Version 21.6.4—Junuary 2022
Important note
This is a patch release that includes only the critical security update described below.
What's new in this release?
- Critical security update
- A change in our vendor for software signing certificates was required. To support those certificates, this release contains critical updates within VidyoConnect for Desktop.
- As a consequence of this change, older versions of our clients will stop auto-updating from the VidyoPortal starting July 11th.
- While the older versions will continue to work, they will fail the auto-update process and will periodically present an auto-update error until the application is manually updated.
- Updating to version 21.6.4 is mandatory if you want to be able to receive automatic updates in the future from the VidyoPortal. This version is a critical checkpoint in terms of your upgrade path. You will not be able to update to future versions automatically without first updating to this mandatory version.
- For example, if you are on version 21.5.0 now and you decide to skip 21.6.4, but you later want to update to 21.6.8, you will not be able to push out the update automatically via the VidyoPortal. Instead, your users will need to download the installer from the VidyoPortal and run the installation manually. Due to this, we strongly suggest updating to 21.6.4 now.
- If you have deployed VidyoConnect for Desktop via an MSI solution, your endpoints do not get their updates from the VidyoPortal; therefore, they are not impacted by this issue.
