Совсем тихо и без особого шума 24 февраля вышли новые версии VMware View 4.6 и VMware ThinApp 4.6.  Эту новость случайно узнал от коллег http://vmlab.ge и  http://citrix.pp.ru

И так на сегодняшний день мы имеем:

• View version 4.6 | 24 February 2011 | Build: 366101 (View Manager), 349155 (View Composer)
• ThinApp 4.6.1 | 24 Feb 2011 | Build 361923

 

Супер глобальных изменений нет, но есть много интересного.

Некоторые изменения и особенности VMware View 4.6:

• Security servers can now accommodate PCoIP connections — Security servers now include a PCoIP Secure Gateway component. The PCoIP Secure Gateway connection offers the following advantages:
  • The only remote desktop traffic that can enter the corporate data center is traffic on behalf of a strongly authenticated user.
  • Users can access only the desktop resources that they are authorized to access.
  • No VPN is required, as long as PCoIP is not blocked by any networking component.
  • Security servers with PCoIP support run on Windows Server 2008 R2 and take full advantage of the 64-bit architecture.

• Enhanced USB device compatibility — View 4.6 supports USB redirection for syncing and managing iPhones and iPads with View desktops. This release also includes improvements for using USB scanners, and adds to the list of USB printers that you can use with thin clients. For more information, see the list of View Client resolved issues.
• Keyboard mapping improvements — Many keyboard-related issues have been fixed. For more information, see the list of View Client resolved issues.
• New timeout setting for SSO users — With the single-sign-on (SSO) feature, after users authenticate to View Connection Server, they are automatically logged in to their View desktop operating systems. This new timeout setting allows administrators to limit the number of minutes that the SSO feature is valid for. For example, if an administrator sets the time limit to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after the user authenticates to View Connection Server, the automatic login ability expires. If the user then walks away from the desktop and it becomes inactive, when the user returns, the user is prompted for login credentials. For more information, see the VMware View Administration documentation.
• VMware View 4.6 includes more than 160 bug fixes — For descriptions of selected resolved issues, see Resolved Issues.
• Support for Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 operating systems

 

The ThinApp 4.6.1 release adds the following features to improve usability, performance, and updates:

• Improved support for Microsoft Office 2010 applications.
• Known issues related to Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 have been addressed.
• New options have been added to the package.ini file.
• S x S COM is now supported.
• More than 160 known issues have been resolved, resulting in improved application support.
