Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unrelased]

• Heartbeat window for checking status of cameras on current connection.
• VAPIX command pass through to reboot AXIS cameras.
• Parameter selection for camera reports.
• Add RecorderReport

[0.3.2] - 2025-04-02

Fixed

• The Get-RpVmsHardwareCustom command was returning duplicate hardware results. To address this, remove older versions of module and use the latest version to fix the command and its associated button click events.

[0.3.1] - 2025-03-28

Added

• New-RpShortcut
• Desktop shortcut is now enabled by default for Start-RpRemotePro. However, it can be disabled by changing the True value to False.

Fixed

• Removed default output while creating ControllerObject. This will now only be shown when Start-RpRemotePro is called with the -Verbose switch. Previously, this would spam the terminal everytime Start-RpRemotePro is called.

[0.3.0] - 2025-03-23

Added

• Improved Update-RpConfigCommand Get-Help online button.
• Integrated XAML from MaterialDesignXamlToolkit into Themes to assist in troubleshooting dependency issues related to nested assembly usage. The resource dictionary is still being referenced from ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries within the XAML. Ultimately, finding a workaround to eliminate any resources from the XAML would be ideal; however, these will remain for now as they support the development of a robust System.Windows.Application base for WPF in PowerShell.
• Included dependencies in the PowerShell Data File (.psd1).
• Introduced the $env:REMOTE_PRO_SESSION variable to work in conjunction with the WPF application singleton check. This resolves a long-standing issue regarding the handling of nested runspaces. By adopting this approach, the main window for RemotePro is now more closely monitored, and it will initiate a new session when the $env:REMOTE_PRO_SESSION variable is flagged.
• Modified the behavior of Start-RpRemotePro to hide the terminal by default. The -Show-Terminal parameter can be used to display the terminal as usual. This provides a quick and easy method for troubleshooting the main window in combination with verbose output (e.g., Start-RpRemotePro -ShowTerminal -Verbose).
• Added the Show-RpSplashScreen function to display the logo while loading the main window.

Fixed

• Corrected the parameters for Get-RpTicketBlock. This command now functions as expected for retrieving camera information.
• Resolved a .NET error related to System.Windows.Forms.Timer by transitioning to System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer. This change prevents .NET runtime errors that occur if Start-RpRemotePro's main window is closed while nested runspaces from that session are still in use. The command initializes a timer to check the runspace status and effectively delegates the cleanup of runspaces.
• Fixed an improper build that was using the 7.5 core version terminal. Switching to Windows PowerShell has rectified an issue where progress actions were included in cmdlet documentation for common parameters. This was also causing problems when adding modules to the .psd1 file.

[0.2.4] - 2025-03-16

Added

• Show Hardware button by default would display credentials for hardware. This no longer occurs, to see credentials in the hardware reports there is a parameter that needs to be enabled, IncludeCredentials. Navigate the tabs to Configuration > ConfigCommands and check the box in the left column for Get-RpVmsHardwareCustom. Then click the penicl icon () to change the value to true for the IncludeCredentials parameter. Finally, click Submit to save the changes. This will update the RemoteProParamConfig.json to store the modification.

Fixed

• Get-RpVmsHardwareCustom was still using a hardcoded call to Out-HtmlView. This would result in opening two tabs when click on the Show Hardware button.

[0.2.3] - 2025-03-05

Fixed

• Build error.

[0.2.2] - 2025-03-05

Added

• Main Settings Tab
• ConfigCommands Tab - Datagrid for interacting with button mapped commands.
• Module Paths Tab

Fixed

• Adjusted logic to have nested runspace call open runspace for processing the camera report
• NewConnectionFile_Click no longer prodocues error if the file exists. It is now possible to overwrite file if one exists.

[0.2.1] - 2025-02-23

Added

• RemotePro512.ico added to all windows for cmdlets using ShowDialog parameter.
• Improved various examples for help comments.

Fixed

• Added correct link for issues button.
• Help comments for cmdlets by seperating text and code.

[0.2.0] - 2025-02-22

Added

• Online help links for Get-Help switch parameter
• Module scope MemoryStream for reading icon file. This is used by Set-RpWindowIcon if the stream object is not provided. Set-RpWindowIcon will also use Get-RpIconPath by default if a path is not provided.

Fixed

• Get-RpIconPath had incorrect path, correct to use module scope scriptroot

[0.1.9] - 2025-02-20

Fixed

• Commented out icon link
• Remove verbose switch from Set-RpWindowIcon

[0.1.8] - 2025-02-20

Added
