ISL Light 4.4.2116.169 for Desktop and ISL Light Client 4.4.2116.17 for Mac and Linux (2022-07-19)

ISL Light now supports the ability to prevent session recording by the operator. In order to enable this option, permission for session recording has to be set on the server. The recording button will remain enabled but will spawn an error upon pressing it ("Session recording is not permitted. Please contact your system administrator"). Additionally command line arguments support was extended which gives the option to hide the recording button. In order to hide the recording button the following command line argument has to be used: --on-load "customization?hide_recording=true"
