Receiver 13.9.1 for Linux

Browser content redirection

Redirects the contents of a web browser to a client device and creates a corresponding browser embedded within Citrix Receiver. This feature offloads network usage, page processing, and graphics rendering to the endpoint. Doing so improves the user experience when browsing demanding webpages, especially webpages that incorporate HTML5 or Flash video. Browser content redirection is supported only on the x86 and x64 platforms.

For more information, see Browse content redirection and Browser content redirection policy settings in XenApp and XenDesktop documentation.

Better logging

The retail build of standard Citrix Receiver for Linux can now generate and send logs through syslog. This feature allows the handling of messages to be controlled based on their level and origin. Retail logging support is being introduced for the Connection Sequence (WD, PD, TD, Proxy) and Printing components. This helps users troubleshoot, and - in cases of complicated issues - facilitate the support team's job by using the detailed logs available. The log output is similar to the current debugging mode.

The logging parameters, log level, log file, log method (sequence, multi-sequential, cycle), and the module to be logged can be configured using configuration files. For information about enabling retail logging, see Enabling retail logging.

Support for Citrix Ready workspace hub

The difference between packages that offer support for Web Receiver and those that support self-service is that the latter packages include dependencies required for self-service in addition to those needed for the Web Receiver. Dependencies for self-service are a superset of those required for Web Receiver, but the files installed are identical. 

If you only require Web Receiver support, or your distribution doesn’t have the necessary packages to support self-service then install the Web Receiver only package.

If your distribution allows, install Receiver from the Debian package or RPM package. These files are generally easier to use because they automatically install any required packages. If you want to control the installation location, install Receiver from the tarball package.
