(Updated 24 Jun 2022)

Upgrade & Update of the SSL Gateway

The built-in SSL Gateway will be updated & upgraded for using the latests Ciphers and Encryption as available in TLSv1.3.
Note: this upgrade will be available for:

• AADS for Windows Vista and newer.
• AADS for Windows Server 2008 and newer.

Update AADS Client for OSX

• The next build of the AADS Client for OSX does not need X11 / XQuartz.
• The client can be used on OSX Catalina or newer.
• The MAC needs to be a MAC with an Intel CPU.

Bug fix: Desktop size option in the AADS Client

The option "Maximum Size" was not always applied, depending on the version of Windows. This is tested and fixed.

New Look & Feel AADS Start Menu, similar to Windows 11

AADS Application Control will contain a new Look & Feel AADS Start Menu, similar to the Windows 11 Menu as shown centered, bottom on the desktop.

More Application Control

A new and different approach on Application Control is considered.

RDP Firewall

More Firewall rules and/or filters. For example:

• Filter on valid Client Names.
• Filter on allowed Client Names.

Own Explorer

We are considering to deliver our own, simple "Explorer" as a replacement for the Windows Explorer. It will offer the user a desktop experience similar to what is known since Windows XP. The Administrator has the ability to limit the functionality as available to the user. It will not contain an AppStore. It can be used for running the usual Desktop Applications.

Improvement File transfer

Some kind of "smart resume" options, in case of a re-connected RDP sessions, between the same Client and Server.

More languages / translations

A separate project within AADS WorldWide has been started to translate the product to (many) more languages.
