FastX 4 Desktop Client Release Notes

Release Channel:

Early Access Channel: 4.1.10

Case 93865: Direct connections can be made to sessions running on a different server (a “compute node”), even when the connection to the “head node” is using SSH.
Case 93026: OpenId Connect authentication can now work on a server with a self-signed certificate, if the “Ignore SSL errors” box is checked.
OpenID Connect now works with a 4.1 server. (Earlier versions of the desktop client were not able to connect to a 4.1 server because of a breaking change regarding the token cookie.)
Case 93968: Minor changes to connection editor: “Route all Connections through SSH” option to disable new direct connect feature mentioned above. Separate tabs replaced with an always-visible “Advanced” box.
Case 93934: The “SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE” environment variable is set in order to support the new OpenSSH client included in Windows (and perhaps future versions of MacOS).

Case 92215: The Performance menu is now obtained using ClientComm.
This means that the customized performance menu works even when launching the desktop session from a web connection.
Case 93132: Instead of including all the application icons in one result, the icons are downloaded separately. Customers with a small number of applications probably won’t notice, but for a customer like PGS who creates a large number, this could populate the “start session” dialog faster, as the icons for the applications that are not shown don’t have to be downloaded. For SSH connections, this optimization requires at least server version 4.0.45.
