStrings(<str1>, <relationstr>, <str2>)
– New statement UpdateEnvironment. The call of UpdateEnvironment forces Windows to reload the environment
variables from the registry (NT6 only).
– Files command del: ATTENTION changed behavior: Similar like it is implemented for the copy command:
If a system file is in use, then it can be deleted only after a reboot. The opsi-winst/opsi-script default behavior is
therefore that a file in use will be marked for delete after the next reboot, AND the opsi-winst/opsi-script reboot
flag is set. Setting the copy option -c turns the automatic reboot off. Instead normal processing continues, the
deleting will be completed only when a reboot is otherwise triggered.

A more detailed description of the new features you will find in the chapter 'opsi-script / opsi-winst 4.11.5.2'
of the opsi-v406-releasenotes draft:
