We've made notable improvements in the way we handle connection windows in 'Displays in Separate Windows' mode. We're opting for a strategy that reuses existing windows instead of closing and re-opening windows. This is particularly beneficial when using virtual monitors.

Stylus remoting has seen a significant upgrade, delivering precision and accuracy like never before. Also, we've added an option to disable stylus remoting on the client side. If you wish to disable stylus remoting,  connect to the machine and click Remote => Uncheck Stylus.

We've amped up our compatibility with Adobe Photoshop, specifically improving the way we handle mouse cursors.

We've also implemented various stability and performance enhancements.

Your feedback is invaluable to us. Please don't hesitate to reach out to support@jumpdesktop.com if you have any questions.

We've released Jump Desktop's Cloud REST API. Jump Desktop's cloud API lets you integrate Jump Desktop into your own apps, custom workflows as well as automate tasks you'd manually do on the web dashboard.

Start building today. See the API documentation.

Add notes to computers, users and access groups on your Team dashboard. You can even create custom fields to help with your workflow. You'll see a new Note field under each computer, user and access group in your team dashboard.

Of course, notes or annotations is completely accessible using Jump Desktop's Cloud API.

Starting with Jump Desktop Connect 6.7.42 you can run on-premise, high availability relay servers. Relay servers allow you to control how Jump Desktop traffic is routed through your infrastructure and isolate traffic to a specific host. All traffic is run through a specific set of UDP ports so you can control exactally what goes in and out and apply proper QoS if needed. You can use on-premise relay servers for better performance and increased security.

To get started, see the On-Premise Relay documentation.

You can now quickly search and filter through computers and users on your team's dashboard. See which computers are currently online, offline or currently being used. In your team's dashboard click Computers.

You can also filter between users This is useful when you want to quickly see which computers are online, offline, which computers are currently being used. In your team's dashboard click Users.

You can now save on Jump Desktop for Team licenses by temporarily disabling remote access for users and administrators on a team. This is useful when a Team member goes on vacation, a production goes on hiatus or if you have an administrator on the team who does not need to connect to computers. When a user's remote access is disabled, they will no longer be able to connect to computers on the team and we'll stop billing for that user. Since Jump Desktop for Teams billing is prorated, you will never pay extra. You can re-enable a user's remote access anytime.

Administrators who have their remote access disabled will still be able to administer the team. This way you can have multiple administrators on the team without having to pay extra.

To disable a user's remote access visit your team's dashboard -> Users -> the user -> three dots on the top right -> Disable Remote Access. Similarly to enable remote remote access Users -> the user -> three dots on the top right -> Enable Remote Access.
