What's New in This Release¶

Release 24.03 of the Software Client for macOS includes:

Support for macOS 14 (Sonoma)¶

Version 24.03 of the macOS Agent introduces support for macOS 14 (Sonoma), and removes support for macOS 12 (Monterey).

Simplified Update Experience Ensures that Clients Are Always Up to date¶

Version 24.03 introduces a simplified experience for updating Anyware clients. Clients are now equipped to check for new updates and send notifications that appear as banners if an update is available. Clicking the banner redirects to the product download page, from where users can download the client installer.

This allows users to access the newest client version with new features and improvements with minimal intervention. For more information, see Downloading the macOS Update.

Alternative Approach Ensures Added Security While Launching Anyware Client¶

When invoking the Anyware Client via the Command Line, the command line parameters can be viewed in the shell history or process list. To prevent this, the ability to protect sensitive parameter values while launching has been introduced in Anyware Client 24.03.

This is accomplished with the new --ask-extra-args-as-json parameter, which enables the user to pass parameter values to the pcoip-client process via Standard Input. With this new approach, sensitive parameter values are not stored in the shell history or process list, thereby ensuring enhanced security while launching the client. For more information, see Securely Passing Parameters via the Command Line.
