The rendering code used to display the list of all managed devices in a user’s account has been significantly improved so that accounts that manage a large number of devices will see significant speed up when browsing thru devices.


On these devices, when using a browser that supports this, the MeshCentral site will appear crisper and better looking making for a better user experience. Devices that support this include all latest Apple devices with Retina Displays. The latest MeshCentral provides many high-resolution icons and images that are optionally loaded and used by devices that have high resolution displays. Many devices now have high DPI displays where the operating system must scale up many images from the web. It seems that with Big Sur, you can now grant remote access permissions to the MeshAgent once when installing the agent and the permissions will remain even after an agent update. The agent works as expected including remote desktop, terminal and file management. In addition to supporting the latest processors, MeshCentral was also tested on Apple’s latest operating system, Big Sur. The result is the best possible performance regardless of the Apple platform you are using. When the agent needs to be updated, the platform specific compressed binary is sent to the device so to minimize server traffic. For initial installation, the universal binary is used. The latest MeshCentral server includes the Intel x86, Apple Silicon and Universal binaries and use all 3 depending on the usage. Then, both binaries are combined to create a universal binary that can run on both platforms. The MeshAgent is compiled with both compilers to create two binaries. With the arrival of Apple’s latest devices, MeshCentral now has native support for both Intel x86 and Apple Silicon. Native support for both Intel x86 and Apple Silicon.In addition, there is now support for high DPI displays and more. This allows MeshCentral to run at it’s best on both platforms. Bryan successfully modified and compiled the latest MeshAgent with both compilers along with the creation of a macOS universal binary that includes both binaries. MeshCentral now has native support for both Intel x86 and Apple Silicon. Apple released its latest operating system, Big Sur along with a new set of devices based on Apple Silicon.
