# Workspot Control Release 26.7 Notes

## Highlights

### Schedule

- Released in the US on August 22, 2026 at 0200 UTC and in the EU on August 25, 2026 at 0530 UTC.
- See [What to Expect During a Control Update Window](/v1/docs/what-to-expect-during-a-control-update-window)

### New Features

- ([Akamai](/v1/docs/akamai-cloud-overview)) [API](/v1/docs/control-api) support for creating desktops, deleting desktops, assigning users, and unassigning users.
- (Akamai) [Linux desktops pools](/v1/docs/workspot-linux-desktops-and-apps) (both persistent and non-persistent) are now supported on Akamai.
- ([Amazon Workspaces Core](/v1/docs/amazon-workspaces-core-overview)) Shared tenancy pools are now supported.
- (Azure [Linux desktop pools](/v1/docs/workspot-linux-desktops-and-apps).) Support for the "[Shutdown](/v1/docs/power-management-startstop-and-hibernation)" power-saving mode, [Time Limits Policies](/v1/docs/control-time-limit-policies), and [Warmup Policies](/v1/docs/power-management-warmup-policies).
  - When a new Linux pool is created or an existing one is edited, a Time Limits policy is now required. Existing pools with no Time Limits Policy will continue to run their desktops 24/7.
- (GCP) In deployments using [shared VPC networks](/v1/docs/using-gcp-shared-virtual-private-clouds-vpcs), [Workspot managed gateways](/v1/docs/managed-gateways-gateway-clusters) now reserve the public IP within the (local) service project instead of the host project.
- (GCP) The use of [multiple zones](/v1/docs/multizone-desktop-pools) in the same GCP region, and a ranked list of zones in order of preference, is now supported on shared tenancy pools. Previously, it was supported only on sole tenancy pools.
- (GCP) When creating or editing a desktop pool, "Use All Zones for High Availability” allows you to specify the order in which to try [multiple zones](/v1/docs/multizone-desktop-pools).

### New Control API 3.4 Features

- See also [Using the Workspot Control API](/v1/docs/using-the-workspot-control-api).
- ([API](/v1/docs/using-the-workspot-control-api)) You can now use the API "POST /v1.0/cloudAppPools/applications/{appId}/icon" command to specify a custom application icon.
- (API) The API "GET /v1.0/cloudAppPools/applications/{appId}" command now returns the command-line parameters, if any, for application server apps.

### Bug Fixes

- A bug that sometimes caused newly [warmed up desktops](/v1/docs/power-management-warmup-policies) in non-persistent pools to shut down prematurely has been fixed.

## Known Issues

#### New Known Issues

- (Akamai) The Template Details table lists "FQDN" as "[localhost](http://localhost)" instead of a fully qualified domain name.
- (Azure/Linux) Warmup Policies cannot be assigned to non-persistent pools created before the release of Control 26.7. New pools can have Warmup Policies.

#### Other Known Issues

- See [Known Issues in Workspot Control.](https://docs.workspot.com/docs/known-issues-in-workspot-control)
