Ahead of Google's deprecation of Manifest v2, which is the architecture on which the ChromeOS Roaming Client has been based, we are releasing a final build for this specific ecosystem before releasing an all new Manifest V3 compatible ChromeOS Roaming Client v3.0 in May.

The following enhancements are included in this release:

:

We've released an update to the Active Directory Sync Tool, which solves reported issues with group synchronization.

The reported issue preventing certain user groups from syncing has been resolved, ensuring all AD Sync operations now accurately reflect group memberships as expected.

The following updates have been made to the Android Roaming Client in this routine deployment:

The Android app now checks in against the DNSFilter API every 5 minutes (reduced from 30 minutes) to improve synchronization and ensure more consistent reporting in the Roaming Client Management dashboard.

Icons and logos for the Android Roaming Client have been refreshed to reflect the latest DNSFilter brand standards.

The Android app now includes all required declarations to meet current Google Play policy requirements.

The following enhancements and fixes have been deployed to the DNSFilter dashboard and API.

Premium Support customers can now easily find their Org ID and User PIN directly in the side navigation, just below the support phone number—no need to visit the organization page.

Fixed an issue where backspacing in the policy search field caused a minor console error. This had no user impact but is now addressed.

When "Limit Display of Personal Data" is enabled, Collections are now removed from Insights breakdowns to better protect user privacy.

Resolved a mismatch in date ranges between the Overview and Insights pages. Both now display data from the same 7-day period, including the current day.

Fixed an issue where the map overlay interfered with dropdown selections in the Sites table.

Corrected a bug where enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) in a sub-org incorrectly applied the setting to the MSP parent org.

Users can now be manually removed from scheduled reports without needing to replace them, simplifying report management.

Hostname information is now consistent between RC Management and User pages, ensuring clarity across views.

Navigating to DNS Query Logs from RC Management now auto-applies filters for the selected device and clears previous ones, streamlining the experience.

Fixed an issue where lookup jobs for user agent cleanups were failing due to database timeouts for some organizations.

A new version of the Windows RC is now available via the Beta channel. This version can be downloaded from the dashboard Deployments → Roaming Clients → Install.

For more details on Release Channels and the current versions available for both Beta and Production channels, check out our help docs.

Kicking off a series of enhancements that will be made through the year, we've completely overhauled our Roaming Client management experience. Every aspect of the Roaming Client is able to be searched, sorted, and filtered within the dashboard. The Internet is inherently dynamic, so administering your roaming clients should reflect that.

Moreover, for our multi-tenant MSP customers, you can now administer all your roaming clients at the parent level. No more having to drill into each sub-organization to ascertain the state of your deployments, it's all conveniently under a new Deployments tab in the parent level menu.

To get you accustomed to the new experience, we've introduced guided tours within the product. You'll see this pop up in the lower left hand corner of your dashboard the first time you log in with the new experience turned on. If you need to revisit the tour, click on the help icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen and select "Guided Tours" to find the Roaming Client tour once more.

Oh, and one more thing! To free up some space on your screen, there is now a button at the top of the menu bar to collapse the menu bar and widen the viewport.

As always, we welcome your feedback on the new experience. Please reach out to your Customer Success representative and tell us how we did!

Today's APP/API deployment has a bunch of under the hood changes to support the aforementioned new experience. Beyond the scope of that, the following changes have been made to the APP/API:
