tms_client / Tlxconfig 8.4.7

tms_client 8.4.7

Bugs fixed

• folder name in the log file zip archive sent to TMS is missing the first character, and hotfix list filename is missing an underscore

Other

• license expiry year is now sent to TMS in network byte order, unless the TMS version is 8.0.0 or 8.0.1; this properly fixes potential endianness problems, and will be necessary for TMS 9.x

Tlxconfig 8.4.7

Bugs fixed

• redirection of a USB serial port doesn't work due to case mistake in device pathname (ttyusb0 rather than ttyUSB0)

New features

• support out-of-band USB redirection using USBIP, mainly as an alternative to USB redirection in RDP mode, which has significant availability limitations; requires app/driver on the desktop server and direct server-to-client network access, and is mutually exclusive with mode-specific USB redirection (requires TLXOS >= 5.0.4/5.2.4)

Other

• NX mode is now only incuded in the application mode list if the local O/S actually supports it (TLXOS >= 5.3.0 no longer does)
• the effect of license revocation has changed such that it now requires less safeguards, so the Revoke license action has been reinstated with a reworded warning message; the new revocation behavior is to immediately downgrade the device's license to an expired Trial license
• removed Printer Description File (PPD) from the list of installable file types; in practice installing only a PPD file is too difficult and/or insufficient (since most printers requires additional filter drivers as well) for the majority of users and use cases
