2.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: March 31, 2025

As of the 2.6 release, MacOS 12 (Monterey) is no longer supported. See System Requirements for more information on supported operating systems.

In the 2.6 release, the CEF browser was updated to the latest version. This can cause additional files to appear in the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Delinea\Connection Manager folder.

For mapped secrets with a proxy enabled, Connection Manager selects the target host from the local secret. In previous versions, the target hosts were selected from the secret on the server

Features

Users can now complete challenges to secrets guarded by MFA via external browser. See Accessing Secrets Guarded by Multi-Factor Authentication for more information.
Connection Manager now offers MacOS users a fullscreen display for a more native experience.
The SSH terminal on MacOS was upgraded for improved performance, usability, and convenience. See Using SSH Session Groups for more information.
