In previous version the maximum supported operating system version of macOS did not cover BigSur. Support for macOS BigSur was added.
Added the option to choose to lock the remote ISL AlwaysOn computer upon session end.
Added support for listing directories and handling of file commands.
The file transfer API was extended to allow setting of target destination on a remote machine upon file transfer request.
The file transfer implementation was redesigned which improved the compatibility of file transfer to Windows version of ISL Light Client, handling of BPS as well as reporting of finished file transfer on the remote side.
Added support for automatic approval of file manager permissions in ISL AlwaysOn.
Added back-end support for the file transfer event log functionality.
In case the currently active file transfer is cancelled the client will send to the operator the cause of why this occurred.
Added back-end support for sending File Transfer audit logs to ISL Conference Proxy. Sending of audit logs depends on ISL Conference Proxy setting.
Audit log now includes information about file size and file hash for the transferred files.
Added audit log notice based on audit level logging set on ISL Conference Proxy. In ISL AlwaysOn this notice is not shown, due to unattended access flow.
When recording session in ISL AlwaysOn the recording will now also include file transfer audit log.
Added back-end support for terminating idle sessions.
Users sometimes experienced an issue where they would experience a crash due to audit and recording interface implementation. The audit and recording interface implementation was redesigned and will no longer cause crashes.

Audit log ( written in session log ) now includes also the reason of why certain transfer failed.
Added backend support for the file manager functionality.

The defect was fixed.
Network interfaces are now read only once per running instance.
đ In previous version of ISL AlwaysOn when users opened help link, email client or disk location those actions were executed with elevated permissions. Action starting was redesigned, the actions will now be executed with non-elevated permissions.

When transferring files between two different operating systems ( Windows , Linux ) the file path separator was not aware of the operating system used. This caused incorrect file path. Detection of underlying operating system is now performed and file path separator is used based on the operating system.
The defect was fixed.
Users experienced an issue where despite audit level on server being set to full, the client side did not display the correct message notifying the client that all audit events by the operator aswell as metadata information will be logged.
