What’s new in 2210

Version 2210 of the Linux VDA includes the following new features and enhancements:

Enhanced GPU hardware acceleration for HDX 3D Pro

We have improved data transfer efficiency between a GPU and the Linux system memory. We have also reduced latency in 3D graphics rendering and hardware encoding. These enhancements optimize hardware resource utilization and highly improve the performance of frames per second (FPS). For more information, see H.264 hardware encoding.

Support for size limits on data transfers through clipboard

You can specify the maximum size (in KB) of clipboard data that users can transfer between a client and a Linux virtual session during a single copy-and-paste operation. To do so, use the following policy settings:

• Limit clipboard client to session transfer size
• Limit clipboard session to client transfer size

For more information about the policy settings, see the Client clipboard redirection section of ICA policy settings.

For information about the policy settings that the Linux VDA supports, see Policy support list.

Support for new Linux streaming target devices

We have extended Linux streaming to the following distributions:

• RHEL 8.6
• Rocky Linux 8.6
• Ubuntu 22.04

For more information, see Streaming Linux target devices in the Citrix Provisioning documentation.

Shell script enhancement

We have enhanced shell scripts to make them maintenance-friendly and moved the following configuration templates from /etc/xdl/mcs/ to /etc/xdl/ad_join/:

• winbind_krb5.conf.tmpl
• winbind_smb.conf.tmpl
• sssd.conf.tmpl
• sssd_krb5.conf.tmpl
• sssd_smb.conf.tmpl
• centrify_krb5.conf.tmpl
• centrify_smb.conf.tmpl

Easy install also uses the configuration templates relevant to the specific domain-joining methods.

What’s new in earlier releases
