The June 2023 Turbo Server release includes several major features:

  • New! Fleets streamlines resource management by organizing groups of servers into a single management unit. Create on-premises fleets or use managed fleets that directly integrate with cloud infrastructures like Azure. Assign applications to fleets based on resource requirements.

  • New! (Beta) AI Chat feature allows end-users to talk with AI chatbots such as OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 directly within the workspace interface.

  • New! Web Applications are now a first-class application type that appear alongside other applications in the Portal. Web applications can open the client browser to an external site or launch within a virtualized browser environment. Web applications inherit the same management features as other application types.

Other new features include:

  • New! Initial Window State workspace application setting determines the initial window state when launching the application, such as full screen
  • New! Run as Administrator workspace application setting allows applications to launch the application with administrative privileges
  • New! VM Settings workspace and workspace application settings allow configuring advanced virtual machine runtime settings
  • Users now receive a warning notification if one of their storage provider connections fails to connect, which may result in a T: drive mount failure

Other improvements include:

  • Turbo Server has been upgraded to use .NET Framework 4.8. It is required to install .NET 4.8 before running the Turbo Server installer.
  • Server settings relating to storage have been moved to a new Storage tab
  • The Reboot Server button has been updated with a confirmation dialog and reboot status in the administration site diagnostics page
  • Session reports have been updated to report an error if the HTML5 client takes longer than expected to start
  • User Group Restrictions are now enforced on installed applications
  • The Hub Image Cache will now target the images subfolder, unless already specified, when referencing precached assemblies. This behavior is now consistent with the Turbo for PC client.
  • The Turbo Hub will now automatically populate the assembly cache and relevant metadata when an image is pushed to the Hub or when the image cache is updated.
  • Images will no longer be written to the image cache path if the image already exists
  • Improved performance of the Reports page for certain data sets
  • Improved Hub Server performance during periods of high launch volume
  • Improved service reliability when encountering SQL errors
  • Workspace application merge-user setting has been added to the administration CLI tool
  • Error messaging has been improved when providing an invalid license to the administration CLI tool
  • The Portal logs now use UTC time
  • The base and clean images have moved to windows namespace

This update includes fixes for the following issues:

  • Session reports did not accurately track session duration for HTML5 client sessions if the user closed the tab shortly after launch.
  • The Advanced Testing page could fail to override server assignments if the application was already running
  • Installed workspace applications with Inherit from Workspace isolation settings could fail to correctly inherit
  • In rare cases users could be automatically logged out of the Portal despite having a valid ticket
  • Channel selection could be lost when navigation to and from the Files tab
