Bugfixes

  • Fixed bug resulting in unhealthy auto-scaled servers from not getting deleted after the host dead expiration.

  • Fixed Kasm Windows Service failing to update the JWT token after a successful healthcheck, resulting in JWT tokens eventually becoming expired.

  • Fixed bug to correctly set initial timezone in Debian-family workspace core images

  • Fixed Workspace form issue blocking workspace image edits when the image is restricted to a zone.

  • Fixed errors that could occur when Managed Egress Accounts are updated.

  • Fixed bug that caused downloads from the session control panel with certain special characters to fail.

  • Group names and priority numbers are enforced to be unique per deployment. Administrators will be required to update groups that violate these constraints when they attempt to edit the properties of those groups.

  • Updated Autoscale Orphan cleanup check to better identify VMs that have missing Autoscale config associations.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented OpenVPN from working when using Egress on systems with runc versions 1.2.0 or later.

  • Fixed bugs causing some configuration files to be truncated when disk is full. NB: Some app configuration files have moved into new subdirectories.

  • Fixed bug preventing workspace launch after removing zone restriction. To fix a workspace that was experiencing the issue prior to upgrade, open the workspace for editing and click “Save” without making any changes.

  • Fixed bug that caused SAML / OIDC login to fail when the Kasm webapp was hosted on a custom port

  • Increased the allowable length of the JWT token used for RDP local client authentication.
