Version 24.10 of the Standard Agent for macOS contains bug fixes and stability enhancements. Additionally, it also includes the following new features:

Improvements to Bandwidth Utilization & Frame Rate Consistency

Version 24.10 introduces improvements to bandwidth utilization and frame rate consistency. When PCoIP Ultra is set to CPU Offload, Auto Offload, or GPU Offload, image quality is dynamically adapted to ensure consistent frame rates within specified ranges. This results in enhanced frame rate performance through improved image quality and optimized bandwidth consumption.

Improved Wacom Tablet Responsiveness in High Latency Networks

Version 24.10 introduces improvements to the responsiveness of Wacom tablets tablets operating in high latency networks. For this purpose, a new parameter has been introduced:

Improve graphics tablet responsiveness on high latency network

This parameter must be set on the host. Enabling it ensures smooth and consistent drawing on graphics tablets, even in high-latency network environments. This results in improved performance even if occasional packet drops are experienced. 

For more information on enabling this parameter, see the Configuration Guide

Note:

This parameter is only available if both the Anyware Client and the Anyware Agent are running version 24.10 or later.
