Spoiler: Changes v15.4.4445

15.4.4445
New features:

• Control TeamViewer Pilot usage and access rights throughout your organization using rules you configure within the Management Console.
• The possibility to send key combinations such as [Alt]+[Tab] or [Windows]+[R] is now available!
  When connecting from Linux to Windows, it's now possible to transmit various key combinations: switching the applications on Windows by using [Alt]+[Tab], opening the run command with [Windows]+[R], and so on.
• The MSI installer now offers the possibility to import the *.tvopt format which is generated when exporting options from a TeamViewer client. The import of a '.reg file is still possible.
• You can no longer start a direct file transfer to a remote system with restricted folder permissions (like macOS 10.15) without allowing full disk access in advance to prevent the client from becoming unresponsive. Within the session you need at least the possibility to view and control the remote screen on restricted systems.
• You can now also copy screenshots within a session from the Snip & Sketch tool and paste them on the other side of the connection.
• A new MSI parameter called "SETTINGSFILE" has been introduced, which allows to specify a path to a *.tvopt option file. This means that the option file no longer has to be located next to the MSI installer as it used to be when using IMPORTREGFILE. This new parameter replaces IMPORTREGFILE.
• Android devices that are not supported by ARCore can now connect to an augmented reality session. The session will run in compatibility mode (2D).
• You can now record augmented reality sessions and save them for documentation and training.
• You can now see the fingerprint of your partner's device in the log files.

Improvements:

• Usability improvement for the status bar: the connection status is now also displayed at the bottom of the Computers & Contacts list.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a copy & paste bug that prevented copying an image from a Windows computer and pasting it to a macOS or Linux computer.
• Fixed a bug where a file transfer would sometimes get stuck if a job within the queue was aborted.
• Fixed a bug that caused some tabs to be missing from the TeamViewer window after start.
• Fixed a bug that caused a black screen after switching to a second monitor, until the mouse was moved.

Spoiler: Changes v15.5.3

15.5.3
New features:

• New feature added: you can now search for messages in chat rooms.
• Possibility to set several Conditional Access Servers to provide fallback options.
• It is now possible to start apps remotely through the "Apps" tab for connections to Android devices.
• For supporters, it's now possible to invite someone to a TeamViewer Pilot session via SMS.

Improvements:

• Re-enabled direct printing in a connection from macOS to Windows 10: If a Windows 10 version higher than 1903 is running and the new printer driver is installed, you can once again directly print on a macOS without using an XPS Viewer via TeamViewer Printing.
• The fingerprint of a device is shown in the "About TeamViewer" dialog.
• The fingerprint of the partner's device is shown in the "Connection Info" dialog during a session.
  
• Improved screen content protection of remote device with active Black Screen: The device is now automatically locked when Black Screen gets deactivated with Ctrl-Alt-Del

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug for Copy & Paste which, in some cases, resulted in an unexpected file ending when copying an image via "Copy image" on the remote side and switching to paste into an application on the local side.
• Fixed a bug where the option to connect using prompt for confirmation would not appear.
