Logging enhancements
Logging enhancements feature is an extension of Better logging I. Retail logging support is being introduced for the Connection Center, Graphics (thinwire), and End User Experience Monitoring (EUEM) modules. This enhancement helps users troubleshoot, and - in cases of complicated issues - facilitate the support team's job by using detailed logs.

Cryptographic update
This feature is an important change to the secure communication protocol. Cipher suites with the prefix TLS_RSA_ do not offer forward secrecy. These cipher suites are now generally deprecated by the industry. However, to support backward compatibility with older versions of XenApp and XenDesktop, Receiver for Linux has an option to enable these cipher suites. For more information, see Configuring deprecated cipher suites.(hyperlink to be added)
Multi-monitor layout persistence
This feature lets you save the position of a desktop session, and then relaunch it in the same position. This feature avoids the overhead of repositioning sessions at every launch. It empowers you to dynamically adjust and save the layout information across endpoints, thus optimizing the end user experience in multi-monitor environments. For more information, see Configuring multi-monitor layout persistence.
SoC SDK update
Customers who use the SoC SDK might be required to update the plug-ins for H.264-based session graphics.
V3 Authentication Protocol
“V3” authentication indicates the third major definition of a logon protocol to NetScaler Gateway that is supported by Citrix Receiver.
V3 is the standard logon protocol for NetScaler Gateway in combination with the “N-Factor” authentication policy framework that makes authentication steps and the associated credential collection forms completely configurable. Native Receivers can support this protocol by building on the Forms logon support already implemented for StoreFront. The web logon page for NetScaler Gateway and Traffic Manager virtual servers also consume this protocol using code shared with Receiver for Linux.
For more information, see SAML Authentication and Knowledge Center article NetScaler Authentication.
