Release Notes

## Version 1.4.0
### New Features
- **Intel Driver Management**: Full support for Intel driver detection, updates, and rollback
 - `Get-IntelDevices` - Detect Intel devices by vendor ID (VEN_8086) and device class
 - `Get-IntelDriverUpdates` - Scan for available Intel driver updates using catalog-based approach
 - `Install-IntelDriverUpdates` - Download and install Intel drivers with snapshot support
 - `Initialize-IntelModule` - Initialize Intel driver management
 - `Invoke-IntelDriverRollback` - Rollback Intel drivers by device class
 - Catalog-based driver management (Config/intel_drivers.json) since Intel DSA has no CLI support
- **Enhanced Orchestration**: `Invoke-DriverManagement` now supports Intel updates
 - `-IncludeIntel` parameter (defaults to `$true` - auto-detect Intel devices)
 - `-IntelOnly` parameter for Intel-only updates
 - Intel updates run in parallel with OEM and Windows Updates
- **Intel Update Approval**: Extended approval system for Intel drivers
 - `-AddBlockedIntelDevice` and `-RemoveBlockedIntelDevice` parameters
 - `Test-UpdateApproval` supports Intel device ID and device class checking
- **Improved Non-OEM Support**: Better handling of non-Dell/Lenovo systems
 - Pending reboot now warns instead of blocking updates
 - Windows Updates and Intel updates proceed even when OEM is unsupported
 - More graceful handling of systems without OEM support

### Bug Fixes
- Fixed pending reboot check to warn instead of blocking all updates
- Fixed Windows Updates not running on non-Dell/Lenovo systems
- Improved success/failure logic to accurately reflect what actually happened

## Version 1.3.4
### Bug Fixes
- Fixed PSWindowsUpdate alias warnings by removing aliases before reimport
- Improved error suppression during module import to prevent harmless alias conflicts
- Alias warnings no longer appear when calling Block-WindowsUpdate, Get-BlockedUpdates, etc.

## Version 1.3.3
### Bug Fixes
- Fixed missing function exports: Block-WindowsUpdate, Get-UpdateApproval, and other UpdateBlocking/UpdateApproval functions were not exported
- Added all missing functions to Export-ModuleMember in DriverManagement.psm1
- Functions are now properly available after Import-Module

## Version 1.3.2
### Bug Fixes
- Fixed array filtering bug where removing the last item from BlockedKBs, BlockedDrivers, or ApprovedUpdates would leave a null element instead of an empty array
- Now properly filters out null values after Where-Object operations

## Version 1.3.1
### Bug Fixes
- **PowerShell 5.1 Compatibility**: Fixed null-coalescing operator (`??`) usage that prevented module from loading in PowerShell 5.1

 - Comprehensive exit code handling: `Get-DCUExitInfo` with 25+ documented codes
 - Version check before download: `Get-DCUInstallDetails`
 - Offline catalog support: `Set-DCUCatalogPath`, `New-DCUOfflineCatalog`
 - Settings management: `Get-DCUSettings`, `Set-DCUSettings`
