What's New

With the ControlOne Agen 2.0.1, we have made several enhancements. These enhancements include:

• All new branding, login flow, multi-factor auth experience, and many UX improvements.
• New high visibility system tray icons representing the connection state and status. mceclip1.png
• Improved responsiveness, energy efficiency, CPU + memory utilization on Windows and macOS.
• The Agent now reacts to controller messages in a fraction of the time, such as when a device is quarantined because of a device posture failure, or when a user's Zone assignment is changed by an admin.
• Status now displays "Account Pending" when the User's assigned Zone has no Cloud Gateway configured.
• The connection status byte counters now display the rate (not volume) of data securely sent and received by the Agent through the ControlOne platform.
• Faster connection setup + reconnection times, and more robust failure avoidance including a new DNS based probe.
• A new command line interface `controlone-cli` is now included in the installation directory -- for  Nerds only :) Try the `--help` option to get started.
• Wifi / Lateral movement protection status is now displayed in the main panel.
• Added automatic log rotation.

Bug Fixes

• The Agent would use more CPU than necessary while failing Device Posture Check or when the system was unable to reach the ControlOne platform.
• The tray GUI could be running without a system tray icon or a main window, on Windows.
• The tray GUI would sometimes appear in the task bar on Windows.
• When Windows "hotspot mode" was enabled, the Agent's connectivity and guests of the hotspot would be unable to pass traffic.
• The tray GUI was not auto launching when installed an AD joined system, or would not launch when logging into Windows with cached Azure credentials.
• A new ControlOne virtual adapter was being created more often than necessary on Windows.
• A login startup item would appear in macOS System Preferences application as an unsigned binary called "open" in macOS Ventura (13.x).
• Fixed a bug preventing the local gateway IP from being displayed on macOS.
• The Agent would spawn more threads than necessary on macOS.
• The background service would not properly handle SIGTERM on macOS.
• Local gateway IP would blank out on the diagnostic panel for macOS.

Known Issues

• The connection counters and graph may get stuck until a reboot or background service restart on Windows systems that return from "hibernation" / S4 sleep state and reconnect automatically. Agent connectivity is unaffected by this graphical bug.
• Some WSL2 applications are unable to pass traffic when using the Agent.
• The username may disappear from the bottom of main panel when upgrading versions on macOS. Agent connectivity is unaffected by this graphical bug.
