Esper Agent Version: v8.9.2059
New Features and Announcements
- You can now configure certificates using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) in a blueprint to connect devices to networks that require authentication and encryption.
- We have a new Esper Agent version for iOS/iPadOS devices, v.1.2.1. We’ve also added support for iOS 26 for our Remote Viewer. No need to take any action: all iOS and iPadOS devices should be updated to the latest version.
- You can now use serial numbers in iOS app configurations. Customize a device’s homepage in the following way: www.example.com/ANDI-123-1234. Learn more about app configurations.
- Our Linux offering is now in general release. We’ve added multiple features across Linux device management:
- Parallel command execution: ability to perform parallel execution through scripts through a blueprint or at the device level.
- User management: create admins and standard users to manage your Linux devices.
- Remote viewer: remote into your Debian, Ubuntu or piOS device to view and control its screen.
- Red Hat seamless: seamlessly provision a RedHat device.
- Yocto support: seamlessly provision a piOS device with Yocto.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed an issue where devices were briefly shown to be in drift on the individual device page despite not being in drift.
- Fixed an issue where users who signed up with special characters in their name experienced issues within the console. We’ve added better user name handling, meaning users shouldn’t experience these issues when signing up.
- Esper Agent improvements:
- Added a new error message for duplicate pending app installations triggered via the install command.
- Added support to display the device serial number while onboarding.
- Fixed display orientation issues seen for certain landscape-first devices. Orientation changes now function correctly across blueprints, commands, and the remote viewer.
- Fixed an issue where the Launchable But Hidden State would not work after the Esper Agent was restarted.
We’re excited to launch DevRel 174 over the coming days, and the Esper team is hard at work on the next release. Please contact Esper Support to share your thoughts on how Esper can improve future releases.
