2.1. What's New

See Appendix A, Changelog for the list of bugs fixed in the Sun Ray Software 5.2.5 release update.

2.1.1. Faster USB Mass Storage Performance and a Broader Choice of USB Peripherals

Improvements include:

  • Mass storage read/write speeds up to 5x faster than previous Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software releases on Sun Ray 3 Series Clients.

  • Access to an unprecendented broad range of USB devices. Tested devices include USB printers, scanners, storage devices, secure flash drives, biometric devices, and headsets.

    See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sunrayproducts/docs/index.html for the list of tested devices.

  • A tuned and optimized USB and network stack to minimize network latency.

2.1.2. Separate Session Locale and Keyboard Layout Settings for Windows Sessions

Two new options have been added to the uttsc command. The -G option for specifying the language/locale for the session and the -Y option for specifying the keyboard layout used to process the keyboard input. For example, you can specify the Nl-NL Dutch locale with an international US English keyboard layout as follows: uttsc -G nl-NL -Y en-US:INT.

See the uttsc man page for more details. The -l option is still available and sets both the language/locale and keyboard layout.
