Release Notes, Citrix Files for Windows, v4.6

We are pleased to announce that the Citrix Files for Windows app, v4.6 is available for download.

How to download:

Users who have previously installed Citrix Files for Windows will be auto-prompted to install this version, starting today.
Citrix Files for Windows is available from the Apps page within the Web Application
The application is available from https://www.citrix.com/downloads/sharefile/clients-and-plug-ins/

What's new:

MSI Support - Administrators can now deploy an x64 .msi file of Citrix Files for Windows. Today, our application only supports autoupgrading to an .exe. Since .msi only supports .msi to .msi upgrades, you must deploy the GPO to disable autoupgrades. If you have the .exe version of Citrix Files for Windows installed and you want to use the .msi, you must uninstall the .exe version first. You can download the .msi from Citrix Downloads.
File conflict detection and resolution (preview)
- Users are notified when a newer version of the file they are currently editing is uploaded.
When users save the file, they can choose to overwrite, discard, or save a copy to Citrix Files for Windows.

FYI - we will be releasing a hot fix today, build 4.6.42. The build is currently available on the Citrix Downloads page. The build is also live on the apps page, within the Web Application soon, and we will begin the auto update process this afternoon.

The build fixes the following issues:

Issue where a few users were seeing PPTX files were having a corrupt version uploaded
Exporting documents as PDF fails
Deleting Favorited PCC doesn't delete original copy
Read failures when virtual memory is low (and some corresponding memory usage improvements)
AutoCad temp files being uploaded
Temp files being uploaded if the original file was not created by the current user
Editing documents in the Network Share Connector was failing

Hey Brian - Is there a reason for not using the latest public version as that includes a number of bug fixes found in pervious versions?

We are not fans of the bleeding edge with software releases and like to have internal testing before production release. We have been burned in the 3.X drive mapper releases causing caution and UAT before rolling to masses (our production release is currently 4.5.26) . Thanks in advance!
