Important
This release offers a preview of the upcoming 2.5 changes to add Public Key encryption to direct messages and enhanced session key based security to remote admin messages.
Configuration and UX is available in the Apple apps for the initial technical preview. Messages should deliver on other platforms without any indication that they are now encrypted. Remote administration under the new scheme will require client updates to all of the platforms.
