Security Enhancement foe API

Security Enhancement

API Updates

• This release includes an update to the V2 API which enhances security and performance, ensuring the system remains robust and reliable. Users benefit from a more secure application without any noticeable changes in their experience.

Solstice Client for Windows Performance Enhancement

Closing the Client Quits the App

• The Mersive Solstice client for Windows will now only have an associated system tray component when the client is running. Closing the client will quit the application, so it will no longer remain running in the background. This change will help prevent system resource consumption by the client when not being used for sharing, which will help conserve laptop battery power.

Resolved Issues

Recently Used Display List

• Solstice Client (for Windows or Mac) will now successfully retrieve and show the stored Recently Used Display list after the Client is restarted.

RSS Feed Displays Item Title

• When an RSS feed is configured within the Pod’s Message Center, the feed will now display the item title below the scrolling item description.

HDMI-In Port Improvements

• HDMI-In port improvements implemented to help harden port stability impacted by rapid plug/unplug events.

HDMI-In Status Message Visibility Improved

• The HDMI-In connection status message now displays in the middle of the screen with a larger font size for easier viewing.

Improved Messaging for Windows PCs with Dual Graphics Cards

• In an effort to prevent desktop and app sharing fails, the Solstice Client has improved messaging for detection and recommendations for Windows PCs with dual graphics cards.

Installer Updated for Permission Changes

• For new Solstice Client installations on Windows, write permissions have been added to the folder %ProgramData%\\Mersive\\ALLUSERS\\Solstice\\Client* to help ensure that client setting changes are permitted in more restricted user environments.

Subscription Expiration Date Display Correction

• Pods that have been assigned multiple subscription bundles which have future start dates visible in Solstice Cloud will now correctly show the final end date in the Pod’s local, web, and Dashboard views.

HSTS Flag Added

• To provide the proper response to automated security checks, the HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) flag has been added to web server response headers.

API v2 Parity with v1

• Solstice Open Control API v2 functionality and documentation have been updated to ensure parity with API v1 functionality.

Known Issue

HDMI-In Management Devices and Port Stability

• This release implements significant HDMI-In port improvements to help harden port stability, which can help when HDMI-In Management Devices (such as Extenders, Switchers, etc.) are in use. Nevertheless, Pods configured to use HDMI-In Management Devices may on occasion still encounter HDMI-In port stability issues when users quickly unplug and plug back in. Additional hardening is planned to help handle plug/unplug events while using devices other than standard direct attached HDMI-In cables.
