VMware announces the release of ThinApp 4.7.2, a minor dot release with a number of fixes.  However, VMware also says that you shouldn't let the minor dot release numbering fool you.  They claim this updated version offers some major relief for Horizon.

The new release of VMware ThinApp includes:

• A mechanism for updating ThinApp packages in Horizon Application Manager - If a new version of ThinApp packages is placed on the Horizon ThinApp Repository, Horizon can read the new VersionID parameter built into the package and differentiate it from the previous package.  Application entitlements and desktop shortcuts are also preserved.

• A new relink –h command to enable prior ThinApp packages for Horizon - Use relink –h on the executables of a ThinApp package, and ThinApp assigns values to the Horizon parameters for you.

• RemoveSandboxOnStart, a new Package.ini parameter - Allows you to clear the sandbox when the user launches the ThinApp package. An alternative to the functionality of the RemoveSandboxOnExit parameter.

See the VMware ThinApp 4.7.2 Release Notes for details about bug fixes in the release.
