Release Overview
The PCoIP Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of libraries and binaries provided to Teradici Cloud Access Platform customers who require the ability to customize and build a PCoIP client.
With control over how the PCoIP client is built, you can:
- Build clients that conform to your company style and branding guides.
- Build clients that adapt to customized workflows (for example, embed a PCoIP session into a software solution).
PCoIP Client SDK 19.08 introduces new fixes and updates to the previous release. This article provides a summary of key additions, compatibility notes, resolved issues, and known issues for this release.
To build additional functionality, such as extended peripheral support, you can utilize the Teradici PCoIP Virtual Channel SDK.
What's New in This Release
This release introduces the following features and enhancements to the PCoIP Client Software SDK for Windows:
Core API¶
This release includes the PCoIP Core API and libraries. You can use these API's to build a PCoIP Client from scratch. This new feature will enable developers to have a deeper level of control.
Example Application¶
This release includes an example application (broker_client_example) to showcase connecting to a third-party broker and launches the session client (client_session) along with it's source code.
Pre-built client_session¶
This release includes a pre-built client_session file which can be used for launching the in-session. This can be used for building a custom client that just requires customization around brokering.
CMake Modules¶
This release includes CMake modules for importing and linking the supporting libraries in order to streamline the build process.
Local Termination of Wacom Tablets
This releases introduces support for local termination of some Wacom tablets. Locally terminated tablets have greatly improved responsiveness, and tolerate higher-latency (25ms and higher) networks for accurate drawing.
Enhanced Security and Stability
This release contains improvements and enhancements around the security and stability of the Software Client.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Auto forwarding HID devices with multiple flash drives may fail.
If more than one flash drive is auto forwarded along with HID devices, not all the devices may be forwarded to the remote host.
Limit auto forwarding to a single flash drive.
Bridged USB devices disconnected when switching to Windowed Mode
When the client has more than one monitor, switching from Full-screen to Windowed mode will disconnect all bridged USB devices.
Cancelling large USB file transfer fails
Cancelling a large file from being copied to, or from, a USB flash drive while bridged in PCoIP software client fails to function. The file will continue to copy until finished.
Do not try to cancel large file transfers.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
