Release 2.36 introduces the following new features:

  • Connect via VPN/Interconnect: In situations where you can't use IAP TCP forwarding, you can now
    configure IAP Desktop to directly connect to the private IP address of a VM. You can find the new setting in
    the Connection Settings window and you can configure it for individual VMs, zones, or entire projects. (#870)

  • Tab coloring: IAP Desktop now uses different tab colors to help distinguish different types of sessions:

    • Blue indicates that a session was connected via IAP TCP forwarding
    • Gold indicates that a session was connected via VPN/Interconnect
    • Plum/purple indicates that a session was initiated from a browser
  • Session tooltips: Hovering over a tab now shows information about the session, including the user you
    used to authenticate.

  • Automatic theme selection: IAP Desktop now automatically selects a theme (light/dark) based on your
    Windows settings.

  • Credential callbacks: When launching IAP Desktop from a browser, you can now optionally provide a
    credential callback URL that IAP Desktop can use to automatically obtain user credentials. (#872)

In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes, including:

  • After minimizing and restoring a full-screen RDP session, the window wasn't properly restored. (280783689)
  • Opening an iap-rdp:/// URL didn't work
    correctly if you were already connected to the same VM and the IAP Desktop window was minimized.
  • If you set an operating system filter in the Project Explorer window, the filter was persisted.
    This was inconsistent with how other filters worked. (273494372, 280659989)
  • In some circumstances, launching a second copy of IAP Desktop caused the first copy to fail (280666330, 278929559).
