tms_client 8.3.0 / Tlxconfig 4.6
Solution
tms_client 8.3.0
Bugs fixed:
/etc/openvpn/client missing from /config santization exclusions
version 1 of CMD_DEV_BLKDEV_LIST doesn't work (harmless, because nothing uses this yet)
AUFS remount attempts occur even when kernel is AUFS-incapable, producing nuisance errors
upgrade files remain in /tmp after use, wasting space and virtual memory
New features:
support fallback MAC-address-based licensing for PCs with missing or known-non-unique product_uuid
support new optional services: insecure VNC server and TMS beacon (requires TMS >= 8.3.0 and TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
support editing of /boot/config.txt (requires TMS >= 8.3.0, Raspberry Pi only)
load CA certificate used to authenticate TMS from an external file, allowing use of own PKI (requires TMS >= 8.3.0)
use external helper to sanitize /config after upgrade (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
allow use of JPEG files for client wallpaper
add application output logs tarball to logs gathered by tms_client (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
add Horizon log tarball to logs gathered by tms_client
add /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt to logs gathered by tms_client
Other:
change default mode from Web to null
tms_client now appends to existing log file rather than overwriting it
Tlxconfig 4.6
Bugs fixed:
temporary file is not removed after file installation
"(None)" is not the default Variant option when selecting a new keyboard Layout
incorrect grey-out behaviour for Referent cells in Displays tab
incorrect License Action displayed when license is invalid
digital signage content synchronization always fails
exactly 6 character Restricted Feature Password is erroneously disallowed
ds_output1_action is set incorrectly in "Images" case
digital signage content synchronization must occur before mode change is triggered
digital signage content synchronization fails to signal AUFS UDBA changes
UI doesn't show (or save) digital signage Content Source locations
UI doesn't show current state of digital signage output selection checkboxes
overzealous checks can result in bogus digital signage setting errors when not in digital signage mode
unsolicited/bogus "full resolution list may require reboot" popup on first startup
New features:
automatically scan for WiFi access points and present results as WiFi SSID pick-list in Network tab; also display access point metadata (channel, signal quality and whether network is open)
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 option to enable TMS beacon (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
add option to edit /boot/config.txt (Raspberry Pi only)
support fallback MAC-address-based licensing for PCs with missing or known-non-unique product_uuid
allow display duration (now renamed cycle time) to be set for Web Content in Digital Signage tab (requires at TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2 to have any useful effect)
add configuration options for optional insecure x11vnc service (requires TLXOS >= 4.10.0/4.8.2)
allow use of JPEG files for client wallpaper
Removed features:
remove Google Cloud Print (now useless because Google has turned this service off)
remove Color Depth options (no longer in TMS, and of very little use)
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)
display error if user fails to specify any relative positioning in Extend Desktop mode
promote TMS more aggressively by starting in the About tab on first run
change default mode from Web to null
create /root/.local/share if missing to suppress nuisance GTK errors
extensive digital signage code simplification
Known issues:
RPi/IoT releases not using KMS (Pi v1-3) fail to set an appropriate default resolution
