# v11.0.0 // 2020-02-05 #

+ tron.bat v1.1.9
functions
* initialize_environment.bat v11.0.0
. prerun_checks_and_tasks.bat v1.1.0
* tron_settings.bat v1.0.4
+ Add REMOVE_MALWAREBYTES (-rmb) switch to have Tron automatically uninstall
Malwarebytes at the end of the run
+ Add SKIP_COOKIE_CLEANUP (-scc) switch to have Tron preserve ALL cookies.
Thanks to tbr:sebastian. Note that as of v11.0.0, Tron automatically preserves most
common login cookies by default. Chase.com, Spotify.com, gmail.com, etc.
Stage 0: Prep
. stage_0_prep.bat v1.2.9

Stage 1: Tempclean
* stage_1_tempclean.bat v1.2.7
! Improve Windows Disk Cleanup to suppress output unless we're running with
VERBOSE switch
+ Add code to support the new SKIP_COOKIE_CLEANUP (-scc) switch
* CCleaner v5.63.7540
* Whitelist many common cookie domains to NOT wipe (Gmail, Spotify, various
online banking sites, etc)
- BleachBit v3.0.0
- Remove BleachBit, for a couple reasons (even though I prefer it over
CCleaner):
1. Performs the same function as CCleaner
2. No support for excluding certain cookie domains from wiping (main reason)
Once BleachBit supports cookie whitelisting, we'll switch over to it
exclusively.

# v10.0.0 // 2017-02-09 # ! Major breaking changes in this release, READ THE NOTES
#########################
Significant changes:
- Tron now supports using bundled WSUS Offline update packages. Read the
instructions file or Github readme for information on how to use WSUS Offline with
Tron
- All Tron configuration options moved out of tron.bat and into:
\tron\resources\functions\tron_settings.bat
Use this to change defaults (or just drop your own custom settings file over top
of the default one)
- Tron project version moved out of tron.bat and into:
\tron\resources\functions\initialize_environment.bat
- Most Tron prep and checks moved out of tron.bat and into:
\tron\resources\functions\prerun_prep_and_checks.bat
- All sub-stage scripts now support standalone execution (Tron directory structure
and supporting files must still be intact). Use at your own risk
- New -scs switch and associated SKIP_CUSTOM_SCRIPTS variable. Use this to force
Tron to always skip Stage 8 even if custom scripts are present
- New -swo switch and associated SKIP_WSUS_OFFLINE variable. Use this to force
Tron to ignore WSUS Offline update files if they're present
- Rename -sp switch to -sap
- Rename -sw switch to -swu
* tron.bat v1.0.0
* Major breaking changes; VERSION in this script now just refers to tron.bat
and NOT the overall Tron project version
Tron overall project version now resides in
\resources\functions\initialize_environment.bat. See that file for more details
+ Add REPO_TRON_VERSION and REPO_TRON_DATE to config dump (-c) output
+ Add switch -scs and associated SKIP_CUSTOM_SCRIPTS variable to allow
forcibly skipping Stage 8 (custom scripts). This only has
effect if .bat files exist in the stage_8_custom_scripts directory. If
nothing is there then this option has no effect
+ Add switch -swo and associated SKIP_WSUS_OFFLINE variable to allow forcibly
skipping bundled WSUS Offline updates even if they're
present in stage_5_patch\wsus_offline\client\Update.cmd. Online Windows
Updates will still be attempted
/ Change -sp switch and associated SKIP_PATCHES variable to -sap and
SKIP_APP_PATCHES to be consistent with other skip switches
/ Change -sw switch (SKIP_WINDOWS_UPDATE) to -swu to be consistent with other
skip switches
- Move task "Enable F8 Key on Bootup" to prerun_checks_and_tasks.bat
- Move task "Create log directories if they don't exist" to
initialize_environment.bat
* Update welcome screen with note about Stage 8: Custom scripts
functions
+ initialize_environment.bat v10.0.0 <--- Tron project version number
. Initializes Tron's runtime environment. It also contains and determines the
overall project version and date
NOTE: Sub-stage scripts rely on this script to function if executed outside
of a Tron run (e.g. when run standalone)
+ prerun_checks_and_tasks.bat v1.0.0
. Performs many of Tron's prerun checks and tasks (admin rights check, network
connection check, etc)
+ tron_settings.bat v1.0.0
+ Contains Tron's default settings. Edit this file to change those defaults
NOTE: Sub-stage scripts rely on this script to function if executed outside
of a Tron run (e.g. when run standalone)
Stage 0: Prep

version. Thanks to u/nubduck

was getting pretty large and more difficult to work
on, so moving the various stage's code into their
own scripts should help simplify things and make it
easier to find issues in a particular section.
Tron.bat now calls those job's sub-scripts instead
of embedding their code directly
This also lays the groundwork for future highly-

* stage_2_de-bloat:metro: Expand OEM Metro app purge to include Windows 10
* stage_2_de-bloat:oem: Switch order of debloat operations to target specific
GUIDs first and run wildcard as catch-all afterwards.
The system can't be force-rebooted when targeting a
GUID specifically, but it CAN be when targeting with a
wildcard. So, we first try and catch everything we
know of in hopes that we'll eliminiate some of the GUIDs
that force a reboot in wildcard mode. TL;DR: should
be less forced reboots in stage 2.

! tron.bat:updater: Fix updater bug where download failed integrity check even

! tron.bat:resume: Tune resume feature, should hopefully reduce incorrectly-
detected interrupted runs. Don't re-create tron_resume RunOnce entry
if we detect we're resuming from a previous interruption.
Although we may get interrupted again, this should help prevent
getting stuck in a resume-loop over and over

* Improvements and fixes for grammar, logging, and consistency in almost all sub-
scripts and utilities across the board
tron.bat v6.0.0
+ tron.bat: Add resume function. Tron will now attempt to pick up at
the last stage it successfully started if there is an interruption. You do have to
log back in as the user that originally ran Tron, but assuming the Tron folder
didn't move it should automatically re-launch at the last stage. Major Thanks
u/cuddlychops06 for assistance with this
+ stage_0_prep:sysrstr: Create System Restore checkpoint before beginning script
operations. Windows client versions only, Vista and up (no Server versions)
+ stage_0_prep:stinger: Add McAfee Stinger tool, configured to delete infected
items. Thanks u/upsurper

error. This has been broken since at least v2.2.1 (2014-08-21)

screen
/ stage_0_prep:checks: Move Safe Mode checks before main menu
! stage_0_prep:power: Fix minor errors in power scheme export (Vista and up)
* stage_1_tempclean:bb: Add support for -v switch to BleachBit; BleachBit now
dumps list of actions if -v switch is used
- stage_1_tempclean:ie: Remove redundant IE cleanup in TempFileCleanup.bat, since
Tron runs this natively
! tron.bat:update: Fix error with update checker. Was failing cert check over
HTTPS. Thanks u/upsurper
* tron.bat:logging: Major upgrade. Now use logging functions instead of two
lines per event (one to console, one to logfile). This slows down the script
slightly but lets us remove over 100 lines of code, as well as simplifies
troubleshooting and maintenance. Major Thanks u/douglas_swehla
/ stage_4_patch:7-zip: Send output from assoc and open-with commands to logfile
instead of console
* stage_4_patch:java: Suppress unnecessary error messages about old versions not
being found during previous version removal
! stage_4_patch:reader: Fix a few lines that were displaying messages instead of
sending them to the log as intended
* stage_5_optimize:dfg: Defrag now only runs (assuming it wasn't skipped) if the
system drive is at least 5% or more fragmented
* stage_6_wrap-up: Add message explaning disk space calculations to dissuade
panic about seemingly negative disk space reclaimed

into %LOGPATH%\tron_raw_logs

directories. Tron now does relative path calls directly to each sub-utility rather
than "walking"
in and out the sub-directories in the \resources tree. Now if a file
or directory is missing only that section will fail, rather than the entire script.
A side benefit is it's now easier to drop a replacement Tron.bat on
top of an older \resources tree without having to worry about Tron getting "off
track" based on the underlying directory structure
