Important Note about This Release

This private software solution is based on Version 13.3 of the Citrix Receiver for Linux. Any known issues in Version 13.3 of the product, except for the specific issues resolved in this private release, still apply.

New Fixes in This Release

1. Microphone audio quality in sessions running on XenApp/XenDesktop 7.6 can be poor.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC3124]

2. In ARM hf implementations, the taskbar occasionally does not flash to indicate the presence of new Lync 2010 messages.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC3688]

3. On occasion, USB redirection with a Verifone PIN pad does not work.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC3847]

4. After resizing the secondary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration, the Windows taskbar can fail to revert to the original location.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC3856]

5. When reconnecting to a disconnected, multiple-monitor session on Ubuntu 14.04, the session window appears on only one monitor instead of all.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC4181]

6. Version 13.3 of the Citrix Receiver for Linux fails to pass certain command line parameters, including the -clearpassword option, to older versions of XenApp. As a result, users' attempts to log on can be unsuccessful.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC4594]

7. After playing media with Windows Media Player on an ARM hf based Linux client, sessions disconnect.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC4625]

8. This release introduces Relative Mouse support - a feature that provides an option to interpret the mouse position in a relative rather than absolute manner. This capability is required for applications that demand relative mouse input rather than absolute.

   Note: This feature is available only in sessions running on XenApp or XenDesktop 7.8. It is disabled by default.

   • To enable the feature:*

   in the file $HOME/.ICAClient/wfclient.ini, in the section [WFClient], add the entry RelativeMouse=1.
   This enables the feature but keeps it inactive until you activate it.

   • To activate the feature:

   Type Ctrl/F12.
   Once the feature is enabled, type Ctrl/F12 again to synchronize the server pointer position with the client (the server and client pointer positions are not synchronised when using Relative Mouse).

   • To deactivate the feature:

   Type Ctrl-Shift/F12.
   The feature is also switched off when a session window loses focus.

   * Alternatively, consider using the following values for RelativeMouse:

   RelativeMouse=2 Enables the feature and activates it whenever a session window gains focus.
   RelativeMouse=3 Enables, activates, and keeps the feature activated at all times.

   To change the keyboard commands, add settings like:

   RelativemouseOnChar=F11
   RelativeMouseOnShift=Shift
   RelativemouseOffChar=F11
   RelativeMouseOffShift=Shift

   The supported values for RelativemouseOnChar and RelativemouseOffChar are listed under [Hotkey Keys] in the config/module.ini file in the Citrix Receiver installation tree. The values for RelativeMouseOnShift and RelativeMouseOffShift set the modifier keys to be used and are listed under the [Hotkey Shift States] heading.

   [From LUR13.3.1][#LC5000]
