Several bug fixes

Bug fixes

Digital Signage Screen May Freeze on Gen3 Solstice Pods

• A 6.2.1 update to the Pod Chromium software used by Gen3 Solstice Pods to display a Digital Signage feed could cause the Solstice welcome screen to freeze randomly. This Pod Chromium software update has been rolled back to the version that was previously included in Solstice 6.2.
  CAUTION: Digital Signage providers such as Appspace or Carousel may interpret a Chromium version downgrade as a new device, and require the Pod to be unregistered and manually reregistered after upgrading to version 6.2.2 or above from 6.2.1 (this will not impact older Solstice versions). Re-registering such devices cannot be done remotely; the Appspace or Carousel Digital Signage registration code presented on the attached display after a Pod bootup must be read in person. Please keep this in mind when upgrading a Pod from version 6.2.1 which is currently running an Appspace or Carousel Digital Signage feed.

Custom Message or RSS Feed Fails to Display on Welcome Screen

• A configured Custom Message (Message Center settings in Solstice Cloud) previously failed to display after an update to Solstice version 5.5.2 or higher when the default Solstice Wireless Display RSS feed is disabled. There is no longer a need to use the previously published workaround of adding an RSS feed after the disabled default feed with the Source address http://mersive.com/blank.xml. If a previously enabled blank feed was being used, the admin may now delete the blank feed after updating the Pod to 6.2.2.

HTTPS Redirect to Hostname Not Fully Working

• An issue was reported where attempts to connect to the Pod via the HTTP web interface using the Pod’s IP address would not redirect to HTTPS and show the hostname if these settings were enabled on the Pod. With this release, Pods will now correctly respond to HTTPS redirects to hostname.

License check failure for Pods entitled to maintenance releases

• Pods could report an error on the display post bootup that indicated "Installed software is not licensed" and instructions to downgrade the Pod to a supported version. This could occur if the Pod did not download an updated Solstice versions lists, as well as an updated Pod license with current Subscription information, during the allotted time provided during Pod bootup. The 6.2.2 version and future versions will help prevent this issue by coming pre-packaged with a list of supported Solstice versions which can be referenced during the bootup sequence even if the Pod cannot establish a network connection in the time allotted during bootup. The Pod will now also re-attempt to download the Pod license a second time soon after the bootup sequence and reboot the Pod to apply it if a newer license is found.

Enablement of setting “Disable ICMP Pings to the Pod”

• The security feature “Disable ICMP Pings to the Pod”, which is a Pod feature that is not enabled by default, was not getting enabled when the admin would attempt to select the option. The 6.2.2 version has corrected this issue, enabling “Disable ICMP Pings to the Pod” will now successfully disable the ability to perform ICMP pings to the Pods over the wireless access point (WAP), wireless, or Ethernet networks.
