- Adds --catalog to allow an easier way to select which software update catalog to use, rather than the defaults set in installinstallmacos.py. Example: --catalog 10.15 will use the catalog for Darwin version 19, --catalog 11 will use Darwin version 20. This is to address omissions in the catalogs for older OSes (somewhat addresses grahampugh#169, grahampugh#160).
- Allow for more lenient checks for Volume Ownership against the entered username (grahampugh#177, thanks to @cvgs)
- Adds --rebootdelay option (Big Sur or later) (grahampugh#193).
- DEPNotify counts down the rebootdelay time.
- Adds --fs option which makes all the DEPNotify windows full screen (download, confirm, preparation).
- User can dismiss the DEPNotify download and preparation windows if --rebootdelay is set to at least 10 seconds.
- Multiple --preinstall-command arguments can now be supplied. These run immediately before startosinstall is run.
- Multiple --postinstall-command arguments can now be supplied. These run after startosinstall has finished.
- Checksums of installinstallmacos.py are now pinned to a tag of the macadmins-scripts repo so that updates to the script don't break a particular version of erase-install.sh from working.
- Add a message about process Terminations, which some people were mistakenly believing to be errors.
- Fixed the actual killing of jamfHelper and caffeinate.
- osascript dialog windows now run as the user (addresses grahampugh#198, thanks to @anewhouse).
- Fixed an issue concerning the catalog for macOS High Sierra 10.13 which has an item without a version string listed, which was causing installinstallmacos.py to error out (addresses grahampugh#169).
