Every authorized user of a running VM shows their user ID beneath their name, with a copy button, when you view the VM's users from Management. Before, only owners and managers did. Some tasks, such as a per-user audit report, need the ID. See View the Details of a Running VM from Management.
The Show tasks button sits next to the Notifications bell, without the red count badge that kept drawing attention to tasks you had already seen.
Admin actions are back for selected VMs. In 2.17.9, selecting a VM in Management > Running VMs produced an empty menu. The actions your permissions allow appear again, such as Power, View logs, JSON Export, Set project and Bulk email.
Viewing a VM's users opens its user list. From Management, the panel now lists the VM's authorized users instead of showing a blank screen or the Cannot display VM information error.
Saving a VM configuration with the option to boot the VM closes the window and starts the VM. Previously, when the boot option was your only change, the window stayed open and showed No changes made.
The RDP success task dismisses itself. After you connect to a VM over Remote Desktop, the task counts down and clears on its own. It previously stuck at Dismissing in 9s... until closed by hand.
Refreshing Drives & ADs keeps the section open. In the VM file explorer, Refresh on the Drives & ADs section reloads drives and access directories without collapsing the section.
Emptying the trash updates your storage total immediately. The Vault had kept counting the deleted files, so a user who emptied the trash to get under quota still appeared to be over it. This needs backend 3.14.1 or later; with older backends, the total refreshes once the deletion finishes. See Permanently Empty Trash.
Clicking anywhere on the My Computer header expands and collapses it. In the Vault file explorer, the row previously highlighted but did not open. My Computer is the Vault's view of your local drives, provided by the Connect Application.
Table scrollbars are no longer partly hidden behind the floating toolbar above the table.
The Terms of Service editor controls are no longer cut off. In System Settings > Terms of Service, the Edit, View and Split buttons now carry text labels and sit on their own toolbar row.
The Track Drive Backup radio buttons are no longer clipped. In System Settings > Track Drive Backup, the Yes and No options had been cut off at the left edge.
The More actions (⋮) button is right-aligned with the other action buttons in detail panels that have many actions.
Long folder names in the file explorer path are no longer cut off early. In the VM file explorer, the header now reads Root when you browse with admin or root access (previously File Explorer (as Admin/Root)), and the Attach/mount drives button lines up with the edges of the sidebar.
Connect runs the latest front-end version by default, and picks it up from the Update URL in System Settings unless a user has chosen a specific version. See Specify a Front-End URL for Automatic Updates.
To install it by hand, upload the .szip file, or paste its link, in the Manage versions dialog of the Connect Application.
There is no configuration change and no migration.
Emptying the trash updates the Vault storage total immediately only on backend 3.14.1 or later. Every other change in this release is in the front end alone.
