This week, we have a many updates and bug fixes to Meshcentral. Under the covers we made significant bug fixes, including to some fixes to quite high priority bugs. Thank you to everyone that keeps submitting feedback and bug reports, it’s very much appreciated. In this mail we will cover three major improvements:
- Apple OSX Yosemite support. We have had OSX support for a long time with Mesh, but it’s never been that great. Also, with Yosemite, the Mesh Agent installation broke completely. Bryan Roe took a few days and made some much needed improvements to the installer and we now have support for all OSX operating systems starting with 10.6 (Snow Leopard) all the way to 10.10 (Yosemite). Bryan also fixed the installer so that remote desktop now works without having to reboot the computer after first install. Makes the user experience around OSX much better than before.
- Meshcentral dynamic devices page. Probably the most used page on Meshcentral is the devices page. This week, we built a completely new version of the page with this same look, but vastly different inner workings. The old page did not handle large numbers of devices well and made it hard to quickly find the device you want. The new page does away with the devices pages replacing it with a scrollable window and a new super-fast device data unpacking system that minimizes the about of data the server has to send and allows the page to dynamically search, sort and filter without going back to the server. People with many devices will likely love the new page.
- Mesh Agent v1.90. We released a new Mesh Agent v1.90 with many more bug fixes for pretty much all architectures and operating systems supported. It has improved handling for HTTP proxies on windows, change for the Yosemite installer and most importantly, a new application registration notification system. Starting with this agent, when a Mesh aware application registers with the Mesh Agent, the Mesh Server gets notified. The server stored this data in the Mesh server database and we can now start tailoring the web site and web applications with added features depending on what is running on the remote machine. Look forward to many uses of this feature going forward.
Questions and feedback appreciated,
