Release 2.49 introduces several quality improvements, including the following:
- You can now create new profiles by using the Profile > New profile... menu item.
- When IAP Desktop can't connect to a Windows VM, the error message now includes more detailed information.
The release also contains fixes for the following issues:
- Sign-in: On some Windows machines, signing in to IAP Desktop failed with "access denied" or "connection refused" errors after applying the latest Windows updates. (#1696)
- Project Explorer: Loading the list of projects could fail when IAP Desktop wasn't able to determine the status of one or more VM instances. (433036592)

Release 2.48 introduces several quality improvements and fixes, including the following:
- SSH bracketed pasting: When pasting text to a terminal, IAP Desktop now uses bracketed pasting only if the text spans multiple lines. This fixes an issue where bracketed pasting broke the ability to paste passwords to a sudo password prompt.
- More resilient handling of metadata-based SSH keys: When uploading an SSH public key to the metadata of a Google Cloud project that contains invalid or malformed keys, IAP Desktop now ignores those keys and appends your new key. Previously, IAP Desktop validated existing keys, which could cause the key upload to fail.
- Remote Desktop: When connecting to the Remote Desktop of a VM fails, IAP Desktop now provides more detailed error information.

Release 2.47 introduces serveral improvements and fixes, including the following:
- OS Login for workforce identity users: This version restores the ability for workforce identity users to use OS Login. This feature was available before, but recently broke due to a breaking change in the way the OS Login v1beta API supports certificate signing.
- Hung SQL Server or HTTP connections: SQL Server or HTTP connections, when tunneled using IAP Desktop, could hang when attempting to perform larger downloads. (#1644)
- Unintended re-opening of RDP sessions: Selecting a VM in the Project Explorer could, under certain circumstances re-open a previously closed remote desktop session. (418214603)

Release 2.46 introduces a number of incremental improvements:
- Terminal copy/paste on click: You can now copy terminal output by selecting text and left-clicking the terminal. Similarly, you can use a right-click to copy the selected text and immediately paste it. The behavior is similar to what you might be used to from the Windows-builtin terminal.
- Terminal scrolling: You can now use Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown to scroll the terminal. These new shortcuts are active by default, but you can disable them under Tools > Options > Terminal. (#1611)
- Using microphones over RDP: When you connect to a Windows VM, you can now share your local microphone so that you can use it within the RDP session. Microphone sharing is disabled by default and you can enable it in the VM's connection settings.
In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and component updates.

Release 2.45 introduces a number of improvements, mostly related to SSH:
- Bracketed pasting: When you paste clipboard content to the terminal, IAP Desktop now uses bracketed pasting again. Bracketed pasting helps maintain formatting when you copy code blocks, and lets you paste multi-line commands to a shell without immediately executing them. Bracketed pasting is on by default, but you can turn it off under Tools > Options > Terminal.
- Updated terminal: The terminal is now based on Windows Terminal 1.21.2361, which resolves several clipboard-related issues.
- SFTP downloading: Downloading large files over SFTP (by copy/paste or drag/drop) is now more efficient and uses a clipboard format (TYMED_ISTREAM) that doesn't require the entire file to be buffered in memory.
- Project Explorer search: When you enter a search term in the search box, the window now perform a case-insensitive search.
In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes for the following issues:
- Right-clicking a deleted project in the Project Explorer window sometimes showed the wrong context menu, making it difficult to unload the project.
- Running a command that produces large quantities of output sometimes caused the SSH terminal to hang.
- Hitting Ctrl+Alt+K early during application startup could cause the Authorized Keys window to become unfuntional.

Release 2.44 introduces a number of SSH improvements:
- New terminal: The SSH terminal is now based on the same component that powers the Windows Terminal. As a result of this change, the terminal now supports a range of additional xterm features, including mouse input and support for 256 colors.
- Browse and transfer files: When you're connected to a Linux VM, you can now browse the VM's file system and transfer files by selecting Session > Transfer files. You can transfer files by using copy and paste or drag and drop in the same way you're used to from Windows File Explorer.
- Group policies for SFTP: You can now use a group policy to control whether users in your organization are allowed to transfer files by using SFTP.
The release also includes these new features:
- Connect to PostgreSQL: You can now let IAP Desktop connect to PostgreSQL and launch the psql command line client for you.
In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes, including:
- Automatic Logons are now automatically disabled if your local computer is subject to the Do not allow passwords to be saved group policy.
- Metadata-based SSH keys that included excess whitespace could cause authentication to fail.
- Under certain circumstances, the installer didn't detect the Windows version correctly and refused to execute. #1580.
A note to vim users: Because the SSH terminal now supports mouse input, coping text from vim might no longer work as before. To copy text from vim, use the set mouse=r option, or hold the Shift key while coping text.
Update 01/07/2025: Updated packages to fix an issue with the Automated logons setting that caused IAP Desktop to ignore existing saved passwords.

- Workforce identity: IAP Desktop now supports workforce identity federation as an alternative way to sign in to IAP Desktop.
- Easier reauthentication: When your session expires, IAP Desktop no longer requires you to grant consent for multiple OAuth scopes, making it quicker and easier to reauthenticate.
- Private service connect: You can now let IAP Desktop connect to Google Cloud APIs through Private Service Connect (PSC).
You can use PSC to connect from corporate networks that have Cloud VPN/Interconnect access to Google Cloud, but might otherwise have limited internet access. #1028.
- SSH rsa-sha2-512 and rsa-sha2-256 authentication: When you configure IAP Desktop to use an RSA key for SSH public key authentication, the application now defaults to using rsa-sha2-512 or rsa-sha2-256 instead of the deprecated rsa-ssh algorithm.
- Port forwarding: You can now create custom tunnels by right-clicking a VM and selecting Connect client application > Forward local port.
Port forwarding is an alternative to registering a custom client application and doesn't require any extra configuration.
On multi-user systems such as RDS farms, IAP Desktop only allows applications from the same session to connect. #936
- SQL Server Management Studio: When you connect to a VM using SSMS, Object Explorer now shows the name of the VM you're connected to. #1071.
- Data sharing: To help us improve and prioritize features, you can now optionally allow IAP Desktop to collect and share usage data.
Data sharing is disabled by default for all users.
- VPC-SC: When accessing a VM failes because of a VPC service control policy, the error message now includes a troubleshooting ID and a link to the troubleshooting tool.
- Updated group policy templates: You can now use Active Directorg group policies to manage Private Service Connect and and workforce identity federation settings across endpoints.
- Secure Cloud Console: When you've enabled BeyondCorp certificate-based access, all links to the Cloud Console now use the secure Cloud Console (console-secure.cloud.google.com).
- Google Cloud is changing the default session length to 16 hours for existing Google Cloud customers.
This change affects IAP Desktop and as a result, you might soon have to re-authenticate more often.
- Workforce identity federation is subject to certain limitations and currently doesn't support OS Login.
- Future releases of IAP Desktop will require .
NET 4.7 or later (instead of .NET 4.6.2). This change is expected to have minimal impact.
- Future releases of IAP Desktop might only be made available for 64-bit versions of Windows.

- SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): You can launch SSMS and let it authenticate and connect to SQL Server using either Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication.
You can use Windows authentication even if your workstation is not domain-joined or if it's joined to a different domain than your SQL Server instance.
- MySQL Shell: You can launch the MySQL command-line client to connect to MySQL servers.
- Chrome: You can launch Chrome to connect to management portals or other websites that are only available inside your VPC on port 80 or 8080.
- Custom applications: You can extend the feature by registering your own applications.
- Multiple RDP sessions to same VM: You can now create multiple sessions to the same Windows VM by right-clicking a VM in the Project Explorer window and selecting Connect as user.
- Enhanced Properties window The Properties Window now shows additional details about a VM's security settings
- Several improvements to the dark theme
- A fix for an issue that caused the options dialog to fail when the connection limit was set to lower-than default value (283811054)
- IAP Desktop now closes unused tunnels as soon as they're not used anymore, freeing up system resources
- Google Cloud is changing the default session length to 16 hours for existing Google Cloud customers.
