v1.9.9 last release before 2.0

I'm releasing this to fix ExecutionPolicy issues before I start work on 2.0 and turning Meters on Demand.ps1 to a PowerShell module.

Changelog

• Install supports installing from git urls
• User settings / configuration. Most impactful is mond config AlwaysUpdate which is set to True by default. It refreshes the cache for every search and install command. No need to mond update anymore!
  • You can use mond config AlwaysUpdate false to disable this.
• Install process enhancements
  • Bypasses ExecutionPolicy (it will not change it, you might need to Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestriced -Scope LocalUser)
  • Can recover from ECONNREFUSED (no connectivity or api is blocked by firewall)
  • Installer skin shows status
  • Keeps existing user configuration
• Better bang support
  • mond bang command with -Start -Stop and -NoStart switches. Use mond help bang for more info
  • There's also an alias for mond bang which lets you use the bang command directly eg. bang "!ActivateConfig Mondtholomew\Clock"

v1.3.0 new dev stuff!

User changelog

• Fixed a lot of bugs
• Documentation site https://docs.rainmeter.skin/
• Better install error handling

Skin developer changelog

• New command lock which generates a .lock.inc file listing the plugins the skin uses
  • This is a surprise tool that will help us later :3
• New command open which opens the specified skin in your #CONFIGEDITOR#

Meters on Demand developer changelog

• Improved script structure from the .bat file to code splitting
• Moved all global variables inside the $MetersOnDemand object to stop polluting the scope when sourcing
  • Sourcing still not recommended, see https://docs.rainmeter.skin/cli/sourcing.html
  • TL;DR calling the mond command (eg. & mond install reisir/mondtholomew) from your script as if it was a user works for most things.
  • You may still need to source to get access to the return value of Search, $MetersOnDemand.Cache.Skins and other objects
• New debug command config prints $MetersOnDemand and $MetersOnDemand.Cache
• New debug command cache prints $MetersOnDemand.Cache
• New debug command skins prints $MetersOnDemand.Cache.Skins
• New debug command <property> prints $MetersOnDemand.$Property or $MetersOnDemand.Cache.$Property
• New mond dev command dir opens the directory of the live Meters on Demand install
• New mond dev command refresh reinstalls Meters on Demand

v1.2.5

Fixes mond init not releasing the config editor process it launches.

v1.2.4b

Changelog for v1.2.4b

• Fixed a bug that caused first time installs to fail in v1.2.4
• Better install reporting, now opens the Rainmeter About window and prints progress and errors

Original changelog for v1.2.4:

• New command: mond init <SkinName>
  • Creates a new skin and opens the folder in your #CONFIGEDITOR# (set in Rainmeter settings)
• Better install process (of mond itself, doesn't affect mond install)
• -version is now reserved for overriding the skin version when using mond package
  • Use mond version to get the mond version. -version was never documented.
• MonD now behaves under PSRM :3

v1.2.4

⚠️ v1.2.4 is broken for first time installs. Do not use. Fixed in v1.2.4b

v1.2.3

🔍 Install now searches for available skins

You can now mond install mondtholomew and it'll work. If you're a skin author, you should still always tell users to use the full name of your skin (eg. reisir/mondtholomew) but it's now easier to install skins without having to type so much.

🧟 Zombie skins will now be detected and eradicated

Previously if you manually uninstalled a skin, MonD wouldn't notice and would just keep the deleted skin in the cache. Now the install status is checked for each skin, every time the cache is updated.

✏️ Skin name changes are now detected by the API

If a skin was included in the Meters on Demand database and the repo name or owner changed, a duplicate would be created. This issue stemmed from the API using the repos original creator in it's checks. The same issue also made this repo meters-on-demand/cli not be detected by the API for who knows how long, so you might not get v1.2.3 without forcing an update.

Use mond install meters-on-demand/cli -Force to install v1.2.3 if you're affected by this

v1.2.1

mond package now understands deprecated .dll and Plugins\ plugin measures!

v1.2.0b mond package

MonD Package

Added mond package command that creates an .rmskin package from a specified skin.

Features:

• Automatically detects the used plugins and includes them in the package.
• Supports all of the functionality that the Skin Packager does (except the "merge skins" checkbox).
• Set up the optional configuration file once, mond package as many times as you like!
• It just works. If it doesn't open an issue or join the Rainmeter discord and send your complaint to me (@reisir).

Usage:

# Specify skin to package
mond package -Skin "Meters on Demand"

# Running in a skin folder will package that skin
Skins\Mondtholomew> mond package

See the package guide or mond help package for full instructions.

Other changes:

• Improved mond help

Disclaimer

The original v1.2.0 had a minor issue which prevented any future self updates through the Rainmeter Skin Installer... I knew there was a reason I chose to copy the files outside of the installers #ROOTCONFIG#. So if mond version reports v1.2.0 for you, you need to install this update manually.

v1.1.1 Fix connection error on PS < 6 when IE isn't available

Added -UseBasicParsing to the Get-Request function.

v1.1.0 PSRM Support

MetersOnDemand.ps1 can now be used directly as the ScriptFile in a PowershellRM plugin measure. You can also source it . .\MetersOnDemand.ps1 and use the functions in your own script.

[MonD]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowershellRM
ScriptFile=[#SKINSPATH]#Mond\MetersOnDemand.ps1
