What’s new in 2301

Version 2301 of the Linux VDA includes the following new features and enhancements:

Support for RHEL 8.7, Rocky Linux 8.7, and SUSE 15.4

We have added RHEL 8.7, Rocky Linux 8.7, and SUSE 15.4 as supported distributions. For more information, see System requirements.

Note:

SUSE 15.3 is deprecated starting with this release. To run the Linux VDA on SUSE 15.4, do a fresh installation of the VDA.

Support for Wayland (experimental)

As an experimental feature, the Linux VDA now supports Wayland in GNOME on RHEL 9.0, Rocky Linux 9.0, and Ubuntu 22.04. For more information, see Wayland (experimental).

All client printers can now be mapped to a Linux VDA session

Previously, only the default printer of a client device could be mapped to a Linux VDA session. Starting with this release, you can map all printers of a client device to a Linux VDA session. For more information, see Printing best practices and PDF printing.

Dynamic client drive mapping and client folder redirection

Previously, drives attached to the client after a session started were not mapped to the session. To make those drives accessible in the session, you had to disconnect and reconnect the session. Starting with this release, drives attached to the client anytime during a session can be mapped automatically. In addition, this release introduces client folder redirection that lets you redirect a custom portion of a local drive on the client to the session dynamically. For more information, see Client drive mapping.

What’s new in earlier releases
