NoMachine 8.0.168

What's new in this version:

Key enhancements in this new major version are:
- Cloud Server Family Products now extended
- Designed to satisfy needs of different business realities, the new range of products covers from small-sized to very large environments. The failover cluster capabilities for high available access are now moved into a specific product, the Enterprise Cloud Server Cluster. To mirror the new Cloud Server family, a cluster-specific product is made available also in the terminal server family (Enterprise Terminal Server Cluster) and some products have been renamed.
- The local and remote server administrator's UI
- A completely redesigned interface for easier access to server configuration also from remote provides a much more improved experience to users and administrators, especially for Cloud Server and nodes management, with the possibility to monitor connections and users in the whole system.
- Guest Desktop Sharing Users
- Connect as a guest to the remote physical desktops without the need to have a system account, always upon the approval of the desktop owner. Available also in the free version, it's ideal also for on-the-fly connections to help friends remotely and everywhere.
- Switching on/off the interactive mode at run-time
- The desktop owner can give interaction or view-only permissions to the connected user or guest at any moment during the life of the session by a simple click via the Monitor menu (!M) in the system tray.
- Nat-traversal inverse connection for Cloud Servers
- Perfect for a DMZ network which isolates public services reachable by the Internet from the corporate LAN, the 'inverse connection' reverses the direction of communication. In this way, connection is established from a node to the Cloud Server, getting rid of the need to open a port in the corporate firewall.
- Enhanced support for multiple GPUs
- Workload for hardware accelerated video encoding can be now distributed among all the available GPUs according to a load-balance algorithm or off-loaded to a specific GPU dedicated to NoMachine.
- H.264 hardware encoding on macOS
- H.264 hardware encoding is now available also for NoMachine servers running on macOS, extending support for 3D hardware acceleration also on that platform.
- Native packages for Windows 64bit and macOS M1/M2
- This version provides also client and server packages built for Windows 64-bit architecture and universal packages suitable for macOS equipped with Intel or Silicon processor. The native package for M1/M2 restores USB support on macOS, not available with Intel packages running under Rosetta 2 emulator.
