April is over and I’m missing the April fools already… Welcome to my monthly technical recap. We covered a lot of topics in different sections of our product lines, where should I start? Tough decision… I guess the Unified Communication part is the most dynamic part of our Firmware, it overtook easily the Citrix Workspace App release speed and caught most of our attention (please check out the latest 11.05.133!). Do great things and speak about them, let’s do that!
IGEL Software Updates
Official release with A LOT of Unified Communication Updates: 11.05.133
IGEL Cloud Gateway
Official release with a few Bugfixes especially on Online Status of endpoints: 2.03.110

IGEL Community Events
15th of April: IGEL Community Meetup - Geekspeak: In this Meetup, we were delighted to have a lively Geek Speak panel discussion with a few of our IGEL Community VIP members, Barry Brown, David Faynor, David Prows, and René Bigler. Great stuff there, especially private anecdotes about them.
20th of April: IGEL Community Meetup – Usual technical issues explained Part 2: We already had a part one covering some issues and performance hacks, now you are ready for Part 2. There we went deep into how to customize everything in IGEL OS.

It felt more but March was a really tough month with new products in every sector, so I shouldn’t complain. April was a great time, and May will be even better !!
