What's New in This Release

The latest release 25.03 of the Anyware Client for Linux contains bug fixes and stability enhancements for a seamless user experience. In addition, it includes the following features:

Enhanced Security Using Smartcard Authentication

Version 25.03 of the Anyware Client for Linux introduces support for in-session smartcard authentication for Linux Clients running on Ubuntu 22.04 that connect to Linux agents. Following session establishment, Linux Clients running on Ubuntu 22.04 are authenticated using smartcards. Agents can also read and process smartcard information for in-session tasks such as document signing.

Smartcard authentication provides an added security layer, and simplifies identity management within PCoIP deployments.

Support for Multiple Audio Output Devices

Version 25.03 of the Anyware Client for Linux introduces support for multiple audio output devices on the client side. You can now select up to 3 audio output devices for playing audio, in addition to a single audio input device while in session.

This capability is only supported on Linux clients connecting to Windows Graphics agents or Windows Standard agents. For more information, see Selecting Audio Devices.

Introducing Zoom VDI for HP Anyware

Version 25.03 of the Anyware Client for Linux introduces support for Zoom VDI, which allows for an enhanced video conferencing performance in HP Anyware environments. The feature works by offloading the audio and video streams from HP Anyware agent devices to HP Anyware client devices, which handle the processing and transmitting of these streams to and from Zoom servers. This results in reduced latency, and improved meeting experience during PCoIP sessions.

Once installed and configured, the capabilities of Zoom VDI enable quick adoption, leading to a seamless experience while starting and joining meetings. The Zoom VDI Plugin is similar to the Standard Zoom Client, and includes features such as optional end-to-end encryption, gallery view, speaker view, language interpretation, breakout rooms, and screen sharing.
