TMS 8.3.0
Solution
TMS 8.3.0
Bugs fixed:
tmsDB::cache size is never set (default size of 100 is used instead)
mangled "mac=storage=" lines in departments.ini due to failure to remove "mac=" prefix from lines in old format
should prevent user from applying hotfixes to mixed versions before dialog is shown
only the first version of tms_client is downloaded if more than one is selected
incorrect grey-out behaviour for Referent cells in Displays window
on Linux versions only, unzip operations ignore umask and create files/directories that other users can't overwrite
incorrect bounds check on mouse sensitivity (range is 1-5, not 0-100)
multiple bugs in Install File implementation could segfault TMS
fails to send settings for highest numbered mode to v8 clients due to incorrect loop boundary condition
still can't clear a Restricted Feature Password once set, despite new checkbox
current size of main window is not remembered when TMS is restarted
New features:
automatically scan for WiFi access points and present results as WiFi SSID pick-list in Network Configuration window; also displays access point metadata (channel, signal quality and whether network is open) via tooltips (requires tms_client >= 8.3.0)
add option to shut down device on application exit (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
add configuration options for optional insecure x11vnc service (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
add TMS beacon as optional service (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
add option to edit /boot/config.txt (Pi only - requires tms_client 8.3.0)
allow setting of session shadowing defaults (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
display ThinLinX announcements/news when detected during new updates check (we'll use this only to announce major improvements, and fixes / workarounds for major bugs)
add "Last Seen" column (shows date and time of client's last communication with TMS)
support fallback MAC-address-based licensing for PCs with missing or known-non-unique product_uuid (requires tms_client >= 8.3.0 or Tlxconfig >= 4.6)
allow display duration (now renamed cycle time) to be set for Web Content in Digital Signage window (requires at TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2 to have any useful effect)
load SSL certificate and private key from external files, allowing use of own PKI and thereby preventing administrative hijack by "rogue" TMS servers (requires tms_client >= 8.3.0)
log audit events to eventlog/syslog (provides "who did what when and to whom" audit trail)
Removed features:
Google Cloud Print (now useless because Google has turned this service off)
Other:
Raspberry Pi Audio Output behavior change: using a setting other than "Auto/USB" will now force use of internal audio, rather than merely change the internal audio preference when no USB device is present (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
complete overhaul of all Qt forms, windows now have much better layout and resizing behavior
remove unnecessary checkboxes from download, hotfix and storage selection windows (you can now just multi-select rows by clicking on them)
declutter downloads window by listing tms_client updates only once
remove pointless 2 MiB installed file size restriction
remove extraneous information from hotfix description in hotfix selection window
display error if user fails to specify any relative display positioning in Extend Desktop mode
ask user if they want to revoke the license also when deleting a device from TMS
add Type column to Downloads window, and allow sorting by column
allow reinstallation of Paid licenses if the Expiry Date doesn't match what is reported by tms_client (as a "stale TLXOS version" recovery aid)
