New Release 10.20

Post by admin » Tue Apr 18, 2017 7:55 am

Hello,

A new version of TSplus is available now.

This is our comment for this new version:

This release 10.20 is the release which fix 99% of the issues studied after the announcement of the new release 10.10.

- Client Generator: For many years, if a new generated client is using the name of a old one, we did not changed the settings stored on the user PC /RDP folder. We added one option to enforce the new setting, even if the connection client name is identical.

- Client Generator: We decided to keep Sumatra as "local PDF toolkit". Some user PCs does not have Acrobat or Foxit, so it keep our connection client able to print on any PC.

- Logon process: We did test and fix issues related to logon/logoff/disconnect/reconnect/capture sessions. The case of single application started has also be studied in detail to prevent cases where a logoff is happening just after the logon. The behavior of the RemoteApp client has been review to avoid the logon Session process to start twice, or to logoff immediately after the logon.

- Single application: We have strength the logon program to warrant a fallback solution if the single application that starts failed to do so. Instead of logoff, we start the Taskbar (RemoteApp) or a full desktop (RDP mode). Please note that if you close too fast the application (within 10 seconds) the system will think that the application failed to start and will go to the fallback new feature. In the AppControl.ini file you can request a logoff to disable this option, or request to start your own default application to be used as fallback.

- SessionID: We have standardize the method to read the user SessionID. Doing so, we avoid some issues related to printing after a disconnect/reconnect.

- Wait without using CPU: We have generalize the use of Windows API to shrink the CPU usage of our programs. This also eliminate some issue where the session was never closed.

- SVCR crashes: We modified the code to prevent SVCR crashes. We are not sure yet that these enhancements will be enough to fix this kind of issue that we hardly can reproduce on our test labs.

- Universal Printer: The Update Release does not install the new Universal Printer driver to avoid regression for existing customers. The new Universal Printer driver is installed for anyone running the Setup program. Please note that in the coming week or so, we will use a new version for the new Universal Printer driver which will enable us to change the paper format (A4 or Letter) and to scale the document to fit into the format even when the margins are narrow ones.

- System Audit: The System Audit is delivering a positive answer if the new, or the old, Universal Printer driver is installed.

- HTML5: We added the option to add in the URL a command line which enable to change any of the settings.js values. The option to use Shift Function keys has been added too.

That means, that the rewritten Universal Printer is included in the Update 10.20.X?

Hello,

Sorry for this obvious bug.

It is fixed now.

Please download again the Setup program.

You can also copy from C:\wsession, from C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\UserDesktop
svcr.exe and copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\UserDesktop\files
Then reboot (mandatory)

Kind regards

John

Hello,

A new version of TSplus is available right now. This new release is 10.20.4.19

This is our comment for this new version:

- Bug with SVRC.exe apparently not fixed properly yesterday
This new compile is just done to fix it.
On our tests, this morning, the problem of SVCR.exe is fixed.

What we have done is:

Install the Setup on a fresh VM.
Reboot
No problem with SVCR.exe

Install the UpdateRelease
Reboot
No problem with SVCR.exe

Remove SVCR.exe from /files/
Install again UpdateRelease.exe
Reboot
No problem with SVCR.exe

We also have done a little change to speed up the logon process.
Hopefully this small change will be a very good one.

Hello,

A new version of TSplus is now available. This release is 10.20.4.27

This is our comment for this new version:

- Client Generator: The generated client was not handling correctly the Universal Printer when Acrobat of Foxit was not installed on the user PC.
It is fixed now.

- Client Generator: The RemoteApp mode was not correctly handle It is fixed now.

- Old connection client connecting to the release 10.20 was not acting as expected for the Universal Printer and the RemoteApp mode.
It is fixed now.

- The form for typing the logon/password was displaying a wrong icon.
It is fixed now

- When a user logon, a password or a domain name was using the "-" character, the result was wrong causing an issue.
It is fixed now

- Web RemoteApp plug-in: Because of the fixes listed for the Client Generator has been implemented, it also fixes now the Web RemoteApp plug-in.

- Universal Printer: For any new installation (not Update Release), we are now using a new release of the Universal Printer. This new release fix the issues when the paper format was with narrow margins of with no margin at all. It also better handle the print fonts. Last but not least, we have now the option to add some printer setting features for the Administrator - This is not yet implemented in the AdminTool but it will be done soon.

Windows is displaying a Security warning pop-up when this new Universal Printer driver is installed. We added a message for the administrator be advise him to accept this new driver. We also added a message if the new Universal Printer driver is not properly installed. This message is display at reboot and when running the System Audit feature. The START Menu includes now 2 new entries to be able to install or to uninstall the new Universal Printer driver. This will help for the support task of our customers.

About the Universal Printer driver, please keep in mind the 3 following facts.
1) In case of Update Release, we do not install the new driver, BUT, the new UP setup program is available and can be used for users which would have issues with their old UP driver.
2) In case of new Setup, it is always the new UP driver which is installed

- Reboot trial message: The reboot trial message was no display correctly.
It is fixed now

- Fixes double connection with RemoteApp-Client
- Improves uninstall process

- SVRC.exe: We have reset SVCR.exe to its original version from AutoIT to avoid cases where it was crashing on some customer systems. We do not know yet why this is happening and we will see if this simple action is enough, or not, to eliminate this kind of issue

- Logonsession has been change to fix two possible issues:
RemoteApp when the TSplus Taskbar was published
Some possible cases where nothing was started

- A new release of HTML5 code has been included

- The Universal Printer driver installation is requiring the administrator to
react when Windows Security warns him about the driver installation.
We change the message which was a GUI by a simple message box.
This will avoid confusion during the setup.

- Fix of uninstall after reboot:
After uninstall AND reboot, the folders was not completly removed
It is fixed now
