ChangeLog of flexVDI Client 2.2.11 for Linux and Live USB

The 2.2.11 release of the flexVDI client for Linux and Live USB includes several stability and performance improvements.

In particular, the WebSocket library NoPoll has been updated to version 0.4.3, reducing its network overhead considerably. In some scenarios, this may result in firewalls or proxy servers dropping connections due to inactivity. For instance, Nginx drops WebSocket connections after 60 seconds of inactivity. This problem can be easily solved setting the KeepAlive property of flexVDI Gateway. It will send a ping message every certain number of seconds, avoiding this kind of disconnections.

ChangeLog of flexVDI Client 2.2.9 for Linux and Live USB

Version 2.2.9 of flexVDI Client for Linux introduces very few changes. The main one is a fix for a race condition that could potentially crash the client. However, it comes together with version 2.2.9 of flexVDI Live USB Client. From now on, both clients will be released at the same time, due to their obvious connection (that is why we skipped version 2.2.8 of the Live USB Client).

This new version of the flexVDI Live USB Client is based on Porteus 3.2. From the user’s experience point of view, little has changed, besides including all the new features of the flexVDI Client for Linux since version 2.2.7. However, Porteus 3.2 comes with much better hardware support and up-to-date software, so there should be less compatibility issues.

ChangeLog of flexVDI Client 2.2.8 for Linux

Version 2.2.8 of flexVDI Client for Linux comes with many new features and improvements. The main one is that the client is now bundled as an AppImage. As soon as you download it, it is ready to run. No need to install it, just put it into your PATH and give it execution permission. Portability has also been improved, since most dependencies are already included in the bundle. The only additional dependencies needed are the X11 and ALSA libraries.

Other relevant changes from 2.2.7:

  • FLEXVDI-1876: Improved UI flow: The user can navigate back and forth between the credentials form and the manager configuration form.
  • FLEXVDI-1952: Show inactivity timeout warning: As the inactivity timeout is about to expire, the client shows a warning message to the user.
  • FLEXVDI-1969: Automagically share clipboard with guest by default.
  • FLEXVDI-1968: Sort desktops alphabetically.
  • FLEXVDI-1965: The manager entered in the configuration form is saved to the configuration file on exit.
  • FLEXVDI-1978: Allow full keyboard navigation through UI.
