This release introduces some macOS related bug fixes.

• Multi-instance support is now available in the ServiceNow integration.

Besides several general and UX improvements this release features some minor bug fixes.

Hide Post Session URLs

Master Administrators can now force Administrators to click a dedicated button to see or modify session data URLs in the Exporting session data section of the Admin Center Settings tab. Viewing or modifying the URLs will be recorded in the Audit Report log. This feature protects sensitive information (such as, username, password, API key) provided in the URLs, and allows companies to track which user viewed or modified these values.

For information about setting up this feature, see How to Hide Post Session URLs.

Unattended MSI Wizard

By using the Access Wizard, Rescue customers can conveniently mass-deploy the Unattended Access service to multiple devices. Once the installer is deployed, Rescue Administrators can manage the machines associated with each MSI they created.

If this new method fails, the Technician Console can fall back to the old way of working.
• Fixed an issue where the technician's mouse movement was sometimes delayed on the customer's screen.
