What's new

v10.7 [Oct 11, 2021]
It's time for another update. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and worked with us to diagnose and fix issues. In this version we made the following changes:
• Invertible cursors (like the I-Beam) are now outlined to make them visible on dark backgrounds.
• The underlying code backing the Connection Center (PCs and Workspaces) has been significantly improved.
• Added support for local window move in RemoteApp scenarios.
• Updated the Connection Information dialog (Connections > Show Connection Information).
• Added screen capture protection for Azure Virtual Desktop scenarios (https://aka.ms/avdscp).
• Addressed a design defect that was allowing folders to be redirected multiple times.
• Addressed reliability issues identified through crash reporting and feedback.
• Updated Help > Submit Feedback to navigate to a new support forum.
In addition, we have continued to make updates to improve security, connectivity and performance metrics when connecting to Azure Virtual Desktop.
Note that by default local window move in RemoteApp scenarios is disabled. To enable local window move, set the EnableRemoteAppLocalMove user default to true.
We appreciate all the comments sent to us through the App Store, in-app feedback and email. If you encounter any errors, you can contact us via Help > Submit Feedback.
