1.17.2¶

The Anbox Cloud team is pleased to announce the release of Anbox Cloud 1.17.2.

Please see Component versions for a list of updated components.

New features & improvements¶

The security patch level is set separately for the vendor and system images. This ensures that the security patch level set by the Android system always takes precedence over the one set by vendor image.
Removed ashmem_linux kernel module to align with mainstream.
Until now, the linux-modules-nvidia-xx package was held even if the use_prebuilt_nvidia_kernel_modules config item default was set to false. This has been changed so that the Linux NVIDIA kernel module package will not be held by default.
Android security updates for April 2023 (see Android Security Bulletin - April 2023).
The Android WebView has been updated to 112.0.5615.48.

AC-1511 Gallery2 app crashed when editing an picture on Android 12 and 13.
AC-1494 The Sessions pane in the Anbox Streaming Stack dashboard showed only the sessions that were in created status.

The known issue in Anbox Cloud 1.17.1 that the security patch level for Android 10 was 2023-03-05 instead of 2023-02-05 has been fixed.
For Android 11, the following two commits from the latest security tag are applied:
- https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/0340c219c094cbd0a07600eac471cfeeaceba60e

Some keystrokes are not picked up when interacting with the container. The keybinding doesn’t work when you launch a session from the dashboard even if the application is built on top of the latest Anbox Cloud image. See LP 2002536 for more information.
