Version 9.7 (07/09/2026) – Released as part of LOGINventory Version 2026.1.2:

• Improved error handling if no valid OfflineAgent.config is present during installation.
• Fundamental changes to the self-update behavior: detection of when a new update is available; how often installation is attempted; more extensive logging; prevention of unwanted restarts; use of a separate “Updater” folder; use of the account stored in the configuration.
• Writing LastInventory.Method = OfflineAgent to make it possible to distinguish whether LOGINfo.exe was executed locally, for example via logon script, or as part of the Offline Agent.

Version 9.6 (17/04/2026) – Released as part of LOGINventory Version 2026.1.1:

• Improved self-update behavior: revised definition of what is considered a successful update attempt.
• Enhanced logging: logs are more detailed and written immediately – no need to stop the service anymore.

Version 9.5 (11/06/2025) – Published as part of LOGINventory Version 2025.2:

• Improved behavior during self-update: Prevention of automatic reboots. Please note: This change only applies when installing future updates (e.g., to Offline Agent version 9.6).

Version 9.4 (03.06.2025) – Published as part of LOGINventory Version 2025.1.1:

• Changes to the signature check during self-update.

Version 9.3 (05/22/2025) – Published as part of LOGINventory version 2025.1:

• Setup of the Offline Agent no longer installs certificates.

Version 9.2 (13.05.2024) – Published as part of LOGINventory version 9.5.4:

• Improvements to the behavior on terminal servers: In Windows task scheduling, tasks are now only created when a user logs on to the device interactively (i.e. no more creation for remote desktop connections).

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.
