Just did mine too, as well as enabling 2FA.
-
@Ylian on 0.3.2-b after the update the service restarts every ten minutes or so. Something is wrong. Nothing in the logs that we can see, it just restarts.
-
Okay, now it is hours between restarts. But still happening. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bit of an issue
-
The update streams are not separated are they? I think we need stable releases and then manual to latest release, I don't believe this is the case at the minute?

There is no stable channel, it's a beta product right now.
-
Running 0.3.2-f now and seems solid. Upgrading to 0.3.2-g now.
-
@scottalanmiller gotcha, I don't think a roadmap has been posted has there?

I don't believe so.

Thanks for reporting it, yes 0.3.2-b had a problem where some agents would disconnect in just the right way and cause a server fault. Should be fixed. Got a lot of small fixes done today.
As for a roadmap, I don't really want one as I don't want to be committing to stuff in advance. However:
- Support for improved Intel AMT activation and usage is going to be coming.
- We are working on a way for a second agent to be on a timer that would call back to the server every few days and perform agent recovery if something goes wrong. This way, it serves as a back-stop if something goes wrong with the agent.
- User notification and/or user consent when taking control of a computer. I really need to get on that.
- Lots of things people are asking for on GitHub...
It's really never ending. It's possible companies could take the open source version and provide a professional version and/or deployments. That would be great and I certainly want to encourage this.

I tried but I can only upvote this once.

Ability to blank the background of things we remote into so we don't stream the image, that would be nifty.

But my biggest desire is... "send keystrokes!!" So huge.

0.3.2-i in a late evening update!

Late night update to 0.3.2-k

Just published MeshCentral v0.3.2-l with early support for user notification when a remote session is connected. I expect to keep adding to this going forward, but wanted to release a starter version that just displays a toast notification when a remote session is connected. You can go in the device group page and edit this. You can also add "UserConsentFlags" in config.json domain section to force all device groups domain wide:
"__UserConsentFlags__" : "Set to: 1 for desktop, 2 for terminal, 3 for files, 7 for all", "UserConsentFlags" : 7Feedback appreciated,
Ylian
