- New high visibility system tray icons representing the connection state and status.

- The Agent now reacts to controller messages in a fraction of the time, such as when a device is quarantined because of a device posture failure, or when a user's Zone assignment is changed by an admin.
- Status now displays "Account Pending" when the User's assigned Zone has no Cloud Gateway configured.
- The connection status byte counters now display the rate (not volume) of data securely sent and received by the Agent through the ControlOne platform.
- Faster connection setup + reconnection times, and more robust failure avoidance including a new DNS based probe.
- A new command line interface `controlone-cli` is now included in the installation directory -- for Nerds only :) Try the `--help` option to get started.
- Wifi / Lateral movement protection status is now displayed in the main panel.
- Added automatic log rotation.
Bug Fixes
- The Agent would use more CPU than necessary while failing Device Posture Check or when the system was unable to reach the ControlOne platform.
- The tray GUI could be running without a system tray icon or a main window, on Windows.
- The tray GUI would sometimes appear in the task bar on Windows.
- When Windows "hotspot mode" was enabled, the Agent's connectivity and guests of the hotspot would be unable to pass traffic.
- The tray GUI was not auto launching when installed an AD joined system, or would not launch when logging into Windows with cached Azure credentials.
- A new ControlOne virtual adapter was being created more often than necessary on Windows.
- A login startup item would appear in macOS System Preferences application as an unsigned binary called "open" in macOS Ventura (13.x).

- Local gateway IP would blank out on the diagnostic panel for macOS.
Known Issues
- The connection counters and graph may get stuck until a reboot or background service restart on Windows systems that return from "hibernation" / S4 sleep state and reconnect automatically. Agent connectivity is unaffected by this graphical bug.
- Some WSL2 applications are unable to pass traffic when using the Agent.

2022 releases
ControlOne Agent 1.3.14.4
November 9, 2022
Bug Fixes

- The Agent would be connected to the Quarantine Zone in some cases, even when the client device was passing the policy check.
- The Agent background service would not always check that the tray GUI was able to sync at system start.

ControlOne Agent 1.3.13.1
September 29, 2022

September 9, 2022
What's New
- When an update is available, the Agent can now queue a download for the update package, to be performed the next time internet connectivity is detected.

- The Agent now responds more quickly to zone and policy configuration changes made in the management portal.

ControlOne Agent 1.3.6.3
