the homepage.

vice-versa***

It's now possible to transfer clipboard data from the Remote Control
Controller to macOS Target machines and vice-versa..


*****Currency: support macOS version 15 (Sequoia)*****

The Remote Control Target now supports macOS Sequoia.


***IBM FIPS Provider 140-3 with TLSv1.3 support***

The Remote Control Server is using the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3
Cryptographic Module (IBMJCEPlusFIPS).
The FIPS 140-3 cryptographic security standard from the US government
supersedes the previous version, FIPS 140-2 standard.
With the adoption of the IBM Java JCE FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module the
Remote Control Server now supports FIPS with TLS 1.3.
The usage of NIST SP 800-131A has been deprecated.


***Linux RHEL/SUSE targets are now supported with native 64-bit version
packages***

Linux Remote Control targets are now supported for 64-bit architecture. We
no longer require installing 32-bit compatibility libraries.


***Hostname Verification***

The Remote Control Server now performs hostname verification on SSL
certificates. This means that the runtime checks of hostname or IP address
from the component certificate's Subject Alternative Name (SAN) match the
hostname or IP address that was used when establishing the connection.
