This is release 2.29 of IAP Desktop.
This release introduces the following new features:
- Profile badges: If you're using multiple profiles, the taskbar icon now shows a badge indicating the active profile. To use this feature, you must enable the Show badges on taskbar buttons option in the Windows taskbar settings.
- Changed defaults for SSH public key authentication: To address the deprecation of
rsa-sshsignatures in OpenSSH, new installations of IAP Desktop and new profiles now useecdsa-sha2-nistp384by default. For existing profiles, the default remainsrsa-ssh(with a 3072-bit key). You can change these default under Tools > Options > SSH.
In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes, including:
- Right-clicking the tab header of an RDP session while the session was being disconnected could cause the app to crash (237985825, 238222518)
- The Serial log window failed to show the log output when encountering certain Xterm control sequences (primarily affected FreeBSD, 238522944)
- When a connection setting was set to a non-default value on the project-level, resetting the value back to its default on the VM level failed (#724)
Notice about upcoming breaking changes: Upcoming IAP Desktop releases are planned to implement the following breaking changes:
- The functionality to analyze VM and sole-tenant usage will be made available as a separate tool and removed from IAP Desktop.
- Future releases might only be made available for 64-bit versions of Windows.
