Just did mine too, as well as enabling 2FA.
-
@Ylian on 0.3.2-b after the update the service restarts every ten minutes or so. Something is wrong. Nothing in the logs that we can see, it just restarts.
-
Okay, now it is hours between restarts. But still happening. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bit of an issue
-
The update streams are not separated are they? I think we need stable releases and then manual to latest release, I don't believe this is the case at the minute?

There is no stable channel, it's a beta product right now.
-
Running 0.3.2-f now and seems solid. Upgrading to 0.3.2-g now.
-
@scottalanmiller gotcha, I don't think a roadmap has been posted has there?

I don't believe so.

Thanks for reporting it, yes 0.3.2-b had a problem where some agents would disconnect in just the right way and cause a server fault. Should be fixed. Got a lot of small fixes done today.
As for a roadmap, I don't really want one as I don't want to be committing to stuff in advance. However:
- Support for improved Intel AMT activation and usage is going to be coming.
- We are working on a way for a second agent to be on a timer that would call back to the server every few days and perform agent recovery if something goes wrong. This way, it serves as a back-stop if something goes wrong with the agent.
- User notification and/or user consent when taking control of a computer. I really need to get on that.
- Lots of things people are asking for on GitHub...
It's really never ending. It's possible companies could take the open source version and provide a professional version and/or deployments. That would be great and I certainly want to encourage this.

I tried but I can only upvote this once.
-
Ability to blank the background of things we remote into so we don't stream the image, that would be nifty.
-
But my biggest desire is... "send keystrokes!!" So huge.

0.3.2-i in a late evening update!
