Description

A complete re-write of LatestUpdate to optimise code and ensure a more predictable response when querying the update feeds.

• Public functions are now:
  • Get-LatestAdobeFlashUpdate
  • Get-LatestCumulativeUpdate
  • Get-LatestNetFrameworkUpdate (new)
  • Get-LatestServicingStackUpdate
  • Get-LatestMonthlyRollup (dedicated for Windows 8/7)
  • Save-LatestUpdate
• External strings including feed URLs, search strings etc. are stored in an external manifest instead of embedded into the module
• Simplified parameters
• Import-LatestUpdate has been removed so that the function fully supports PowerShell Core. Importing an update into MDT can be easily scripted
• Addresses issues Add Support for 1903 #39 Add Support for 1809 #38 Fix and new functionality #36 Dead link #37 Get-LatestServicingStack does not return latest available update. #33 Get-LatestFlash is not returning latest update across all OS #32.

Motivation and Context

• Code improvements to ensure the module is easier to support
• Add .NET Framework Cumulative updates
