note

You may see differences in the exact Eggplant Gateway build listed here and in the version you see installed on your system, or on the Eggplant Functional About panel, for example. The contents of any build of the 26.2 version should contain the functionality listed here unless otherwise specified. The build is the number you see to the right of the dash in the version.

Eggplant Gateway for iOS

• Fixes an issue where the CAPS handshake during VNC connection setup could clear the iOS device clipboard, causing RemoteClipboard() to return an empty value immediately after connecting.

Eggplant Gateway for RDP

• Adds a --redirectSmartCards CLI option to control whether smart card devices are redirected into the RDP session. Smart card redirection is enabled by default. Set this option to false on machines without smart card services to avoid connection errors.
• Upgrades FreeRDP to version 3.24.3 to address CVEs identified in previous versions through an upgrade to OpenSSL 3.6.2.

Persistent Connection Service (PCS)

• Adds a new REST endpoint (POST /api/v1.0/connection/{gateway}/{id}/screenshot/crop) that returns a cropped region of the active connection's framebuffer as a base64-encoded PNG image. This enables AI-assisted workflows and tooling to capture specific screen areas without requiring a full VNC webview panel.
