    Hi @Tom-Elliott
    After moving from RC-2 to RC-4 the plugin, the WinPE image and the step that closes the task at the end of the WinPE flow all kept working. Only the Apache part needed a change.

    With RC-4 the whole vhost sits inside FOG’s managed block, so my earlier Alias plus rewrite exception was gone and /fog/winpe_3400/wimboot started answering 308 (FOG’s rewrite rule sends it to the API). Instead of putting the exception back, I now serve the files from /winpe_3400/ (no /fog/ prefix), with an Alias and a <Directory> in a separate conf-available file enabled with a2enconf. FOG’s rewrite rule only matches /fog/, so it never sees these requests, and nothing in 001-fog.conf should need restoring after an update. The only change in the plugin is its WIMBOOT_HTTP_PATH constant.

    Checked after the change: the Latitude fetches wimboot, BCD, boot.sdi and boot.wim from the new path (all 200), WinPE starts, and a full deploy on the Latitude 3400 and one on an HP with the normal FOS/Partclone flow both completed and closed their tasks.

    @heix75 No.

    Not because it’s not a QOL improvement (it is) but because what you see in 1.5.x.x is NOT what is the end goal.

    If you want to see what the UX is moving toward install the version of FOG on working-1.6.

    You’ll understand (I hope), then, why I’m saying this.

    This is a bug in the version check on 1.5.10.2482, not in your install. Your version is current, and you can ignore the banner.

    The check takes the first tag in GitHub’s tag list as the latest stable release. Newer tags (an archive tag and the 1.6.0 release candidates) now sort ahead of 1.5.10.2482, so every stable install shows this warning.

    The fix is merged to dev-branch (https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/pull/1823). It asks fogproject.org for the current versions instead. It ships in the next stable release.
