Advertise support for AVC420 support to the server: defaults write com.microsoft.rdc.macos AvcSupportLevel avc420 3. Advertise support for AVC444 support to the server: defaults write com.microsoft.rdc.macos AvcSupportLevel avc444 Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and took the time to work with us to diagnose problems.

10.3.8 Feb 12, 2020 stable
It's 2020 and time for our first release of the year.  The key change in this update is the ability to switch between Scancode (CTRL+COMMAND+K) and Unicode (CTRL+COMMAND+U) modes when entering keyboard input. Unicode mode allows extended characters to be typed using the OPTION key on a Mac keyboard. For example, on a US Mac keyboard, OPTION+2 will enter the trademark (™) symbol. You can also enter accented characters in Unicode mode. For example, on a US Mac keyboard, OPTION+E followed by the "A" key will result in "á" being sent to the remote session.  Other updates in this release include: • Cleaned up the workspace refresh experience and UI. • Addressed a smart card redirection issue that caused the remote session to hang at the Winlogon screen with the "Checking Status" message. • Reduced the time taken to create temporary files used for clipboard-based file copy and paste. • Temporary files used for clipboard file copy and paste are now deleted on app exit (instead of relying on macOS to clean them up). • PC bookmark actions are now rendered at the top right corner of thumbnails. • Made fixes to address issues reported through crash telemetry.

If you encounter any errors, you can always contact us via Help > Report an Issue.
10.3.6 Dec 2, 2019 stable
In this release we fixed a bug that was causing zero-length files to be created when copying a folder from the remote session to the local machine using file copy and paste. Thanks for all the feedback. If you encounter any errors, you can always contact us via Help > Report an Issue.
10.3.5 Nov 18, 2019 stable
