What’s New

Viva Engage

In this release, we’ve added a new command to help you manage Viva Engage communities more effectively. You can now remove communities that are no longer needed, providing better control over your Viva Engage environment and helping you maintain a clean and organized workspace.

To remove a Viva Engage community specified by name, run:

What’s changed

This release also brings some other great changes. Aside from many improvements in the codebase and bug fixes to elevate the overall CLI experience, there are several important updates we’d like to highlight.

Node.js Support Update

We’ve removed support for Node.js 18, which has reached its end of life, as part of our ongoing effort to maintain compatibility with the latest and most secure versions of Node.js. This change ensures that CLI for Microsoft 365 continues to leverage the latest features and security improvements available in newer Node.js versions.

Docker Improvements

We’ve enhanced our Docker support with several improvements:

  • Alpine 3.20 Image: Added support for Alpine 3.20 in our Dockerfile, providing a more up-to-date and secure base image for containerized deployments.
  • Fixed Docker Image Completion: Resolved issues with command completion in Docker environments, ensuring a smoother experience when using the CLI in containers.

These Docker improvements make it easier to deploy and use CLI for Microsoft 365 in containerized environments, whether you’re running it in development, testing, or production scenarios.

SharePoint Online Enhancements

We’ve improved how SharePoint Online page commands work with different page layouts. The spo page commands now properly handle emphasis sections for highlighting content and vertical sections for column-based layouts. This makes it much more reliable when creating or modifying pages with complex structures through the command line interface.
