[Open]

To Add

  • add the following feature
    • We found paths like c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\abdata\abfsal\abdfsal_v* where there are multiple directories with the name abdfsal_v*
    • Implement a simple configuration logic to keep only the last two directories of the matches (ordered by time) but remove the other matching directory names
  • add or replace logging of "starting " with "$($PSCmdlet.MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)". see
    • Refactor Write-LogMessage by using the Write-Verbose etc. message types
  • add usage of transcript
  • add translation files
  • added default value $false to each optional parameter $beVerbose
  • add user remove logic from windows_remove_old_users
  • add configuration section with a list of processes to stop before starting the cleanup
  • add configuration section with a list of processes to start after starting the cleanup

To Change

  • Implement usage of Resolve-Path
  • fix not working calculated values of free'ed up disk space by using Measure-Object
  • read this
  • Evaluate how easy it is to use the collection of paths and create full qualifyed paths out of it
    • This way we would be able to log and process real paths instead of paths with wild cards
    • e.g. C:\foo\*.bar\* would became C:\foo\baz.bar and maybe more
  • Refactor Log-Message and the other Log-* functions
    • Split it into "Log-Message" and "Output-Message" to ease up log with log level verbose but display only with information
    • Maybe create a "outputVerboseLevel" similar to "logLevel" setting
    • or ...
      • Create object Logger and Messenger
      • Create MessengerCollection
      • Pass the MessengerCollection to each function
  • Version 2
    • be open for all know operation systems (windows or unix/linux like)
    • detect operation system
      • create case blocks in the global configuration file
      • adapt path handling and so one, if needed
    • check if this is a thing

[Unreleased]

Added

  • Added dedicated Logger class
  • Added more cache paths of applications
  • Added Clear-Host at the end of the last Start-PathTruncations to refresh screen and remove the last progress bar
  • Added exit statement if global configuration file can not be loaded
  • Added informational log statement if local configuration file can not be loaded
  • Added method Write-ErrorLogAndExit and implemented usage to remove duplicated code
  • Added backwarts compatibility in global configuration to support $IsWindows on powershell below version 7
  • Added support for Lotus/IBM/HCL Notes
  • Added logging if Remove-Item is not able to remove the item
  • Started section documentation and added example image to show something

Changed

  • Refactored TruncableObject by replacing object by a real class
  • Changed output of $user path. Instead of keeping $user, now user path is displayed
  • Refactored way how we write logs by replacing Write-[Info|Debug|Error]Log with Logger.[Info|Debug|Error] calls
  • Found and fixed a bug when dealing with files for paths like \foo\bar\*
    • The path with the * was used so there was never a chance this exact file (matching item) could be removed
    • This fixes also not deleted files in the section of duplicate checks

0.11.0 - released at 20210915

Changed

  • Changed function names to aligne with approved verbs
  • Changed lock file name from CleanUpSystem.lock to <hostname>-CleanUpSystem.lock to enable multiple run on multiple hosts from same source
  • Refactored method naming to fit the style of powershell
    • IMPORTANT, you have to replace the Create-TruncableObject method calls in your local configuration with New-TruncableObject

0.10.0 - released at 20210413

Added

  • Added this changelog
  • Added changelog to do list
  • Added info log about the amount of files to be removed
  • Added check if "days to keep" is 0

    • If the value is 0, we will call Remote-Item on the path without using the result from "Get-Childitem"
