Create evergreen Windows image build pipelines with the latest version numbers and download URLs for common applications (by aaronparker)
Nevergreen
This module is an alternative to Evergreen, and allows you to find the latest version and download URL for various Windows apps. Evergreen uses API queries to obtain its data whereas this module is more focussed on web scraping. This is more prone to breaking when websites are changed, hence the name. (by DanGough)

How do you guys image PC's before they go out the door?
Immy actually installs and keeps a lot of the more popular items from Ninite/Chocolatey up to date since the release of the 'Dynamic Version' feature where Immy reaches out to the vendor to get the latest version. This was inspired by https://github.com/aaronparker/evergreen and https://github.com/DanGough/Nevergreen

Is it possible to automate the creation of application packages?
Evergreen (and its cousin Nevergreen) if you just want the latest installer and you want to do the rest yourself

Anybody using msptoolshed for PC deployments?
Finally, whatever you’ve uploaded to Intune will be stale as soon as an update happens to that package. Immy reaches out to the API to get the agent version that matches your instance of Automate, Control, N-Central, Ninja, Sophos, BitDefender, Printix, CloudRadial, HelpDesk Buttons, and many more. It does this also for many common line of business applications like Adobe, Bluebeam, Quickbooks, Zoom, Greenshot, 7zip, Snagit, Camtasia, I mean we add new ones daily I’m just rattling off the ones I can think of before my wife tells me to put my phone down. To be fair I have to give credit to the guys at Evergreen and Nevergreen for my inspiration. They are really doing the Lord’s work.
