Amazon DCV 2026.0 is now available, adding support for RHEL 10, Rocky Linux 10, CentOS 10, and Ubuntu 26.04, enabling Linux hosts and sessions to run on the modern Wayland display server. A new macOS client introduces gamepad support, while Windows and Linux clients have also been updated. Windows hosts now feature URL redirection, launching configured links in the client's local browser during remote sessions, and printer preference redirection allows remote sessions to access client-side printer settings.
