ThinLinc 4.20.0 beta available for testing
The next release of ThinLinc is almost ready. Before the official launch of version 4.20.0, we’re making a beta build available for public testing. This beta includes over 100 fixes and improvements. Some of the most prominent changes are:
-
ThinLinc’s web-based services, Web Access and web administration, have
both been overhauled to make sure they work well behind reverse HTTP
proxies, even in complex cluster configurations. This includes making
sure that the correct client IP address is used in logs and when
authenticating.Some configuration is still required in the HTTP proxy. See the
ThinLinc Administrator’s Guide for details. -
The ThinLinc client now remembers previously used servers and will
offer suggestions in the server name field, making it easier to switch
between multiple ThinLinc installations. -
ThinLinc Web Access can now be customized with a custom logo, page
title, and background image, to give end users a familiar experience
when accessing the system. The settings can also be conveniently
configured and previewed through the ThinLinc web administration
interface. -
32-bit applications are no longer fully supported in a ThinLinc
session. Base functionality will be available on a “best effort”
basis, but full functionality requires upgrading to 64-bit
applications. -
The ThinLinc client no longer supports 32-bit Windows. A 64-bit
Windows installation is now required. The ThinLinc server remains
backwards compatible with older clients, for those users who cannot
upgrade in the near future.
