What's new in Ulterius 1.8.5.0 Beta
Feb 24, 2017
- Motion detection and facial recognition for cameras:
- You now have the option to enable video tracking technologies like motion detection and facial recognition on the cameras tab. This should be a treat for those that were using Ulterius as a no-nonsense security system.
- Login improvements:
- A few things have been changed with login process, the most important of which is that you can now specify usernames. Like with passwords, you login with the same information as with Windows. Workgroups are supported by using the standard WorkgroupUsername format.
- Monitor info:
- More information about monitors is now accessible, including all possible display modes.
- Storage device info:
- Like monitors, storage devices also received a bump to available info, allowing you to view SMART statistics and partition information.
- Screen share improvements:
- The best virtual desktop solution has gotten even better in Ulterius 1.8. We've managed to optimize it even more to DOUBLE the framerate in some scenarios. There were also a small number of situations where screen share would permanently hang, requiring a restart of Ulterius Server; this has been resolved.
- Major camera bug fix:
- Previously, cameras would only start once and refuse to do so again until Ulterius was restarted. This has been fixed.
- Better error handling:
- While we've had error reporting in the past, it wasn't a terribly smooth process. Now when there is a client-side issue, you will be given a popup that allows reporting the issue.
- Server logs:
- Of interest to developers and people troubleshooting bugs, server logs are now easily accessible from the settings menu, with a handy button that allows you to report exceptions to the Ulterius GitHub.
- Minor improvements, enhancements and bug fixes:
- As per usual, this update includes lots of tiny improvements here and there that make Ulterius just a bit nicer to use.
