pasControl 4.7.5.0 RTM is now generally available.

This release of pasControl focuses on responsiveness and on bringing the Remote Desktop experience up to date with current versions of Windows.

Improved responsiveness
Some users saw the application stop responding for long periods, either while moving around the host tree or while logging off sessions. These intermittent freezes have been fixed. Host status checks now run on a steady interval instead of flooding the application. Disconnect All no longer hangs when several sessions are closed at once.

Modern Remote Desktop control
pasControl now hosts the current Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX control (MsRdpClient9) that ships with Windows, replacing a control that dated back to Windows XP. The control is part of Windows, so the separate Remote Desktop Client download is no longer required.

Live session resize
When you resize the pasControl window, an open Remote Desktop session now resizes to fit without disconnecting and reconnecting. This requires the remote host to be running Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 or later. Older hosts continue to reconnect at the new size as before.

Operating system support
This release requires Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, plus the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012 are no longer supported, and the installer will stop on those systems with an explanation. Previously it would install there and then fail when a session was opened.
