Known Issue: Prime MD 840 smartcard: If first container is used, then XEN broker log-on fails.

VNC RFB version upgrade: Since ThinOS 8.0_214, the VNC RFB version has been upgraded to 3.8 for some applications like DameWare. The VNC version is upgraded to 3.8, so it is recommended to use the DameWare software to remotely control the thin clients. Earlier, DameWare would not work, and you would have to use other softwares such as VNC Viewer. The advantage of using DameWare is auto configuration and easy deployment while the limitation is that it requires minimum VNC version 3.8.
