## Change Log

### 2024-11-10: Version 24.11.10

* Added PowerShell version to the config text on startup.
* Added new Window version get methods for both PowerShell 5 and 7 to the config text on startup.

### 2024-11-09: Version 24.11.09

* Added new '-Uno' option which removes ALL apps not in the specified text file. The text file becomes an "apps to keep" list, instead of an "apps to remove" list.
* Added new '-PCOnly' option which removes provisioned apps only. This will leave the apps for the current user untouched.

### 2023-04-28: Version 23.04.28

* Minor improvement to update checker. If the internet is not reachable it silently errors out.

### 2023-04-24: Version 23.04.24

* Added script update checker - shows if an update is available in the log and console.

### 2022-06-14: Version 22.05.30

* Added checks and balances to help with configuration as I'm very aware that the initial configuration can be troublesome. Running the utility manually is a lot more friendly and step-by-step now.
* Added -Help to give usage instructions in the terminal. Running the script with no options will also trigger the -help switch.
* Cleaned user entered paths so that trailing slashes no longer break things or have otherwise unintended results.
* Added -LogRotate [days] to removed old logs created by the utility.
* Streamlined config report so non configured options are not shown.
* Added donation link to the ASCII banner.
* Cleaned up code, removed unneeded log noise.

### 2022-04-26: Version 22.04.26

* Added -PCApps switch to list all MS Store apps on the system.
* Added -UserApps switch to list all MS Store apps installed for the user.
* Added -Help to give usage instructions in the terminal. Also running the script with no options will also trigger the -help switch.
* Streamlined config report so non configured options are not shown.

### 2022-04-22: Version 22.04.22

* If the -WimMountPath is not configured by the user then the default Windows temp folder will be used instead.
* If the -WimMountPath is configured by the user but the path does not exist, it will be created.
* Added a -LogRotate option to delete logs older than X number of days.

### 2022-03-27: Version 22.03.27

* Utility now ignores blanks lines in Apps list file.

### 2021-12-08: Version 21.12.08

* Configured logs path now is created, if it does not exist.
* Added OS version info.
* Added Utility version info.
* Added Hostname info.
* Changed a variable to prevent conflicts with future PowerShell versions.

### 2021-09-07: Version 07.09.21

* Added ability to remove apps from offline images.

### 2020-03-13: Version 20.03.13 ‘Cool’

* Refactored code.
* Backwards compatible.
* Added logging.
* Added config report when ran.
* Added ASCII banner art when run in the console.
* Added option to disable the ASCII banner art.

### 2019-12-03 v2.0

* First public release.
