# Linux Agent

**2.17 (25 May 2025 - 2.17.0.6229)**

### New Features

- You can now replace the default tray icon notification for Remote Control sessions with a floating ControlUp logo using the [Extended Settings page](https://support.controlup.com/docs/extended-settings#linux-only-enable-floating-remote-control-notification).
- Added support for ControlUp for Apps for Linux operating systems.

### Fixes

- Improved Remote Control reliability by fixing issues causing connection failures.
- Power events missing for some devices.
- Hardware CPU name missing for some devices.
- Latency targets [configured to use TCP protocol](https://support.controlup.com/docs/network-performance#configure-latency-targets) were using ICMP instead.

### Known Issues

- In some cases the agent is not reporting application crashes correctly, leading to inconsistencies between various crash details reports, and employee experience scores being unaffected by crashes.
- Devices using a Wi-Fi connection are reported as having a wired connection.

**2.16 (23 February 2025 - 2.16.1.5491)**

### New features

- The Agent now collects data about all connected displays such as the resolution, orientation, rotation, interface type, serial number, etc. This information is in the new data index **Builtin_peripherals**. [Learn more](https://support.controlup.com/docs/peripherals).
- Updated the Agent to compile using .NET 8. Note that this is self-contained within the Agent and does not require you to update your devices to a specific version of .NET.

### Fixes

- Customizing device geolocation by IP address range wasn’t working correctly. [Learn more](https://support.controlup.com/docs/extended-settings#custom-device-location-by-ip-range).

**2.15 (13 October 2024 - 2.15.0.4777)**

### New Features

- Remote Control and Remote Shadow sessions can now automatically reconnect in case of a network connection interruption or device reboot. Automatic reconnect after device reboot is currently in beta testing and supported only on Windows, and must be manually enabled. [Learn more](https://support.controlup.com/docs/remote-control-or-shadow-a-device#automatic-reconnect).
- More hardware model name information for Lenovo devices.
- Added Remote DX server-side DLLs for future product enhancements.

### Fixes

- Incorrect system CPU calculation.
- Faster WebSocket connection after a network change or outage.
- Improved support for SUSE Enterprise Server.
- Very long process names are now truncated.
- Improved process friendly name detection.
- The user is not considered Idle during a video conference or other application that prevents system idle state.
