Fixed issue with USB Devices menu with macOS client running on Catalina or Mojave
Fixed an issue with the USB driver which prevented USB devices from being connected to the remote desktop.
Fixed issue with client connecting to Cloud Access Connector (CAS Manager) that was configured for external access
Fixed an issue that prevented the client from connecting to a Cloud Access Connector server that is configured for external access.
Fixed mouse coordinates for specific display topologies
There were a number of display topologies where the mouse coordinates were not accurately calculated. This resulted in the mouse pointer being drawn at the wrong locations. Some of these conditions occurred only when relative mouse was enabled.
macOS client may only minimize one display on OS X 10.11
If you launch the PCoIP Software Client in OS X 10.11 and you have not clicked anywhere within the display before using the minimize hot key (Ctrl+Alt+M), the display that has not been used will not be minimized. This does not occur in macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or 10.13 (High Sierra).
Click with the mouse on both displays of the client any time before pressing Ctrl+Alt+M, and both displays will be minimized.
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.
Datalogic barcode scanner cannot be redirected when bridged in macOS
The Datalogic Quickscan QS6500 barcode scanner does not work when the device is bridged.
Do not bridge the device. The device works as expected with the remote host when it is not bridged.
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.
Audio input in PCoIP Software Client with PCoIP Remote Workstation Card does not work
When in session with a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card, PCoIP Software Client supports audio out from the host, but not audio into the host.
