Release 1805 is available.
This article summarises the changes and new features in Cloudhouse release 1805.
Aligned Version Numbers
Cloudhouse is introducing version alignment across all components, to help improve the level of information published in release notes, and aid those packaging applications if they need to work with support teams. This means the Auto Packager, Editor and the Container (Run, Deploy and Usage) will all be aligned with AppAccelerator, currently versioned v4.5.249.nnnn - the build number, nnnn, will be different for each component.
New Features In Containers
Cloudhouse.Containers 4.5.249.480
- HTTPS Usage Reporting - by default, Containers will report deploy, start, stop and uninstall events over https (Port 443) to https://containers.cloudhouse.com and https://auth.cloudhouse.com so a file share is no longer required. Reporting via a file share is still available with /usagelocation. Partners and customers will be issued a usage reporting token by Cloudhouse. See Frequently Asked Questions on HTTPS Usage Reporting and Licensing & Reporting for details.

Known Issues
Please contact Support@cloudhouse.com if you require the following features.
AppAcceleratorV
- MSJava based apps will crash on startup, this is caused by a bug in AppAcceleratorV opening the Registry under HKEY when redirection is not required.
- The NotWow64Process compatibility Feature does not work reliably on all Windows 10 builds because different versions of Windows 10 use different flags.
- Cloudhouse has identified a potential reliability issue with Network Port and IP redirections and have temporarily disabled the feature until it has been resolved.
Deprecated Features
- AppAccelerator's compatibility Feature HookKernelObjects is no longer supported, AppAccelerator provides hooks for all the required kernel objects.
