Appearance
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! Portal Dashboard design has been refreshed with a new Home tab that summarizes key applications and documents as well as new visuals.
- 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! License Reservations feature allows licenses to be reserved for specific user groups during a configurable time period.
- 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

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 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
