Jun 22, 2020 Beginning August 2018, Citrix Receiver will be replaced by Citrix Workspace app. While you can still download older versions of Citrix Receiver, new features and enhancements will be released for Citrix Workspace app. Citrix Workspace app is a new client from Citrix that works similar to Citrix Receiver and is fully backward-compatible with. In addition Rachel Berry wrote an excellent blog about how Citrix leveraged Intel NUCs running ThinLinx for our Demos and Labs at Citrix Synergy 2015. The process is as follows: Go to this website and download the TLXOS Installer for Raspberry Pi. Connect your micro SD card to your PC and run the TLXOS installer.

Monday October 26 2020
ThinLinX has today released TLXOS 4.9.1
Tuesday June 16 2020
ThinLinX has just released TLXOS 4.8.0, TLXOS 4.9.0 and TMS 8.2.0
• TLXOS 4.8.0 will be the final release for NUC32 and RPi IoT, and that it is an older release than 4.7.1 in that it is based on Debian 8 (Jessie) rather than Debian 9 (Stretch), but newer with regard to TMS agent functionality and bug fixes.
• What’s the difference between 4.8.0 and 4.9.0? The short answer is that 4.8.0 has older versions of Horizon Client, Citrix Receiver and the Chromium web browser, and uses ext2 (no compression, faster) rather than reiser4 (with compression, slower) for its main filesystem. Otherwise they’re functionally very similar.
• Starting with the new TLXOS 4.8.0 and TLXOS 4.9.0 Licenses never expire, we have removed the previous requirement to buy a new License every three years (renewal was needed if you wanted to upgrade firmware after three years)
• If you are running an older version of TLXOS, to see the support expiry change to “Never”, you can just upgrade to the latest TLXOS 4.8.0, 4.9.0 or install the new TMS Client end 8.2.0, also ensure that you have upgraded TMS to the new TMS 8.2.0

Tuesday October 16 2019
TLXOS 4.7.1 released for Raspberry Pi (also RPi4 Dual Display), RePurpose PC and Laptops and Intel Small Form Factor devices
Bug fixes and enhancements are
General issues:
KeyboardSync must be Off by default in ICAClient/config/module.ini; use (User Profile) rather than (Server Default) as default setting
RPi and IoT try to launch chromium rather than chromium-browser in dsi script
used TMPFILE instead of $TMPFILE in storage_detect
used nic_wireless_security instead of nic_security in tlxinit
RePC missing mount.ntfs wrapper
forgot to remove pr3287 and x3270 from /usr/local/bin on RePC
wpa-*client-cert, wpa-*private-key and wpa-*ca-cert incorrectly using underscores in tlxinit
incorrect variable names used for privkey, pubkey and cacert for 802.1X/WPA2 Enterprise with certificates
4.19 kernel needs “i915.enable_fbc=0” to avoid graphics artifacts on Gemini Lake systems (ISFF only)
rdp treats “–help” as a hostname
RPi kernel needs hwmon drivers for PoE HAT
ISFF kernel needs igb NIC driver (for Chaco Canyon)
removing “.ica” files after use causes unwanted popup; use /etc/persist/exclusions to avoid saving them instead
pxe-server must share root filesystem read-write because Reiser4 cannot cope with truly read-only devices
Pi 4 may be unable to boot with dual monitors, and locks up dragging windows when not using KMS (needs newer Broadcom firmware)
tms_client and Tlxconfig issues:
must use “-md MD5” when decrypting with openssl in misc.c:decrypt_firmware() due to default digest change in OpenSSL 1.1
incorrect variable names used for privkey, pubkey and cacert for 802.1X/WPA2 Enterprise with certificates
Pi 4 serial number format has changed in new firmware, requires backward compatibility workarounds
install_wallpaper() and install_bookmarks() can create unreadable files with 000 permissions
dsi_validate_settings() and dsi_sync_dir() should should abort if current mode is not DSI (Tlxconfig)
decrypt_firmware() uses err_handler() instead of progress_handler(), and potential division by zero bug
remove “revoke” license action from Tlxconfig
TLS encryption overheads cause very slow downloads; tms_client should use larger transaction size where possible (fix requires TMS >= 8.2.0)
TFM issues:
TFM lacks support for 802.1X with certificates
incorrect variable names used for privkey, pubkey and cacert for 802.1X/WPA2 Enterprise with certificates
mustn’t assume that NVMe storage has no sysfs attributes or that it will respond to scsi_id probes (ISFF and RePC only)
The TLXOS 4.7.1 release includes the following upgrades:
VMware Horizon Client 5.2.0, with lightweight client except on TLXOS RPi (which uses legacy client because lightweight client is still too buggy)
Citrix Workspace App 1908
tms_client 8.1.1
