  • Major Changes:
  • Security improvements.
  • Improvements:
  • As a user, I expect my current credentials and proxy information are taken over automatically on Microsoft Windows
  • As a participant using the Mikogo-viewer, I get connected into a session even when the presenter does not transmit anything
  • If the presenter shows an application which is currently minimized, the viewing window should still show the previously shared application's last capture
  • As a participant, who has moved the viewing window on a different monitor than the primary, I don't expect that in case of a resizing event the viewing window appears again on the primary monitor
  • As an IT admin, I want to align the HTML-Viewer look & feel to the partner’s CI
  • Improved the panel feature's security
  • Improved the session key exchanged between client and server

  • Improved the sharing of monitors in special screen configurations.

New in Mikogo 5.4.1 (Jul 7, 2016)

  • MAJOR CHANGES:
  • To use the video conferencing component of Mikogo you must first start a screen sharing session.
  • To start or join a video conference click on the webcam icon which is located to the right of the voice conference icon and then select your preferred video camera.
  • Currently the Mikogo video conferencing feature supports up to four people (1 host and 3 participants).
  • IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXED ISSUES:
  • We have added a short text “View only” before the participant name in the Presenter and Control dropdown menus which indicates that a participant has joined the session via the HTML-Viewer.
  • As organizer I want that the location field (.ics) contains an additional hint on the phone conference information (if applicable) when I add a scheduled session to my Calendar
  • As a participant using the dial-in telco, I want that the countries are listed in alphabetical order
  • The Settings button is permanently moved from the main toolbar into the session control bar
  • As a presenter, I can more easily recognize that a participant cannot become a Presenter or take the Remote Control as they use the HTML-Viewer (view only mode)
  • In the Windows version of Mikogo the layout of the Application Selection prevented the presenter from using the multiple-monitor selection. This has been observed for the following cases. If the presenter has a high resolution monitor and uses a magnification level greater than 100%.
  • When having a magnification level greater than 125% the layout of the Scheduler prevented the organizer from accessing the button to create a scheduled session.
  • In Mac OS X 10.10 and 10.11 the color selection window for changing the participant color did not work properly..
  • Email invitation for scheduled session inconsistency in German translation (subject body)

  • Viewer Pointer not visible to participants when Mikogo panel is hidden and Aero effect is switched off
  • Typo in DE Whiteboard Toolbox
  • Typo in Russian invitation email
  • In Mac 10.10.1, 'Change color' does not have 'OK' 'Cancel' labels and the changing color on the participant end has no effect in the Viewer pointer
  • Change in participant color not updated to other participants
  • In Mac 10.10.2, When change color is clicked as a Presenter on his name, sometimes the host crashes
  • Incorrect Swedish Translation for closing session message
  • Session invitation email does not contain the telco dial-in numbers
  • In Mac 10.11, Color Picker is not displayed properly and labels are missing
  • Application Selection does not enable to share a 2nd screen when desktop layout is set to "Portrait"
  • Typos in German translation for remote control dialogue
