v2607.1

[AshleyHow]

Known Issues

• Due to Microsoft not updating atom feeds for July updates for hotpatch capable OS, certain data such as build or KB may be missing.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes for CDN Errors #62.
  • Added HTTP headers to more closely simulate PowerShell behaviour and help reduce the likelihood of Akamai CDN request blocking.
  • Introduced a local cache to reduce repeated requests and help avoid Akamai CDN request blocking. The default cache time-to-live (TTL) is 8 hours.
    • Added the -CacheTTLHours parameter (alias -TTL) to allow a custom cache TTL of up to 30 days.
    • Added the -NoCache parameter to bypass the cache and retrieve live data.
    • Added the -RefreshCache parameter to force regeneration of the cache if it becomes corrupted.
• Fixed 2603.1 - Hotpatch #64. Microsoft changed the update history pages to include multiple OS builds within the same OS version.
• Fixed Unable to get some Hotpatches #65 and No data for Server 2022 and 2025 #67. Microsoft changed the page layout, causing release information to be parsed incorrectly.

New Features & Improvements

• Added official support for Windows 11 26H1.
• Introduced a new Baseline property for Hotpatch operating systems to clearly identify Baseline releases. Hotpatch-enabled operating systems now distinguish between Baseline and Hotpatch releases.
• Updated the module to support modern TLS negotiation on newer operating systems while maintaining compatibility with Windows 10.

Continuous Integration (CI)

• Updated CI tests to validate all releases for each supported operating system version rather than a single match. This should help prevent future regressions such as 2603.1 - Hotpatch #64.
• Updated CI tests to validate the new Baseline property.
• Increased the delay between CI tests when running without the cache to help reduce the likelihood of Akamai CDN request blocking related to CDN Errors #62.
• Fixed an issue in WindowsOSBuild.psm1 where the actual module import error was not displayed.
• Fixed an issue in Import-HtmlAgilityPack.ps1 that prevented the following assembly loading error from being displayed when running CI tests locally in Visual Studio Code:
  Could not load file or assembly 'HtmlAgilityPack-1.12.4.0-netstandard2.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)
