MeshCommander - Internationalization, KVM Recording, Bug Fixes

Today, MeshCommander v0.8.6 was published with more features and bug fixes. By far the most important improvement to MeshCommander is its new internationalization support with, in addition to English, 9 new languages supported including Japanese and Simplified Chinese. This will help broaden the number of people that can make use of Intel® AMT in their native language. In addition to this, KVM session recoding is now built-into MeshCommander, a feature that was only available on MeshCentral in the past. In Detail:
  • Multi-language support. The Windows MSI installed version of MeshCommander now offers an additional menu to switch between 10 languages. Supported languages: Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian in addition to English. These are machine translations and since MeshCentral is open source, the community is very much encouraged to help improve the translations. The translation file is on GitHub here. The same format and tools used for MeshCentral translations can also be used for MeshCommander. This is the result of a lot of work and internalization for additional versions of MeshCommander will be coming out in the future.
  • KVM recording support. MeshCommander is now capable of recording a KVM session and playing it back. A new recording button is now present on the bottom right of the remote desktop tab to start and stop the recording. When stopping or disconnecting, the user will be prompted to save the recording file to disk. It’s not fully obvious at first, the being able to start an Intel AMT KVM recording at any point in time is technically tricky, however, it’s sometime MeshCommander can so and it works.
  • KVM session playback. The Session Player tab on MeshCommander is now, of course, capable of playing back recorded sessions. You can start, restart and select the playback speed to quickly see what happened. Note that MeshCentral v0.5.70 and MeshCommander v0.8.5 have compatible recording capabilities and session players. So, you can record a KVM session in one and play it back on the other making the Mesh ecosystem work as one would expect.
Of course, more bug fixes were also done on this version, notably for IDER. As usual, feedback appreciated. If you see any problems and need support on something, please create a new issue on GitHub or help other users.

Enjoy,

MeshCentral - Windows ARM64, NodeJS v11, NPM Packages

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted and now that I am settling a bit more in my work at Microsoft, I have a bit of time to occasionally look after MeshCentral again. It's about time, there where a bunch of things that needed to get fixed. Before that, I want to say that I am doing great. I am working on Microsoft Forms which is one of the offerings of Microsoft 365. For kicks, I started a YouTube channel on Microsoft Forms here during a Microsoft hacking week. I tried to up my game since the videos I last published for MeshCentral. Also, I wanted to share pictures below. I was at a Tesla Supercharger last weekend and, by luck, got to see a Tesla Cybertruck in person. It's very big. Obviously, this is a release candidate driven by a Tesla employee. I saw it after attempting to see the solar eclipse over Oregon, but sadly, too many clouds and saw nothing. In any case, back to MeshCentral. In the last few months a few things have happened with the new releases. Wind...

Starting work at Microsoft

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since the last blog post and I wanted up update everyone on what is going on. As many of you know already from a discussion on GitHub , Bryan and I have been laid-off from Intel in early November 2022. This was quite a surprise as MeshCentral, MeshCommander, MeshCMD and other tools where widely used. This said, Intel has been having poor financials and Bryan and I where part of a very large first wave of downsizing by the company that involved many people that I know and worked with for a long time. I had been working for Intel for over 25 years having started in September 1998. Over the years I worked on IPsec key negotiation, Universal Plug & Play, DLNA and Intel® AMT. I loved working on all these projects and especially loved working with the open-source community on Mesh projects. Obviously, this was not my decision and Bryan and I had look for what comes next. One option was to continue working on MeshCentral as part of another company or with...
