25.10.13.2302

This update to Turbo Launcher includes the following improvements:

  • New Sites feature enables multi-region support where users can select target sites (e.g., San Jose, Shanghai). Applications show or hide based on the selected site and enterprise policy settings. Default site selection is performed based on proxy latency measurements. Policy administrators can configure sites and control app/profile visibility and other settings per site using visibilityConstraints.siteRefs and profiles[].siteRefs.

25.10.13.2288

This update to Turbo Launcher includes the following improvements:

  • New Session Management system and Sessions tab enables launching and managing multiple isolated instances of applications. Create new sessions, rename sessions for organization, and delete sessions when no longer needed. Sessions persist across Launcher restarts.
  • Credential indirection support allows policy administrators to reference credentials stored in Windows Credential Manager using {{CRED:id:field}} variable syntax. When the Sandbox Manager service loads the policy, it resolves credentials from the service account's credential store. If the Sandbox Manager is unavailable, the Launcher loads the policy directly and resolves credentials from the user's credential store.
  • Policy-driven context menus for Files tab actions are now dynamically generated from policy configuration, supporting custom operations.
  • ZIP file extraction support with extraction progress dialog.
  • Variable substitution system for file action commands supports Windows batch-style variables (%1, %~dp1, %~n1, %~dpn1) in command arguments and VM flags.
  • Policy schema has been updated with centralized file associations, app capabilities, glob pattern matching, flexible matcher logic (matchAll/matchAny), and app visibility controls. See breaking changes section below for migration details.

This update includes fixes for the following issues:

  • Shortcuts with Unicode characters (Chinese, Hindi, etc.) in names or paths now parse correctly
  • Read-only files can now be deleted from the Files tab
  • Long application names now display with ellipsis and tooltips
  • Underscores in folder names now display correctly in breadcrumb dropdown menus
  • Folders and shortcuts with the same name now both appear correctly
  • Proxy test action now retrieves and uses stored credentials correctly
  • Improved error reporting for proxy authentication failures
  • Reset Session renamed to Delete Sessions and now deletes all associated sessions for an application

Important: Policy Schema Breaking Change ​

Action Required: Policy files must be updated to the new schema format. The previous schema is not compatible with this version.

Key schema changes:

  • version removed
  • policyVersion added for deployment tracking
  • policies renamed to apps
  • apps[].name renamed to apps[].displayName
  • apps[].id now required
  • apps[].matchers replaced with apps[].matchAll or apps[].matchAny
  • apps[].profiles[].name renamed to apps[].profiles[].id
  • apps[].profiles[].displayName repurposed for session/log identity
  • apps[].profiles[].actionText now required for UI menu text
  • apps[].fileAssociations moved to centralized fileTypes and fileAssociations arrays
  • apps[].targetPath added as alternative to matchAll for system utilities

25.10.13.2211

This update to Turbo Launcher includes the following improvements:

  • New Files tab provides secure interactive access to files within your sandbox shared storage. Browse and manage your files, import files and folders from your local system, and open files with policy-controlled applications.
  • Policy administrators can configure file operation permissions and define file associations to control which applications handle specific file types and actions.
  • Policy schema has been updated to version 1.1. This release introduces a new configuration section for global launch settings that apply to all launches, a new files section to define file operation policies (import, open, delete), file associations that can be embedded within application policies to control which applications handle specific file types, and adds apps as an alias for the policies section.
  • Policy backup and recovery system automatically maintains backups of valid policy files and restores from backups if policy files become unavailable or corrupted
  • Improved policy engine performance
  • Improved startup performance with loading animations

This update includes fixes for the following issues:

  • Policy files would not be automatically loaded when policy folders are created after startup
  • About page would not load VM version information in offline scenarios
