Release notes

Follow what changes in the Kabeen platform and its agents, version by version.

v1.5.0

Minor

This release makes it easier to deploy the agent discreetly on macOS — no Dock icon, and a menu-bar icon you can hide through managed settings (MDM) — and keeps it running more reliably. On Windows, it also makes installed-software inventory and disk-encryption reporting more dependable.

What's new

  • On macOS, the agent can now be deployed discreetly: no Dock icon, and its menu-bar icon can be hidden through company-managed settings (MDM).

Improvements

  • The agent now stays running continuously: on macOS it restarts automatically if it is stopped, and the manual quit button was removed from the window to prevent accidental interruptions.
  • Workstations are now identified more reliably, preventing duplicate entries in Kabeen.
  • Active-application detection is more accurate, giving a truer measure of application usage.

Bug fixes

  • On Windows, disk-encryption status is reported correctly again.
  • On Windows, the agent keeps collecting the installed-software inventory even when it encounters an unusual Start Menu shortcut (for example, one on a network drive).

v1.4.2

Patch

This release improves the Windows agent's compatibility with corporate security tools and lightens its footprint on workstations.

Improvements

  • The agent uses fewer resources on Windows workstations: diagnostic checks now run far less often.

Bug fixes

  • On Windows, the agent no longer triggers false alerts in security tools (EDR / antivirus) and no longer flashes brief black windows: it now gathers its diagnostic information without launching extra system programs.

v1.4.1

Patch

This release fixes a Windows regression introduced in 1.4.0: the agent no longer started automatically when a user logged on after install. Deployment and update behavior are otherwise unchanged.

Bug fixes

  • On Windows, the agent once again starts automatically when the user logs on after install (a behavior that had regressed in 1.4.0).

v1.4.0

Minor

This release brings a deep modernization of the desktop agent: new technical foundation, faster and more reliable communication with Kabeen, and richer data collected from Windows and macOS workstations.

What's new

  • The agent now reports the active window title alongside the application name, for more accurate usage auto-discovery.
  • New reports sent to Kabeen: workstation diagnostics, installed programs inventory, and running process activity.
  • The operating system is now identified in a more readable form (e.g. “Windows 11 Pro” or “macOS Sequoia”) instead of a generic label.

Improvements

  • Communication between the agent and the Kabeen backend is encrypted via the system's certificate store and compressed, significantly reducing network usage.
  • The agent automatically reconnects to the backend after a network interruption, with gradually spaced retries to avoid flooding the network.
  • The authentication token is now refreshed automatically before expiry, eliminating silent session drops.
  • On Windows, security information collection (antivirus/EDR, firewall, disk encryption) no longer uses PowerShell — detection is faster and less likely to be blocked by security policies.
  • The workstation's unique identifier is now stored persistently on Windows, preventing identity drift after user reconnection.
  • Agent logs are now rotated daily and kept for 14 days before automatic deletion, to limit disk usage.

Bug fixes

  • On macOS, the agent menu in the menu bar no longer closes immediately after a click.
  • The team selection screen no longer triggers an error when opened before its data has finished loading.
  • The “Data collection status” label is now “Connection status”, which is clearer for end users.
  • On Windows, multiple simultaneous user sessions on the same machine no longer prevent the agent from starting.
  • The Windows installer (MSI) is reliable again after the technical foundation update, unblocking update deployments.
