The Lightweight Protocol Client delivers improved system performance and replaces the RMKS client protocol driver used in earlier versions of Horizon Client. Log files that previously displayed "RMKS" entries now display "VIEWCLIENT" entries instead. • Command-line support for RSA SecurID and RADIUS authentication The vmware-view command-line interface supports user login through RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication, without requiring user interaction in Horizon Client. Users can enter their RSA SecurID or RADIUS credentials by invoking the --tokenUserName and --passcode command-line options. • Select specific monitors for published applications In a multiple-monitor configuration, users can select the monitors on which to display published application windows. • Expanded support for serial port redirection Serial port redirection is now supported for Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtual desktops that have Horizon Agent 7.9 installed with the Serial Port Redirection option enabled. In addition, the PCoIP protocol is now fully validated and supported for serial port redirection. • Support for HTML5 Multimedia Redirection Horizon Client for Linux now supports the redirection of multimedia content to the client system from a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser running in a remote desktop. This redirection reduces the load on the ESXi host and improves the audio and video experience for the user. What's New - Horizon Client for Linux 5.0 • User interface redesign Horizon Client for Linux now has a more modern user interface. • Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 64-bit 7.6 Horizon Client for Linux is now supported on client systems running the RHEL 7.6 distribution. • DPI synchronization per connection If an administrator enables the new DPI Synchronization Per Connection agent group policy setting, DPI synchronization takes effect when users reconnect to a remote desktop. This feature is supported for virtual desktops running Windows 10 version 1607 and later or Windows Server 2016 and later (configured as a desktop), and is not supported for published desktops or published applications. This agent group policy setting is disabled by default. This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.8. • Domain security changes When users log in to a Horizon 7 version 7.8 server from Horizon Client, they might need to enter a domain in the User name text box, for example, domain\username or username@domain. Depending on the server configuration, the Domain drop-down menu might be hidden, or it might contain *DefaultDomain*. • Scanner redirection for remote desktops Users can now scan information into remote desktops with SANE-compliant scanners that are connected to the Linux client system. This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0 or later and Horizon Client 5.0. • Launching multiple desktops and applications within a single client session from the command line By default, Horizon Client opens a new client session when the user starts an additional resource. With Horizon Client 5.0, users now have the ability to start additional remote desktops and published applications within an existing client session. This feature is available only when starting resources from the vmware-view command line using the --useExisting command line option. • Enhanced support for multiple-monitor configurations When a user changes the local monitor configuration during a client session, the full-screen display updates dynamically to accommodate the change. For example, if the user starts the session with three monitors and then disconnects one of the monitors, the session is displayed in full-screen mode across the two remaining monitors. If the user reconnects the third monitor, the full-screen display resumes across all three monitors. What's New - Horizon Client for Linux 4.10 • Support for Windows Server 2019 Microsoft Windows Server 2019 is now supported as a RDS-hosted server for remote desktop and published application sessions. • Support for PIV Smart Card PIV smart card authentication and redirection support is now available. • TLS 1.0 support discontinued Support of TLS 1.0 has been discontinued beginning with this release. • Serial port redirection for RDS-hosted desktops in nested mode The serial port redirection feature is now supported in published applications that are launched from Horizon Client inside RDS-hosted desktops (nested sessions). Horizon Client 4.10 or later must be installed in the RDS-hosted desktops.. • Support for virtual printing on physical RDS host machine Virtual printing is now supported on published desktops and published applications that are deployed on RDS hosts that are physical machines. • Multi-session mode support You can use multiple instances of the same published application on different client devices when the multi-session mode is enabled for a published application. • Logging copy and paste activity You can enable the clipboard audit feature in Horizon Client to record information about clipboard data that is copied from the Horizon Agent machine to the Linux client machine. This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.7 • Support for Workspace ONE Mode Beginning with Horizon 7 version 7.2, a Horizon administrator can enable Workspace ONE mode for a Connection Server instance. If you connect to a Workspace ONE mode enabled server in Horizon Client for Linux, you are redirected to the Workspace ONE portal to launch your entitled desktops and applications. What's New - Horizon Client for Linux 4.9 • H.264 High Color Accuracy You can allow high color accuracy when H.264 decoding is allowed. Horizon Client uses high color accuracy only if the agent supports high color accuracy. This feature might reduce battery life and performance. • High DPI scaling and DPI synchronization Display scaling is supported at higher DPI in remote desktops and published applications and is applicable when the Linux client is set to be "System DPI-aware" and the scaling level is greater than 100%. • Relative mouse support For work that requires using graphics-intensive applications, such as AutoCAD, or for playing 3D video games, you can improve mouse performance by enabling the relative mouse feature, which uses relative, rather than absolute, coordinates. • Support for Ubuntu 18.04 x64 and updated list of supported Linux distributions Horizon Client for Linux 4.9 has been tested and is supported on the following Linux distributions: Ubuntu 16.04 (x86 and x64), RHEL 6.10 (x86 and x64), Ubuntu 18.04 x64, and RHEL 6.10/7.5 x64. • Configure Horizon Client data sharing If your Horizon administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects and receives anonymous data on client systems to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. You can configure whether to share information on your client system by enabling or disabling a setting in Horizon Client. • Serial port redirection support With the serial port redirection feature, end users can redirect locally connected serial (/dev/ttyS) ports, such as built-in RS232 ports or USB-to-Serial adapters, to their remote desktops. • Automatically hide toolbar by default You can set the view.autoHideToolbar configuration option to specify whether the toolbar is to be automatically hidden or pinned by default. Whats New - Horizon Client for Linux 4.8 • VMware Blast selects the optimal transport automatically In this release, Horizon Client for Linux senses current network conditions and chooses one or more transports to provide the best user experience automatically. In previous Horizon Client versions, you had to select a network condition option to provide the best user experience with VMware Blast. • VMware Horizon Performance Tracker support If VMware Horizon Performance Tracker is installed in a remote desktop, you can use Horizon Client for Linux to connect to the remote desktop and run it in the remote desktop. Whats New - Horizon Client for Linux 4.7 Key Features VMware Horizon Client for Linux makes it easy to access your Windows virtual desktop from a supported Linux system with the best possible user experience on the Local Area Network (LAN) or across a Wide Area Network (WAN).
