Citrix Receiver for Windows Mobile 11.0

Citrix released a Citrix client for the Windows Mobile Based devices. Supported Windows Mobiles versions are 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5.

Apparently Citrix starts off with version 11, guess they had like 10 internal versions before they released this one. I am an Apple iPhone user myself and I like the Citrix Receiver for iPhone since it’s (full) support for (all) Citrix Access Gateway Editions.

New Citrix ICA Client (11.2)

Citrix Released a new Citrix Client and guess what? They changed the name …

Why Citrix still works with version numbers I cannot understand, why do you need version numbers when your going to change the name anyway?

Now, Citrix has a ‘online’ and a ‘offline’ plug-in, which of course does make sense in regard of having streaming applications which you can use offline and published applications which you use on-line.

Where is the neighborhood?

After installing the Citrix Online Plug-in v11.2 I notice that the Program Neighborhood is no longer present in the client, only the client formerly know as Program Neighborhood Agent seems to be in the package. Citrix has announced this would happen: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121727

It’s no big secret Citrix is wanting to get rid of the Citrix Program Neighborhood Client because of it’s lack of central management. With this action they are forcing customers to move to a Citrix Web Interface (XenApp Services) solution.

The new version is an executable in which you can extract the .MSI files with the /extract parameter.

 

 

You will see the following .MSI files after extraction:

Citrix releases Citrix Presentation Server Client 10.200 for Windows

The download can be found here.

Apparently the update only consist of minor bugs. Still no mentioning of the Citrix streaming client being integrated in the Citrix Presentation Server Client. I guess when they will perform this upgrade they will make the jump to version 11. And (Apparently there have been a version 10.152 and 10.153 (!?). I must have been hibernating .

I’m always a bit careful about mass updating a Citrix ICA client within a production environment. History shows there are always some kind of bugs within every client update. So for a little tip: "Always save a copy of the client version which you know all the bugs of!"
