Courier v0.5.19 (beta)

Courier v0.5.19 (beta)

A Beta build on top of 0.5.16: two-factor sign-in, notices to Active Directory groups and OUs, and the school's name and logo on the all clear.

New

  • Two-factor sign-in. Each account can turn on sign-in with an authenticator app: scan the QR code, then enter a six-digit code at each sign-in. An administrator can reset another account's two-factor if the phone is lost, but not their own -- turning your own off needs your password and a code.
  • Notices to Active Directory groups and OUs. Choose computer groups or OUs from your directory as a Devices audience, or user groups and OUs as a People audience. Nested groups are followed, and each computer or person is counted once. One notice can reach up to 2,000 computers.
  • A warning for computers that share a name. Courier matches computers by name, so if two computers in a group or OU have the same name, Preview says so before you send.

Improved

  • The all clear carries the school's name and logo, the same as the notice it clears, and names that notice in its heading: "All clear: <the notice's title>".
  • This build includes RSJ Agent 0.8.44; Courier offers it to your computers.

Download

File Description
CourierSetup.exe The whole Courier server -- install it on the Windows Server that will run Courier. The Courier module for your PCs is inside it and is handed to each PC by your own server. The RSJ Agent that runs the module on each PC is a separate install.

The two Source code links GitHub adds to every release hold only this repository's README and security policy, not the product.

SHA-256 checksum

Verify your download matches this before running it (PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\CourierSetup.exe):

About the beta

A beta build is newer than the public release, for trying new features before they reach everyone. It is tested by RSJ Software
but may still have rough edges. Install it over an existing Courier: your accounts, history and settings are kept.

To be offered betas, choose Beta under Settings -> Updates -> Update channel; you are also offered every public release as it
comes out. Tick Allow automatic updates there too if you want them installed without asking. To leave, choose Stable:
nothing older is ever installed, and the next public release arrives once it is newer than the beta you have.

What to expect when installing

Run the installer on the Windows Server that hosts Courier; it asks for administrator approval. The installer should name
RSJ Software Ltd as its publisher. If the publisher shows as unknown, do not run it -- tell us in an Issue on the main
repository. Take a copy of Courier's data folder first, with the Courier service stopped, as you would before any upgrade.
