Two new types of filters called "Run script" and "Run uploaded script" are made available for packages. The new filters give you the freedom to cover advanced scenarios.

You can create a custom script as a filter and run it to check if the system fulfils the right conditions to install/launch applications or actions.

The following script languages are supported:
• Batch
• VBScript
• Windows PowerShell
• Bash
• ZSH
• JavaScript
• AppleScript
• PowerShell (core)

Event tagging for Splunk

You can now add event tags to event collectors within Liquit Workspace. These tags are sent to Splunk where you can use them to further filter events. For more information, see Event Collectors.

Google Trust Services was added to the list of providers supported by Liquit Workspace. For more details, see Domains.

Detect non-managed running MSI installation

Because Windows cannot run two MSI installations at the same time, and to prevent 1618 errors, Liquit Workspace can now detect MSI installations running externally. Liquit Workspace waits 2 minutes for the external MSI installation and then proceeds with its own MSI installation.

New system variables

Additional predefined system variables related to package execution were added. For more details, see Variables.

Multiple transforms (mst) on uploaded and networked install

The Install MSI and Install uploaded MSI actions now support multiple .MST files. In the case of Liquit Workspace Agent, only the first one in the table will be applied.
