What's New in This Release¶

In addition to bug fixes and stability enhancements, the Software Client for Linux introduces the following:

Pre-session Client Interface is Now Localized¶

The pre-session interface language can now be changed. The client will automatically use the system's configured language if the language is supported. For more information and instructions for changing the language, see Language Support.

High Performance Client Mode is Now Default¶

The Software Client for Linux's high performance client mode is now enabled by default, and recommended for most users. Previously, this mode was available as a technology preview. The previous standard mode can still be enabled by switching to Standard Performance Mode, if desired. For more information, see Client Modes.

When a connection has a single desktop available, the desktop is now automatically selected and authenticated, without requiring a desktop selection step.

Users with multiple desktops available will continue to select their desired desktop after authenticating the connection.

For instructions on creating a connection, connecting to a session, and managing remote desktops, see Connecting to Remote Desktops.

The Collaboration Manager can now be launched from a new Collaboration menu option in the Software Client for Linux's menu, in addition to launching from the system menu bar. For more information, see Sharing Your Session With Collaborators.

New Anyware Modes Information Dialog¶

Information related to PCoIP Ultra acceleration modes is now available via the Connection Health Indicator on the Software Client for Linux interface. A tooltip has been added next to Mode on the Anyware Health window, which opens the Anyware Modes dialog containing a brief description on the PCoIP Ultra acceleration modes.

PCoIP Ultra modes are configured on the PCoIP agent. For more information, see PCoIP Ultra Modes.

Bloomberg Keyboard Support¶

Bloomberg Keyboards 4 and 5 are now supported when connecting a Software Client for Linux to PCoIP Agents for Windows. For more information, see Bloomberg Keyboard Support.

Ubuntu 18.04 Is Now Obsolete¶

Ubuntu 18.04 reached end of life on May 31, 2023, and is now obsolete. It is no longer a supported operating system for the Software Client for Linux.
