We are happy to announce Eggplant Gateway 26.3.3-0048 (August 13, 2026). This release of Eggplant Gateway contains the following enhancements and defect fixes:

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 26.3 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 Android​

  • Updates the Appium UiAutomator2 server and Appium Settings app used for Android device automation to their latest versions. As a result, Eggplant Gateway for Android now requires devices running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later; earlier Android versions are no longer supported.

Eggplant Gateway for RDP​

  • Adds support for capturing SUT audio (microphone redirection) over RDP connections. Use the new --audioCapture command-line option or EPGW_RDP_AUDIO_CAPTURE environment variable, to enable it. This is disabled by default.
  • Changes the default for RDP audio playback (--audioPlayback) from true to false. If you rely on hearing SUT audio through your RDP connection, explicitly set --audioPlayback true or EPGW_RDP_AUDIO_PLAYBACK when creating the connection.

Eggplant Gateway for Sauce Labs​

  • Fixes an issue where typing umlauts and other special characters on Sauce Labs real devices could produce missing or out-of-order characters. (CRD-1820)
  • Improves connection cleanup for Sauce Labs Safari browser sessions, reducing the chance of leaked resources when a session ends.

Persistent Connection Service (PCS)​

  • Fixes an issue where an Android device could appear as a duplicate connection after being automatically detected and then also added manually. The automatic connection is now retired once you add the device manually. (CRD-1986).

General​

FreeRDP Security Updates for Eggplant Gateway RDP Connections​

Eggplant Gateway for RDP connections now use FreeRDP 3.30.0, which includes the following security fixes:

  • Fixes a critical clipboard file-transfer buffer overflow (CVE-2026-68579) that a malicious or compromised RDP server could exploit during copy/paste operations.
  • Fixes a Kerberos-based Network Level Authentication (NLA) vulnerability (CVE-2026-73242) that could allow out-of-bounds memory access during the login handshake.
  • Preserves existing TLS security defaults with this FreeRDP upgrade for compatibility with older Windows RDP servers.

For the full list of upstream changes, see the FreeRDP 3.30.0 release notes.
