NoMachine makes available updated packages for version 8 to fix some issues affecting the previous releases, including errors during the installation of Windows packages at 64bit and WebRTC sessions not working on Chrome.

This version provides also some improvements:

Audio support on PipeWire sound-based systems
Initial implementation for supporting audio based on PipeWire sound server in physical desktop sessions.

Extending user groups
The use of user groups, either system or NoMachine groups, is now available in all commercial products, including NoMachine Enterprise Desktop and NoMachine Workstation.

Updates to cluster commands
The 'nxserver --clusterupdate' command is renamed into 'nxserver --clusteredit' to better fit naming convention. This command is now able to synchronize also changes to nxhtd settings between the master and the slave servers.

Unified logs for the webserver, nxhtd
Since this version, the nxhtd-error.log and nxhtd-access.log file are unified in a unique file, nxhtd.log.

Kerberos ticket re-delegation for password authentication and the remote nodes
For connections by NX protocol, Kerberos tickets are now updated (redelegated) inside the session also when virtual desktops run on remote nodes. Re-delegation works also when the ticket is obtained by pam_krb5 module during password authentication.

The complete list of fixes included in this 8.2.3 release are:

Important Notice

In NoMachine version 8, UPnP/NAT-PMP is disabled by default in the Free Edition. To get access to your computer over the internet, NoMachine's UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping must be enabled by hand ('Server settings -> Ports' -> Select the service and click on Configure); or alternatively, your router can be configured with the appropriate port-forwarding rule. When port-mapping/port-forwarding is enabled, remote NoMachine connections, including connection requests from guests via the new Guest Desktop Sharing feature will be possible.
