Since I am playing with the technological preview for metaframe presentation server 4.5 I started looking at the ica client software which resides on the component cd. I was very suprised to see the version number on the client software namely 10 :)
After installing it on a client in my production environment the problems started to popping up. The PNAgent won't work the proxy activly refused the connection... Figure 1
The program neighborhood works and looks need when you open it. They made graphic changes. As you see at figure 2 they changed the way entirly. Figure 2
Also the published applications within a folder changed. We could discus if we like this new style or not but that seems a bit useless. Figure 3
Again a graphic change for also the Program Agent. But still the same functionalities, I couldnt find any changes but that can also be that I am connecting to a presentation server 4.0 farm instead of a 4.5 farm!! Figure 4
I also created a screenshot of the version number so you don't get the idea were writing a ghost story Figure 5
The possible changes. In a MPS4.0 environment you can see the properties of the PNAgent but cannot configure the "Show applications in the Start menu" this is great out. The screenshot you see at figure 6 is taken from a MPS4.5 environment were you can configure it. Figure 6
We browsed to the options of Program Neighborhood but couldn't find any new tab's or configurable options :) So I guess they improved somestuff but under water so we won't notice it. Well I wouldn't install it yet if you have a presentation server farm older then 4.5 :) which all of us have cause you will run into problems which aren't resolved yet by Citrix. The looks and feel are improved if you ask me and for the rest we will notice it if you get again troubles loggin on to a secure gateway like we had to the secure gateway V3.0 with ica client 9.2 thats all for now.
