19
+
## March 2021
20
+
21
+
Version 1.4
22
+
23
+
### New features
24
+
25
+
- Added support for private endpoints, which is currently in limited preview.
26
+
- Expanded list of exit codes for azcmagent.
27
+
- Agent configuration parameters can now be read from a file with the `--config` parameter.
28
+
- Collect new instance metadata to determine if Microsoft SQL Server is installed on the server
29
+
30
+
### Fixed
31
+
32
+
Network endpoint checks are now faster.
33
+
34
+
## December 2020
35
+
36
+
Version: 1.3
37
+
38
+
### New features
39
+
40
+
Added support for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
41
+
42
+
### Fixed
43
+
44
+
Resolved issue preventing the Custom Script Extension on Linux from installing successfully.
45
+
46
+
## November 2020
47
+
48
+
Version: 1.2
49
+
50
+
### Fixed
51
+
52
+
Resolved issue where proxy configuration could be lost after upgrade on RPM-based distributions.
53
+
54
+
## October 2020
55
+
56
+
Version: 1.1
57
+
58
+
### Fixed
59
+
60
+
- Fixed proxy script to handle alternate GC daemon unit file location.
61
+
- GuestConfig agent reliability changes.
62
+
- GuestConfig agent support for US Gov Virginia region.
63
+
- GuestConfig agent extension report messages to be more verbose if there is a failure.
64
+
65
+
## September 2020
66
+
67
+
Version: 1.0 (General Availability)
68
+
69
+
### Plan for change
70
+
71
+
- Support for preview agents (all versions older than 1.0) will be removed in a future service update.
72
+
- Removed support for fallback endpoint `.azure-automation.net`. If you have a proxy, you need to allow the endpoint `*.his.arc.azure.com`.
73
+
- If the Connected Machine agent is installed on a virtual machine hosted in Azure, VM extensions can't be installed or modified from the Arc-enabled servers resource. This is to avoid conflicting extension operations being performed from the virtual machine's **Microsoft.Compute** and **Microsoft.HybridCompute** resource. Use the **Microsoft.Compute** resource for the machine for all extension operations.
74
+
- Name of guest configuration process has changed, from *gcd* to *gcad* on Linux, and *gcservice* to *gcarcservice* on Windows.
75
+
76
+
### New features
77
+
78
+
- Added `azcmagent logs` option to collect information for support.
79
+
- Added `azcmagent license` option to display EULA.
80
+
- Added `azcmagent show --json` option to output agent state in easily parseable format.
81
+
- Added flag in `azcmagent show` output to indicate if server is on a virtual machine hosted in Azure.
82
+
- Added `azcmagent disconnect --force-local-only` option to allow reset of local agent state when Azure service cannot be reached.
83
+
- Added `azcmagent connect --cloud` option to support other clouds. In this release, only Azure is supported by service at time of agent release.
84
+
- Agent has been localized into Azure-supported languages.
85
+
86
+
### Fixed
87
+
88
+
- Improvements to connectivity check.
89
+
- Corrected issue with proxy server settings being lost when upgrading agent on Linux.
90
+
- Resolved issues when attempting to install agent on server running Windows Server 2012 R2.
91
+
- Improvements to extension installation reliability
92
+
93
+
## August 2020
94
+
95
+
Version: 0.11
96
+
97
+
- This release previously announced support for Ubuntu 20.04. Because some Azure VM extensions don't support Ubuntu 20.04, support for this version of Ubuntu is being removed.
98
+
99
+
- Reliability improvements for extension deployments.
100
+
101
+
### Known issues
102
+
103
+
If you are using an older version of the Linux agent and it's configured to use a proxy server, you need to reconfigure the proxy server setting after the upgrade. To do this, run `sudo azcmagent_proxy add http://proxyserver.local:83`.
104
+
105
+
## Next steps
106
+
107
+
- Before evaluating or enabling Arc-enabled servers across multiple hybrid machines, review [Connected Machine agent overview](agent-overview.md) to understand requirements, technical details about the agent, and deployment methods.
108
+
109
+
- Review the [Planning and deployment guide](plan-at-scale-deployment.md) to plan for deploying Azure Arc-enabled servers at any scale and implement centralized management and monitoring.
