Alemira Virtual Lab

Overview

The current release was focused on the improvements to the clipboard and the sustainability of the solution operation.

What’s new 

Clipboard improvement 

A new approach to working with the clipboard in virtual machines was implemented. A user now will be asked for permissions in their browser to access the clipboard and will be warned if such permissions were not granted. The clipboard permissions are required for the clipboard to fully function on a virtual machine.

Know issues 

The upgraded clipboard is fully supported in the Chrome and Edge browsers. Users with Firefox, Safari and other browsers can sometimes experience issues when pasting text on a VM.
