Docker Image

See Docker Hub for instructions on pulling and running the image.

Major Changes:

  • Added a new Deploy page to make it easier to deploy agents
    image

  • Server admins can now upload a custom version of the quick support app (i.e. Remotely_Desktop.exe), which will get used in future downloads

    • For example, you could sign the EXE with your own commercial certificate

  • For the quick support app (i.e. Remotely_Desktop.exe), the server's URL is now encoded in the file name instead of injected as extra binary data into the file itself

    • This means that the digital signature won't get broken

Changes from RemoteControl Library:

  • Removed unnecessary call to SwitchDesktop when setting thread to input desktop.
  • Renamed ClipboardTransfer to TextTransfer and reused it for sending virtual keyboard input.
    • There's no risk of API incompatibility here. The enum is the same number, and the data model didn't change, so outdated agents will still handle the message.
  • Moved the showing of "file transfer complete" modal out of the RPC call, which was blocking subsequent SignalR messages (e.g. input).
  • Changed the input processing thread from STA to MTA.
    • I could have sworn some of the APIs (clipboard or input) required STA, which is why I was explicitly using it.
    • I'm not sure if something changed, but it apparently needs to be MTA now in order for it to switch desktops.
  • Changed the virtual keyboard hidden input from textarea to input.
    • I was previously doing some hacky things to determine if enter or backspace was being pressed on the virtual keyboard on mobile.
    • While building ControlR, I discovered that it would pick up on keydown event for only these two keys. All other keys have "unidentified" as the key in the event.
    • But having these two keys identified in keydown allowed me to do things in a much less hacky way.
    • It also allows pasting from the virtual keyboard and having it transfer.
  • The virtual keyboard button is now a toggle. It will stay open while it's toggled on and can't be passively dismissed.
  • Fixed an issue with a weird "Paste" button constantly popping up in Firefox.
    • This was because they locked down the clipboard API in a recent update.
    • In Firefox and Safari, it now requires transient user activation for the call to await clipboard.readText succeed.
    • But instead of returning the clipboard content immediately, it pops up the Paste button. If the user clicks it, then the function returns the text. If not, it throws.
    • This behavior can be detected by querying the state of clipboard-read permission.
    • If the call throws, that means it requires transient user activation, and there will never be an option for the user to allow background access.
    • In this case, we warn them about it once with a modal, write to the console with more info, and put a value in localStorage that lets us know not to prompt again.
  • Added async/await to a bunch of SignalR calls that should have been that way to begin with.
