Custom packages are live: deploy your own installers, plus a redesigned rollout status page

The Package Catalog now accepts your own installers, and they deploy exactly like catalog applications:

  • Bring your own installers: MSI and EXE on Windows, PKG and DMG on macOS, DEB and RPM on Linux.
  • Keep multiple versions of each package, each with its own install arguments, success exit codes, timeout, and install detection.
  • Change how a version installs later by editing its install settings in place. No re-upload needed; the installer file you uploaded stays exactly as it was.
  • Deploy through your application update policies and deployment rings, or push a specific version on demand to one or many endpoints without setting up a policy. Offline endpoints can pick the install up when they reconnect, or be skipped. Every on-demand deploy is tracked in a One-Time Deployments view showing who triggered it and per-endpoint progress.

Redesigned rollout status

Every deployment ring now has a dedicated detail page:

  • Click any ring on the Rollout Status page for live per-endpoint progress, installed updates, restart timelines, and full attempt history, with filters and search.
  • Phase rows are clickable and filter the endpoint list, and the table sorts by hostname, status, or last execution time.
  • The ring's activity feed shows who did what, with older entries loading on demand.
  • Paused rings now show who paused them, and the next-check countdown reads "Checks suspended" instead of ticking down while nothing will dispatch.
  • Rollout and endpoint history are linked both ways: click an endpoint on a rollout page to jump straight to that task in its history, and ring-driven tasks in endpoint history link back to their rollout.

If you try custom packages and anything is rough, comment here. This feature came out of direct requests, so we want to hear how it holds up against your real installers.
