v1.4.0

SPSCleanDependencies - Release Notes

[1.4.0] - 2026-07-09

Added

• Results history — the audit no longer overwrites its output blindly. Before each run the current Results\<FileName>.json is archived into Results\history\ with a yyyyMMdd-HHmm timestamp:
  • Backup-SPSJsonFile (public) creates the timestamped copy.
  • Clear-SPSLogFolder (public) is the single retention/rotation implementation, reused for both transcript logs (*.log) and archived snapshots (*.json). Retention = 0 disables pruning.
• HTML report — Export-SPSCleanDependenciesReport (public) renders the results JSON as a self-contained, dependency-free HTML file: one summary card per dependency category plus a filterable/sortable table per non-empty category, or a clean "nothing to clean" state. Backed by internal helpers ConvertTo-SPSHtmlEncoded, Get-SPSReportHtmlHead, Get-SPSReportCardHtml, Get-SPSReportHtmlScript (pattern from SPSUpdate.Common).
• Entry script — the audit run now archives the previous results, writes Results\<FileName>.html, and prunes old history/logs. The current Results\<FileName>.json stays stable (still the exact input consumed by -Clean); only the history copies are timestamped. New -HistoryRetentionDays (default 30) and -LogRetentionDays (default 180) parameters control retention; 0 disables pruning.
• Pester coverage for the new functions and the audit-branch wiring.

v1.3.0

SPSCleanDependencies - Release Notes

[1.3.0] - 2026-07-09

Changed

• Restructure the helper module into src/Modules/SPSCleanDependencies.Common (aligned on the SPSUpdate pattern):
  • One function per file under Public/, internal SQL helpers under Private/ (Get-SQLMissing*, no longer exported).
  • A loader .psm1 dot-sourcing Private/ + Public/, and a clean .psd1 manifest (ModuleVersion 1.3.0, correct FunctionsToExport) replacing the mis-named, never-imported SPSCleanDependencies.util.util.psd1.
  • The former module-level classes / ArrayList collections / jsonObject are folded into Get-SPSMissingServerDependencies, so the module holds no mutable state.
• The entry script moves to src/SPSCleanDependencies.ps1, imports the module through its manifest, and sources its version from (Get-Module SPSCleanDependencies.Common).Version.
• The import-time prelude (administrator check, High Performance power plan, SharePoint snap-in load) moves from the module into the entry script, making the module import-safe by design.
• Behaviour on a real SharePoint farm is unchanged.

CI

• Workflows adapted to the src/ layout (paths, PSScriptAnalyzer targets, release ZIP of src/ contents).
• Deprecated GitHub Actions bumped: actions/checkout@v4 -> v7, actions/upload-artifact@v4 -> v7, softprops/action-gh-release@v2 -> v3.

v1.2.0

SPSCleanDependencies - Release Notes

[1.2.0] - 2026-06-11

Added

• SPSCleanDependencies.util.psm1:

  • Add Get-SQLMissingWebPartInfo helper to resolve missing WebPart class IDs to per-page locations.
  • Add Remove-SPSMissingWebPart cleanup function (uses GetLimitedWebPartManager and temporarily clears the site ReadOnly flag).
  • Extend SPMissingWebPartInfo class with location fields (StorageKey, SiteID, WebID, ListID, DirName, LeafName).
  • All Remove-SPS* functions now support -WhatIf / -Confirm via SupportsShouldProcess.
  • Import-time prelude (admin check, powercfg, SharePoint snap-in load) is now gated behind the SPSCD_SKIP_PRELUDE environment variable so the module can be imported on CI / non-SharePoint hosts.

• SPSCleanDependencies.ps1:

  • Implement the MissingWebPart cleanup branch (previously a no-op).
  • Implement the SiteOrphan cleanup branch by wiring up the existing Remove-SPSOrphanedSite function.

• Pester test suite under tests/ covering the script and helper module, including SupportsShouldProcess coverage on every Remove-SPS* function.

• .github/workflows/pester.yml CI workflow running Pester 5.3+ and PSScriptAnalyzer on windows-latest.

Fixed

• Replace Write-Host with Write-Output in Remove-SPSMissingSetupFile and clear remaining PSScriptAnalyzer warnings via a new PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 at the repo root (excluding PSUseSingularNouns to preserve the public Get-SPSMissingServerDependencies name).
• Stop hiding real Import-Module failures in the module Pester tests so future regressions surface immediately.
