Release summary

Release: 1.97.1

Deployment date: September 18, 2025

Client

  • The sft list-accounts command, which was previously deprecated, has now been officially removed. Use the sft list-teams command instead.

  • The SFT client now adds the server name to the username when connecting through RDP using the Windows and FreeRDP clients.
Gateway

  • A bug in Windows 10 and Windows 11 was sending the wrong channel ID to Windows Server 2025. This prevented RDP through the gateway from working.

  • When connecting from a Windows 11, version 24H2 client to a Windows Server 2016, the connection may fail if a gateway is used. If a gateway is not used, the RDP session may disconnect and reconnect several times before stabilizing.

Client

Server Agent

  • Digital signature verification has been added for all DLLs loaded from outside the trusted system paths.
