Changelog:

  • fixed shutdown and reboot functionality if non ASCII characters are used in the translation.
  • implemented update checking function through wpkg-gp:
    • wpkg-gp (0.17.12) will query wpkg for pending updates, downgrades, installs and removes.
    • you can select which method to use (wpkg-gp or updatefile) with the config file
      (updatefile method only checks for updates, but could put less stress on your server as well
      as work even if there is no connection to the server at the time)
    • using wpkg-gp method you can filter what kind of tasks/actions are displayed to the user (config file)
    • using wpkg-gp or updatefile method you can blacklist packages from being displayed to the user (config file)

This is a test built and i activated the console window to show python exceptions if they occur.
Also note that the info messages and texts are not final and only the german translation in this built is fully translated.

The new update checker method only works with my latest wpkg-gp version (0.17.12).

Check the WIKI for updated information regarding the client configuration.
