rd agent 1.10.0

Minor Changes

• d0e6b56: The agent runs on Linux: a server gets a terminal and the file browser in your browser, with no SSH and no open ports (it has no screen, so the portal shows Terminal and Files instead of Connect). On macOS and Windows, [terminal] only = true or rd-agent run --terminal-only runs the agent the same way, without the screen and its permissions.

rd agent 1.9.0

Minor Changes

• cbd2816: Type what your phone's keyboard shows: the viewer can now send committed IME/soft-keyboard text as Unicode (accents, emoji, CJK, any layout), and the agent types it with the host's Unicode input. Agents advertise a text capability, so older viewers stay as they are.

rd agent 1.8.0

Minor Changes

• b5f2e0f: Terminal: open a shell on this machine from the portal or the session menu (zsh on a Mac, PowerShell on Windows), over the same connection as the screen. The shell keeps running when the connection drops, and the terminal picks up where it left off. Turn it off with [terminal] enabled = false in the agent's config.
• bf576eb: The agent now has an icon in the macOS menu bar and the Windows notification area. Its menu shows whether the machine is online and who is connected, and lets you pause remote access, check for and install updates, turn start at login on or off, and quit the agent. RD Agent.app also has an icon now, and opening it starts the agent again after a quit.
