NextGen 2026.2 – Release Notes
Highlights
-
-
- Browser-based endpoint selection clarified and defects fixed to align with design expectations
- LDAP sync and SSO stability improvements for complex domains
- Server discovery and provisioning reliability fixes
-
On‑prem Readiness

-
- Better node reboot recovery behavior
- Support Bundle completeness and OVA install fixes
- Gen2/SCSI Hyper‑V follow-ups tracked
-
What’s New and Improved
Connectivity and Endpoint Selection
-
-
- Endpoint reachability logic has been clarified and aligned so that selection behavior matches your configured preferences for internal vs. public endpoints. Improved logging makes it easier to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
- SSO domain handling now correctly supports international and multi-dot domains, removing previous limitations with the “Include Subdomains” setting.
-
Authentication, LDAP, and User Experience
-
-
- LDAP sync is now more resilient under load, preventing service interruptions during user deletions or large sync operations.
- Fixed an issue where changing your password while logged in could fail due to a missing data field.
- Login and profile screens now provide more accurate feedback messages, including clearer messaging for edge cases such as deleted user accounts.
-
Server Discovery, Provisioning, and Cloning
-
-
- Resolved discovery failures in certain cloud regions, ensuring server pools are created correctly and status updates are published as expected.
- Fixed image cloning failures for Windows 11 single-session desktops. Administrators who initiate a clone now receive email notifications, matching the existing behavior for “Create Image.”
- The server list view has been refined — unnecessary default columns have been removed for a cleaner, more usable layout.
-
Desktop Features and Collaboration
-
-
- Virtual Classroom is now enabled by default for new tenants. Fixed an issue where the Chat/Messenger ribbon did not display correctly when the feature was enabled.
- SSO domain handling now correctly supports international and multi-dot domains, removing previous limitations
- Activity logs now clearly distinguish between Direct Connect and standard desktop launches.
-
On‑prem and Hybrid Cluster
-
-
- Improved resilience when all on‑prem nodes or hypervisors reboot; easier recovery paths and better agent reliability.
- Diagnostic Support Bundles now capture additional log data for more complete troubleshooting.
- Resolved installation reliability issues for clean OVA installs. Known Gen2/SCSI Hyper‑V limitations are tracked for a future patch.
-
Quality, Reliability, and Observability
-
-
- Services now surface clearer, more actionable error messages and fail fast with better diagnostics.
- Improved stability for remote desktop routing connections.
- Background maintenance tasks restructured into managed tasks with improved error surfacing and fewer side effects.
- Hardened database patterns and safer transaction usage for greater reliability.
-
