Preview Releases
You can find the Preview release notes below, and you can also learn more about the Preview channel here: Publisher Preview Channel
- Email and Webhook notifications now include information about delayed ConfigMgr applications during each sync.
- Email and Webhook notifications are now sent when a delayed ConfigMgr application fails to download. Previously a notification would only happen if the Publishing failed after the delay.
- Fixed a bug where PowerShell scripts for Intune were created with an encoding of UTF8 with BOM. They are now encoded as UTF8 without BOM, which is the recommended encoding based on Microsoft documentation.
- Fixed a bug where a malformed ConfigMgr folder item (SMS_ObjectContainerItem) would be created the first time the Publisher moved a ConfigMgr application. The result was a folder that could never be deleted.
- Fixed a bug where having a product marked with exclude from auto-publishing rules and a custom naming convention or pause set would cause invalid XML to be generated.
- Fixed a bug where the Collect Logs feature would fail if a company name contained characters that are invalid for file names.
- Fixed a bug where PatchMyPC Scriptrunner logging did not use an invariant datetime format. This could cause CMTrace to fail to parse the logs.
- Intune option added to ‘Copy requirements’ for Intune products. This can be configured globally, per vendor, or per product.
- Recreate Detection right-click option for Intune
- If a PMPC-defined pre or post-script is missing from the content source for ConfigMgr applications then the Publisher will redownload it during a sync, or republish.

- Allow the same Azure group to be assigned multiple times for Intune assignments. This allows a group to be used as both an include, and an exclude.
- Pass variables into pre and post-scripts.
- Note: the %ProductName% and %VendorName% variables are Base64 encoded when they are passed to the pre and post-scripts. It will need to be decoded. Patch My PC will provide a sample PowerShell snippet to decode the resulting parameter.
