LOGINventory Version 9.2.0
New With version 9.2, LOGINventory has been extended to include the management of peripheral devices. This means that peripheral devices such as headsets, docking stations, monitors, etc. can be created and managed as assets in LOGINventory via the asset editor. Labels with QR codes can be printed for all devices – regardless of whether they are peripheral devices or scanned assets. By scanning the QR code, you land on a mobile website that displays all the details of the device. Likewise, the handover (issue / return) of the device to a user can be digitally documented here (including signature on the smartphone). This way, you always know which user received which device and when – without having to maintain Excel lists. The most important innovations can be seen here in the video:

Offline Agent Version 9.1
Version 9.1 (08/17/2022):
With version 9.1 of the offline agent, changes to the configuration (e.g. adjustments to the URL or changes to the password for the user account to be used) can be distributed to the agents for the first time without having to combine this with an increase in the version number. For this purpose, a new repair action has been introduced in the OfflineAgent_msi.xml.
For background: in the OfflineAgent_msi.xml there are control commands that influence what an offline agent installation does with already existing other versions. Thus, in the default configuration, the uninstall action removes previous versions (if any).
So if the line <action name="repair" version="9" /> is present in the OfflineAgent_msi.xml, an update of the offline agent is triggered if the modification date of the OfflineAgent_msi.zip is newer than the date of the last local update installation of the offline agent.
