# What's new in Kasm 1.13.0

## Highlights

- {doc}`Workspace Registry</guide/workspace_registry>` for selecting which workspaces to install. Share/publish a repository of container-based images that are available to the community.
- Users can Stop and/or Pause container-based sessions from the {doc}`Workspaces Launcher<../user_guide/launcher>`. Paused sessions retain processes/memory state for seamless workspace restoral.
- Admins can create new docker custom images from active container-based sessions directly from the UI and optionally push to a docker registry using {doc}`Create Image from Session</guide/sessions>`.
- Admins can now assign arbitrary {doc}`file/content mapping<../guide/file_mappings>` to container-based sessions, such as a desktop background, Chrome policy, license key or a custom startup script.
- Session handling for SSH and legacy-VNC {doc}`server endpoints</guide/compute/servers>` for connections into resources that are not running RDP or KasmVNC.
- Enhanced mobile/tablet support through Progressive Web App (PWA) - {doc}`User Guide <../user_guide/pwa>` /  {doc}`Admin Guide <../guide/pwa>`.

## Features

- **Usability Enhancements**

  - Support for {ref}`fullscreen` view in a Kasm session through a control panel toggle.
  - Admins can {doc}`import/export system configurations</guide/import_export>` for slipstreaming version-controlled configurations during automated deployments.
  - User sessions can be stopped, paused or resumed (In addition to delete), based upon new {doc}`Group Setting <../guide/groups>` ( `allow_kasm_delete`, `allow_kasm_pause` and `allow_kasm_stop` ).
  - Admins are able to stop/start/resume container-based Workspaces from the {doc}`Sessions</guide/sessions>` page or modify the outcome of `keepalive_expiration` by using the `keepalive_expiration_action` Group Setting.
  - Server pool preference for the oldest server available when connecting to ensure servers in the pool are fully configured by the startup script before attempting to connect.
  - Token Drift {doc}`Global Setting</guide/settings>` defines a maximum time drift for physical {doc}`TOTP tokens</guide/two_factor>`.
  - Google Recaptcha {doc}`Global Setting</guide/settings>` moved from **Cast** to **Auth** category.
  - Added **Uncompressed Image Size (MB)** setting to {doc}`Workspaces definitions</guide/workspaces>`. The Agent will utilize this value to avoid pulling images that would result in the disk becoming full.
  - Stop seeding default workspaces images during installation by default.
  - Added support for using databases with non standard name and user.
  - Updated installer with more verbose storage requirement information and allow users to bypass if needed.

- **Infrastructure Support Enhancements**

  - Expanded RDP casting configuration for custom RemoteApp {doc}`Casting Configurations <../guide/casting>` to allow URL parameters to be passed to Windows RemoteApps as arguments.

## Bugfixes

- Connecting to Server and Server Pool based workspace sessions would fail if credentials were not defined on the Server record.
- When updating a Server Workspace, changes to the selected server would not apply when submitted.
- Fixed issue with request_kasm and join_kasm developer APIs that prevented sessions from being created when the caller wished to create an anonymous user.
- Fixed a bug where Workspaces could fully install with a broken database configuration.
- Fixed a bug where Docker in Docker images were using the incorrect storage driver "vfs" by default.
- The kasm_api service logs 404s as warnings instead of errors.
- Check for lsof during install and install if not found.
- Updates to Workspaces records will now check if the updated **Docker Image** defined is present on an existing Agent. If not present, the **available** flag will be cleared, and a warning will be visible on the Workspaces launcher until an Agent checks in with the defined Docker Image.
- Properly parse user input and use correct manager token for Agent role install.
- Updated Github OIDC integration to support mapping in the Github user's email address.
- Selection checkbox for restricting a workspace to an agent detatches the agent will unselected.
- Bug which prevented the use of the session_time_limit group setting.
- Workspaces now enforces the container user to 1000 unless overridden via Docker Run Config Override Workspace or Group Settings. 
- Phone number uses the correct phone field instead of the organization field on the user profile.
- Fixed an issue during the 1.12 migration that prevented editing of Kasm agents.
- Fixed incorrect endpoint path being used in multi-server deployments for manually logging with username/password into RDP servers
- Fixed a mobile bug on the workspaces dashboard where closing the launch modal triggered a click on the workspace tile behind it.
- Fixed a bug where Workspaces of type "pool" incorrectly displayed agent pools as well as server pools.
- Fixed a bug where the control panel tab still displayed in a cast session even when control panel was disabled by the administrator.
- Added a minimum safe value for keepalive_interval to stop 0 being entered to prevent excessive requests.
- Fixed a bug where the control panel tab still displayed in a cast session even when control panel was disabled by the administrator.
- Fixed a bug with not being able to update some cloud provider VM configurations after the initial creation.
- Fixed a bug on relevant images which would prevent vscode from running on WSL based Docker hosts.
- Fixed a bug where if a workspace didn't have an icon defined, the default icon wasn't being displayed when launching, resuming or deleting sessions, and it was missing from some modals as well.
- Fixed a bug where Workspaces could fully install with a broken database configuration.
- Fixed a bug where Docker in Docker images were using the incorrect storage driver "vfs" by default.
