Dates: May 22, 2024 - May 28, 2024
Esper Agent Version: v7.18.0649
New Features
- We’ve added WPA-3 to the list of network security types. You can now add devices to WPA-3 from the device details page, the provisioning screen, in Esper Settings, or through a blueprint. WPA-3 access is supported on Android 11+ devices with an Esper Agent version of 7.18+.
- We’ve updated User Management > Custom Roles to include more scopes for Provisioning Templates. Users with this role can now:
- Add IMEI or serial numbers
- Delete IMEI or serial numbers
- Edit IMEI or serial numbers
- Update Wi-Fi Management
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- We’ve made a small edit to the message about clearing app cache for a device’s apps. Both cache and data are cleared, so we’ve updated the message to let you know.
- We’ve made some optimizations to our Devices & Groups table which should improve loading as you visit the page and move between pages.
- We’ve optimized the Blueprints Manager table, so you should see faster load times when you visit the page and move between pages.
- In some cases, new user invites would fail when a user was invited as a Group Admin or Group Viewer if one of the groups they were assigned to was deleted. Now, new user invites won’t fail no matter if any number of groups they’re assigned to were deleted beforehand.
- We’ve made Remote Viewer improvements available for all new sign-ups. This update comes with a higher frame rate and more supported gestures for eligible devices and we’ll be rolling this out to existing tenants in the coming weeks. Enhancements to Remote Viewer are available for Android devices on Esper Agent version 7.9.2269+.
- We fixed an issue where the device count for groups was incorrect. Now you’ll see the correct device count when looking at a group.
- We fixed an issue where the device’s Settings page required a refresh to show the correct timezone, or would default to Africa, Abidjan. You should now see the correct timezone – no refresh needed.
- We’ve updated the text for Allow Wi-Fi settings in a Blueprint for Android devices to include Ethernet. It now reads: "Works only with devices connected to a cellular network or ethernet. If the device cannot connect to a cell network or ethernet connection, Esper will turn Wi-Fi on automatically after ten seconds."
- Continuing our improvements to tags from DevRel 137, you can now filter with multiple tags for Android and iOS devices. We've removed tags from the search bar, as you were only able to search by one tag at a time. These changes will start rolling out May 27th.
- We’ve changed the settings for our Sample Blueprint (the first blueprint you see in a new tenant). Some notable changes are that the time will default to Auto Device Timezone and the Language will be set to English (United States). We originally announced this for DevRel 137, but these changes were made available for DevRel 138. Click on the details chevron to see a full list of default settings.
