🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes
Smoother Startup with Built-in Registry Cleanup
The Roaming Client now includes automatic registry cleanup during startup, improving stability—especially when the system was previously in an unstable or "dirty" network state. This replaces the need for manual PowerShell scripts and ensures a smoother initialization process.
Fixed Intermittent Offline Issues
We've resolved a bug that occasionally caused the Roaming Client to go offline unexpectedly, leading to DNS filtering interruptions and VPN disconnections. This fix ensures a more stable and consistent connection, even after the device wakes from sleep.
Improved Network Protocol Switching
Devices that previously cycled between online and offline states every 15 seconds when switching between IPv6 and IPv4 networks will now remain connected. Transitions between network types are now seamless and reliable.

Chrome Extension
RC Release Channels
4/9 April 9 - ChromeOS Roaming Client v2.4.0
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:
Enhancements
- Introduced new hidden metadata field for hashed device serial number, in preparation for the new Manifest V3 compatible Chrome RC due out in May.
NOTE
: It is advised to double check your Google Workspace / RMM settings for automatic updates for Google extensions. This specific version of the ChromeOS Roaming Client includes a new backend metadata field that will prevent the new version in May from duplicating Roaming Client records in the dashboard. Failing to update to this interim version will result in the aforementioned duplication.
