0.15.6

• Fixed comparison of build numbers when checking the installed build is newer than the build in the downloaded installer.

0.15.5

• Version comparisons are now done based on BuildVersion instead of ProductVersion so as not to rely on Major/Minor/Point comparisons (thanks to Greg Neagle's MacSysAdmin 2020 presentation about Big Sur for tips on this).
• Code clean up using ShellCheck.

0.15.4

• Added --pythonpath option so that you can select a different python with which to run installinstallmacos.py. Default is $(which python).
• installinstallmacos.py now has a --warnings option about whether to show the Notes/Warnings in the list output or not. This has been hard-coded into erase-install.sh to maintain current behaviour.

0.15.3

• Fixed another small piece of failed logic around the check for whether there is already an installer which was finding other apps with macOS in the name. Now, only apps with Install macOS*.app will be found.

0.15.2

• Fixed some failed logic around the check for whether there is already an installer in the /Applications folder which was erroneously also looking in other locations.

0.15.1

• Parameters can now be supplied as --argument value as an alternative to --argument=value to provide more consistency with the included tools (installinstallmacos.py and softwareupdate).

0.15.0

• Adds --allowremoval option to the startosinstall command by default. This is an undocumented flag which is required under certain circumstances where there are backup files on the system disk.

0.14.0

• Adds --replace_invalid option for the option to overwrite a cached installer if it is not valid for use with --erase or --reinstall.
• Adds --update option for the option to overwrite a cached installer if a newer installer is available.

0.13.0

• Adds --preservecontainer option for workflows that need to retain a container when performing eraseinstall.
• Adds additional flags to caffeinate to attempt to more robustly prevent device sleeping.
• Fix for missing heading in the full screen display of the --reinstall option.
• Added a test script tests/test-erase-install.sh for testing out functionality.

0.12.1

• Use --forcequitapps when using the macOS Catalina installer, rather than just when running on a macOS Catalina client (issue #25).
