14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has released a new version of its Remote Desktop management software to developers this week. Version 3.6 build 360A16 brings support for the IPv6 protocol, compatibility with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and more.
Listing known issues, the seed notes for Apple’s Remote Desktop 3.61 reveal that build 360A16 is required on Macs running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the upcoming Mac OS version scheduled to debut this summer.
According to AppleInsider, the new build offers the same features as before - “when it was originally released alongside the first developer preview of the new operating system.”
Fixes mentioned in the release notes include screen control issues with NVIDIA graphic cards and OS X Mountain Lion.
Apple developers have managed to make some reliability improvements as well, particularly when copying a duplicate item to and from a client.
Lastly, Apple mentions that certain tasks are now in proper working order. These include "copy to computer," "create client installer," "upgrade client" and "chat."
Most importantly, Remote Desktop 3.6 adds support for the IPv6 protocol and Mountain Lion compatibility. An excerpt from the change log (courtesy of the aforementioned source) can be found below:
