Web Client Release History

Release history for older versions of the Workspot Web Client. For recent releases, see Workspot Web Client.

Released on December 6, 2025.
The Upload Files feature is now supported for Cloud Applications.
Because the Web Client doesn't support multiple applications on the same Cloud Server (with unexpected results if you try), the "Disconnect" button has been disabled on the Client’s top menu. To close an application, use the "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" button on the Client's top menu. (Do not press Ctrl-Alt-Delete on your keyboard).
- Workaround: If you don't want to sign out from your application, close the Web Client browser tab.
New known issue: Starting with version 144, Microsoft Edge browser tabs will hang when loading the Web Client if Enhanced Security Mode is enabled.
- Workarounds: See "Page Not Responding" Error, below.

Released on October 25, 2025.
Support for the optional password expiration warnings when using third-party identity providers.
Additional login, session, and other diagnostic data is sent to Watch.

Released on June 28, 2025.
A bug that prevented the Client from connecting to Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktops has been fixed.
A bug that sometimes inactivated the "OK" button on the Client's "Press OK to enter full-screen mode" popup has been fixed.
When an Okta popup appears when signing into a desktop/application, the desktop/application opens in windowed mode even when the Display Options are set to full-screen mode. Workaround: open the Workspot toolbar at the top of the window and maximize the display.

Released on March 22, 2025.
(Enterprise Plus customers.) Client users can no longer access persistent desktops after they've been removed from the Named License Group.
Improved sign-in error messages.

Support for the RPC protocol's Dynamic Virtual Channels for greater flexibility in communication between the Client and remote system.
Security improvements.

The Client now reports when a user's attempt to reboot a Workspot desktop has failed.
Connections that cannot be completed due to password expiration issues are now followed by a specific message that the password must be updated or that the account itself has expired.
A bug in release 4.10 that caused the Web Client to freeze while playing long videos has been fixed.
A bug that occasionally caused a blank screen to be shown instead of the desktop screen after changing settings from multiple monitors to a single windowed monitor has been fixed.

Support for the EU Control instance for data sovereignty.
The Client sends additional monitoring/debugging details for use by Workspot Watch, including the Workspot policies in force, the end-user's Client settings, and posture-check results.

Support for the “Strict/Normal/Less Strict” credential prompting as set in Control with “Setup > Configuration > Credential Caching.” If set to anything other than the default of “Strict,” the user is not always prompted to sign in again after an idle timeout. Previously, the Client acted as if “Strict” were always set.
A bug that sometimes caused end-users of Azure AD-only deployments to be prompted unexpectedly for desktop/app credentials has been fixed.
A bug that caused a long delay before automatic reconnect was attempted on Chromebooks has been fixed.

Support for native display resolution. When the "Settings > Display Settings > Enable High-Resolution Mode" option is selected, the local display device is always used at its full resolution. For example, if a 3840x2160 display is set to use 200% resolution, double-sized text, icons, etc. are drawn for the 3840x2160 display. When this option is deselected, the magnification is emulated. For example, 200% magnification was emulated by assuming the screen was only 1920x1080 and then scaling it linearly on the local device, resulting in a loss of resolution and clarity.

The Client now reports information about its network adapter and IP settings to Control.
The auto-reconnect settings in the Protocol Policy (if any) are now honored.

Improved reconnect logic when the current gateway fails, and an alternate gateway is available.
Improved reconnect logic after closing and reopening the lid on a laptop or Chromebook and causing a sleep/wake cycle.

Users are now warned that they are using an unsupported browser and given the option to continue (if the browser isn’t known to be unusable with the Web Client). This can be useful as a method of last resort. Users should not rely on unsupported browsers routinely.
User Surveys are now supported for Cloud Applications in addition to desktops.
