Remote Desktop App Gets First Update

May 14, 2011 3 Comments

The Remote Desktop app gets a critical update that adds stability and squashes a few bugs.

V1.1

Tons of stability fixes and bug fixes.
Added a tutorial to explain host setup, demonstrate the connection process, security and explain the mouse controls
Trail has been extended for 5 minutes
Can connect to servers that don’t have a password set
requests audio to be left on the server (if server supports)
Fixes for resolution changes and windows 2008 server machines
Added a control feature to allow accurate positioning

Network level authentication still not supported – will be added on next update

Caution! The connection is not directly connected and goes through an unknown server!

Thanks Frank for the warning
