What's new in this version:

- NoMachine announces the immediate availability of version 10, which introduces powerful new features and an even faster remote access experience. Key additions include remote terminal connections, allowing shell access to any NoMachine host and SSH server without launching a full desktop, as well as integrated single sign-on for streamlined authentication. Version 10 also introduces the NoMachine Personal Edition, a new commercial product designed for professionals seeking fast, reliable remote access at an affordable price. Full support for virtual desktops on Wayland and enhanced Linux hardware encoding through VA-API are also included.

Remote terminal connections:
- Run secure remote terminals to any macOS, Linux, or Windows NoMachine system, without requiring a full desktop connection. No need for SSH on the server because NoMachine implements its own remote shell server. Connect to machines to execute scripts and carry out admin tasks, all remotely without having to run a full remote desktop. You can also start a SSH terminal connection on any SSH server to get standard shell access.

The new Personal Edition:
- NoMachine 10 brings an important novelty: the free edition has been discontinued and in its place is NoMachine Personal Edition, the new entry-level product ready for both personal and enterprise use. It brings the full power of NoMachine to everybody at a very convenient price, delivering a complete remote desktop experience, enhanced with terminal access, full SSH support and remote administration capabilities.

Enterprise Single Sign-On:
- NoMachine Enterprise products extend support for Single Sign-On (SSO) methods to OAuth and OpenID Connect protocols. Besides Kerberos tokens, NoMachine authentication can now also be handled through tokens issued by Identity Providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Keycloak, and Google Identity.
- Native Wayland support for GNOME 49 or later:
- This version provides full virtual desktop support for GNOME running on the Wayland display server. Users of Linux distributions which ship GNOME 49 or later can now run NoMachine virtual desktops and custom sessions.
- Support for VA-API hardware acceleration on Linux:
- In addition to the already supported encoding/decoding methods, NoMachine v10 on Linux can now use the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) interface, supported by most common video cards including AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs, to encode/decode video and offload the CPU.

Empowered server audit logs:
- Monitoring of user activity can be activated in the NoMachine server to log events like login, desktop sharing, copy&paste and file transfer and, where multinode environments are in place, also the status of remote nodes. Activity related to automatic recording of the user's desktop can also be logged.

Online license validation through an HTTP proxy:
- NoMachine server v10 can be configured to connect to the NoMachine licensing server through an HTTP proxy when this is requested by the environment's settings and company's policies. If the NoMachine server is published on NoMachine Network, it will use the same proxy settings also for connecting to the Network server.

Support for multiple interfaces in the nxd service:
- A new key in server.cfg, NXDAddressFamily, allows to specify the address families to which the nxd service will be bound, for example 'NXDAddressFamily inet,inet6'. Additionally, the NXDListenAddress key is updated to accept multiple interfaces, specified as address:port pairs in a comma-separated list.

NoMachine Cluster slave redirection in NAT environments:
- In NAT environments where the address reachable by external clients is different to the internal cluster's virtual IP configured on the server, a set of new commands lets administrators specify the external host/IP address and ports that should be advertised to clients when a connection is load-balanced to the slave peer.

More tools for administrators:
- A new command, 'nxserver --hostkeylist' allows to list all the host keys known by the NoMachine server. The existent command 'nxserver --removehostkey' has been renamed into 'nxserver --hostkeydel' by preserving compatibility with old name. Similarly, 'nxserver --subscriptionremove' has been renamed into 'nxserver --subscriptiondel'.
- Centralized debug in multinode environments
- The 'nxserver --debug --enable' command now accepts the '--dynamic NODE_NAME' option to
- enable debug log level on the given node from the main server.

Here is the full list of fixes available in version 10:
- The client window content is misplaced on Ubuntu 24
- Cannot disable manual node selection via profile rules on a per-group of nodes basis
- The gnome-shell CPU usage may increase even when NoMachine server is stopped
- A PAC parser error may be issued when using the automatic proxy configuration
- PAM groups may be not set in the NoMachine virtual desktops
- The client doesn't provide the proper username for Kerberos ticket authentication
- Wrong order of evaluation for values set in the PhysicalDesktopAccessNoAcceptance key
- Profile rules don't work for members of an AD group when they are set using the group name (system groups)
- Custom sessions may fail to start on macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
- The GNOME desktop takes long time to show up after the GDM login screen is passed
- With NVIDIA drivers v591.44 and newer, H.264 HW encoding is not available in NoMachine sessions
- Physical session detection may fail when physical session owner information cannot be retrieved
