New feature: Add and manage RemoteApps and desktops via the web interface (#165, #173, #174, #180, #181, #183)

With this release you can now add, edit, and remove RemoteApps and desktops that are stored in the registry or were uploaded to the RAWeb interface. That's right - you can now upload RDP files directly from the web interface. We also offer a discovery feature that makes it easy to find apps installed on the same machine as RAWeb that can be converted into RemoteApps, including any shortcut in the start menu and any packaged app (appx/msix).

From the web interface, you can now:

  • upload RDP files
  • edit RDP file properties
  • edit icons and wallpapers
  • configure security permissions for individual RemoteApps and desktops
  • configure file type associations
  • rename RemoteApps and desktops
  • control whether an added resource is visible in the web interface and in workspace/webfeed clients

For a detailed guide on all of the ways you can provide RemoteApps and desktops to RAWeb, see the Publishing RemoteApps and Desktops documentation page. It has screenshots of examples.

Embedded documentation: moved and improved (#152, #184, #187)

RAWeb's documentation has a new home! Our documentation is now available at https://raweb.app/docs and starting with this release, an embedded version is included with every RAWeb installation. This means that the documentation you see in your installation of RAWeb will always be correct for the version of RAWeb you have.

We recognize that some users prefer a smaller installation, so we still provide a version of RAWeb that does not have the embedded documentation.

The documentation has also been expanded; existing pages from the old documentation have been updated and many more pages related to the functionality and administration of RAWeb have been added. We still have some work to do on the user guide. If you are interested in helping with the non-technical aspects of the user guide, please leave a comment on the issue where we are tracking progress.

Additional changes

  • We now provided a .wcx (RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Configuration File) for Windows clients. It can be accessed via the settings page. #185
  • For the occasional icon that cannot be converted from PNG to ICO, we now fall back to the default icon instead of responding with an error. #168
  • On supported browsers, we now use TSWorkspace/2.0 for the User-Agent when fetching the workspace and its resource. This matches how Microsoft's workspace clients behave. #155
  • Registry RemoteApps now use the last modified timestamp from the registry key instead of using the current date and time. #154
  • RAWeb's workspaced/webfeed now works Thincast's RD WebAccess Client. #169
