VMware View Client update VMware Horizon View Client version is updated to 4.1 with the following new features: • Support for Windows Media MMR - This feature is limited by local device decoder format support. Currently ThinLinux supports H.264, WMV up to WMV9 for video and AAC, WMA, and WAVE audio format H.264 support for Intel-based Linux devices. • GUI for USB redirection • Clipboard size is configurable up to a maximum of 16 MB. • OpenSSL 1.0.2h is supported. • TLSv1.0 is enabled by default. Enabling TLSv1.0 ensures that by default Horizon Client can connect to the VMware Horizon Air servers. You do not need to upgrade to Horizon Client 4.0.1 unless you use Horizon Client to connect to Horizon Air cloud-hosted desktops and applications. NOTE: Configuration file property (view.sslProtocolString) and command-line option (--sslProtocolString) settings can override the default setting. • VMware Blast Extreme is introduced since 4.0. End users can select the VMware Blast display protocol when they connect to a remote desktop or application in Horizon Client, and you can configure decoding and network protocol options for the VMware Blast sessions. Administrators can create vmware-view URIs to launch a remote desktop or application with the VMware Blast display protocol. This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0. • Client drive redirection feature enhancements: You can now share USB storage devices with remote desktops and applications. • If use more than two monitors, the monitors are no longer required to have the same resolution and mode (portrait or landscape). • The OpenSSL library is updated to version openssl-1.0.2f. To support the new features, there were some adjustments and new INI parameters are added for VMware Horizon Client 4.1. Table 92.
