Release Date: November 13, 2024
Version 5.7.2411.1105 includes new features and bug fixes. Upgrade to this Recast Software release by downloading it from the Recast Portal. For instructions on updating to this version, see our articles on upgrading Right Click Tools, Endpoint Insights, Privilege Manager, and Application Manager.
Features
Application Manager
Multi-Environment Application Deployment
You can now deploy the same applications in both Configuration Manager and Intune environments.
Environment Information on Deployment Process Pages
If you're managing multiple deployment processes in different integrations, it can be challenging to recognize the integration targeted by each deployment process. We've made the task easier by adding environment information on the Deployment Processes and Deployment Process Details pages.
- On the Deployment Processes page, you'll see the Environment listed in the table. Hovering over the environment displays either the Site Code or the Tenant ID, depending on the integration.
- On the Deployment Process Details page, you can view the environments targeted by a specific deployment process.
Recast Software Infrastructure
Microsoft .NET Framework Upgrade
We've upgraded all Recast Software applications and components to use Microsoft's .NET 8 framework. The update takes advantage of performance improvements in .NET 8 while avoiding potential security issues as .NET 6 reaches end of support.
When you install Recast Software Version 5.7.2411.1105, the Recast Management Server will automatically install .NET 8 via the installer and the ASP.NET hosting bundle, if it is not already present on your system. Earlier versions of .NET are no longer required for Recast Software products.
NOTE: Prior to upgrading an Agent Gateway that is installed separately from your Recast Management Server, download and install Microsoft's ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle for .NET 8.
