This is to give a bit of information and insight as to what features are currently being implemented and tested on future versions of Optimize-Offline, what to expect and what will be getting implemented. All of these features, modules and add-ons are already either complete or going through debugging stages.
- Offline update integrations - which will retrieve the appropriate packages automatically - will be introducted within a few weeks.
- A full XML writer add-on module will allow for the creation of Answer Files using an editable form.
- Current Windows Apps and manifests will be able to be updated.
- A DISM.API and WimgAPI library will be incorporated allowing for full core component removal options and advanced imaging features.
- The creation of custom WindowsPE bootable images will be implemented.
- The ability to apply the image directly to a Virtual Disk or physical disk will be implemented using native Microsoft Win32 dlls (VirtDisk.dll, etc.)
- Local and network deployment compatibility.
- Additional runtime modules to further customize and attain full control over your system.
- Many, many more features.
The full GUI version is in its alpha stage and has been delayed to ensure complete compatibility with PowerShell 6. Its release will be coming soon, though.
