PatchWalker 1.17.0
PatchWalker 1.17.0
Highlights
- Controller address auto-resolves to its FQDN. The manual "Mirror Hostname" field has been removed; app and software deployment, the package mirror and the Ubuntu Pro contracts proxy now always use the Controller's own fully-qualified name. This fixes application deployments failing with "Unable to connect to the remote server" on Controllers with no Linux mirror configured.
- In-app update check. About → Check for Updates asks GitHub for a newer release; Download to Controller fetches the installer and verifies its SHA-256. An optional daily auto-check shows an "Update available" badge in the top bar. The installer is never run automatically — an admin applies it on the Controller.
- Update worklist visibility. Machines being checked now show a "Checking" indicator, checks and installs survive navigating away, and in-progress installs are shown clearly.
- Dashboard accuracy. Severity tiles now reflect currently pending updates and clear to zero once installed.
