PatchWalker 1.20.1

Highlights

  • Idle session timeout. After a configurable quiet period (Settings > Session, default 15 minutes, with on/off) the console shows a 60-second countdown, then signs the user out. While enabled, the sign-in cookie's lifetime is tightened to match - an abandoned or closed session also expires server-side, while active operators are kept signed in automatically. Activity in any open console tab keeps the session alive.
  • The Controller identifies itself. The machine running PatchWalker is marked with an automatic Controller badge on the Machines list, its detail page and the update worklist - including Controllers registered by IP address.
  • Safe Controller self-patching. Installing updates on the Controller - reboot included - is now safe end to end: the install and reboot are recorded before the shutdown is sent, an interrupted reboot command is never re-sent after a restart (on any machine), and the console warns before actions that will take it down. The console reconnects automatically once the Controller is back.
  • Upgrades refresh cleanly. Stylesheets and scripts are version-stamped, so the console never renders with a stale cached stylesheet after an upgrade. (One final hard refresh may be needed when upgrading TO this version.)
  • Activity log on the Updates page persists while checks or installs are running - navigate away and back without losing the live log; completed outcomes surface as notifications.

Install

Download PatchWalkerSetup-1.20.1.exe below and run it on the Controller. It upgrades in place over a running install and restarts the service.
