Software update: TeamViewer 15.15.5

Version 15.15 of TeamViewer has been released. This program allows remote management of other computers via a secure VPN connection. That connection runs through TeamViewer’s servers, so no settings on the router need to be adjusted to make it all work. TeamViewer is free for non-commercial use and is being developed for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. The changelog for this release looks like this:

New features

• You can now edit assignment configurations in the Management Console. Changes do not affect devices that have already been assigned to a manager. Devices that are newly assigned to a manager always use the most recent assignment configuration.
• Users now have the ability to use the PDF format for remote printing on Windows. The preferred format (PDF or XPS) can be selected on the Advanced tab of TeamViewer’s settings.
• The Chromium-based browser engine is now available for IoT users. Install the WebView2 runtime and enhance your experience when accessing the web interfaces of IoT devices.
• Find out more about ServiceCamp – Integrated service desk to manage your IT tickets efficiently in “More solutions” tab

Improvements

• Raised minimum requirements for the personal password (unattended access).
• Implemented a measure to prevent a Microsoft Windows system DLL from loading untrusted DLLs from the application directory into the service process. Nota Bene: Thank you, Fabián Cuchietti with Innotec Security, for the finding and following a responsible disclosure model.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug while in a meeting that prevented the user from sending a meeting invitation upon contact selection.
• Fixed a bug where the entry for “ClientID” was no longer written to the Windows registry for new installations.
