Release Notes: Version 1.6, October 2014

Two-way screen sharing made easier

'Share My Screen' functionality in HTML5 web-based Technician Console required downloading and installing an executable file every time, for all these days. Now it has been made easier. You just need to download and install an executable file only for the first time. It prompts for 'Launch Application' henceforth and once you click on it, screens of Technician and Customer get swapped automatically, without any installation.

Resume Session is not available anymore in Desktop Plugin

'Resume Session' option which was available in Desktop Plugin has been removed owing to improved security considerations.

Customer Console supports more languages

Customer Console supports more languages now, based on the language setting in customer's computer. Supported languages include English, Chinese, Dutch, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

iPad app is iOS 8 compatible now

iPad app version 1.2 got released in iTunes on Oct 15,2014. This version has made the app iOS 8 compatible.

Some crucial bugs have also been fixed with this version.
