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.
