CRACK Windows 8 Release Preview Language Pack X86-x64
Alba Olores
Windows 8 build 8102.101 is the official Developer Preview and Milestone 3 build of Windows 8. It was released to application developers on 13 September 2011, specifically during the first edition of the Microsoft Build conference in Anaheim, California,[1][2] held between 13 and 16 September. A version of the build, which ran on a prototype x86-based Samsung tablet PC, was also distributed to event attendees.
It was only officially released for the x86 and x64 architectures in the English (United States) language, as much of the existing Metro UI resources (including shell-related strings) were deliberately hardcoded into the main Redpill shell library (shsxs.dll), although their respective Simplified Chinese language packs were leaked by Chinese website cnBeta on 20 September 2011, exactly one week after the build's public release.[3] The x64 release was further complimented by a separate variant that contained additional development tools, which includes preview builds of Visual Studio 11 Express, the Windows SDK and Expression Blend 5.
It is the only available build to come with the Redpill features unlocked out-of-box via the official unlock procedure, therefore having the complete Windows 8 user interface enabled by default. It is also the first available build to come with the full set of pre-installed Metro applications.
This is the first publicly released build of Windows 8 to have all new Metro features working out-of-box. While the image that was distributed by Microsoft has the modernized shell enabled, it still utilizes the same internal mechanism of (un)locking Metro features through Redpill as seen in earlier builds. A remnant from the Redpill application is present in this build in the form of a redpill.log file in the System32 directory, giving some insight to the functioning of the official Redpill unlocker.
As this build still utilizes Redpill, setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RPEnabled to 0 will disable the Metro features like the start screen or hot corners, effectively un-redpilling the build and resulting in an experience similar to earlier leaked builds of Windows 8 and by extension Windows 7, after Explorer is restarted. Special applications were created to suffice for this need. Note that setting RPEnabled to 0 will also result in the Microsoft Confidential watermark appearing on the desktop and winver, just like in earlier builds of Windows 8. In cases where Explorer was not restarted after disabling Metro, a hybrid between classic and Metro may occur where part of the Metro interface still shows on top of the classic shell. In other cases, the start screen accent may show garbled.
Because of the similarities in the way of how features are locked between 8102 and some earlier builds, the files dropped by Redpill in build 8102 have been used to unlock Metro features in several older builds, such as builds 8056, 7989, and 7927.
The default accent color has been changed to green, although the ability to actually change the overall accent color has been temporarily disabled. The functionality would be re-enabled in later development builds. New lock screen backgrounds have been introduced, and it is no longer possible to use the small applications view on the Start screen, a feature that would later return in build 8118.
To showcase the abilities of the new user interface, the build includes a set of sample applications that take advantage of various existing Windows Runtime functions. The Windows Store received a new icon, although the application itself would not be enabled until a later update released alongside the official Consumer Preview build.

With this release, a new UI option, the Automatically extend desktop session to external monitors checkbox is available to enable or disable the monitor plug and play feature. For more information, see UI option to manage monitor plug and play feature.
Starting with the 2405 release, you can manage the composite USB device redirection on VDA using the DDC policies. The rules set on the VDA take preferences over the rules set on the client. Client can interpret the value set on VDA.
Based on the values set for Allow existing USB devices to be automatically connected and Allow newly arrived USB devices to be automatically connected policies, the following checkboxes might be enabled or disabled on the Devices option on the Citrix Workspace app - Preferences screen:
Previously, Citrix Workspace app for Linux were using two different GTK windows for store addition and enumeration of the resources. With this release, Citrix Workspace app displays the Welcome page with the option to add the store using the store url, e-mail id, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
After completing the installation, the option to login now or skip login for later is displayed.If the user enters invalid store url, invalid or incomplete e-mail id, or invalid IP adress, an intuitive error message is displayed based on the input.
Previously, when there were multiple passkeys associated with a security key or FIDO2 device, you were not having an option to select an appropriate passkey. By default, the first passkey was used for authentication.
Starting with the 2405 version, you can select an appropriate passkey from the Citrix Workspace app UI. This feature is enabled by default.When there are multiple passkeys, the first one is selected as default. However, you can select the appropriate passkey as follows:
Starting from the 2405 release, support for XenApp Services URLs (also known as PNAgent) for connecting to stores is deprecated. Alternatively, you can connect to stores using the store URL. For reference, see:
Previously, only the active keyboard on the client was synchronized with VDA after the session started in full-screen mode. In this scenario, if you configured Sync only once - when session launches on your Citrix Workspace app, and you had to change to a different keyboard, you have to manually install the keyboard on your remote desktop. This feature is used mostly when the client side keyboard input mode is scancode input mode. Users can select a keyboard layout in a remote session as the active keyboard layout which is synchronized from the client keyboard layout list.
Starting with the 2402 version, all available keyboards on the Linux client are synchronized with VDA after the session starts in full-screen mode. You can select the required keyboard from the list of installed keyboards on the VDA, after the session starts in full-screen mode.
Starting with the 2402 version, Citrix Workspace app supports loss tolerant mode (EDT lossy) for audio redirection. This feature improves the user experience for real-time streaming when users are connecting through networks with high latency and packet loss. By default, this feature is enabled.
Starting with the 2402 version, Citrix Workspace app for Linux supports synchronization of audio volume between the VDA and your audio devices. You can now tune the volume using the VDA audio volume slider and have the same volume on your device and the other way around. This feature is enabled by default.
Starting with the 2402 version, the jitter buffer mechanism is improved. Also, the Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) is added for both Speex and Adaptive audio codec. Speex is enabled when the Audio Quality policy set to medium quality. Adaptive audio codec is selected by default when both VDA and Citrix Workspace app client support Adaptive audio codec. PLC helps to reconstruct the lost data packets.
Previously, using the Credential Insertion SDK, you could authenticate only on on-premises stores. With this release, you can now authenticate users on the Self-Service plug-in using SSO on cloud stores.For more information, see Availability of Credential Insertion SDK for cloud stores
The error messages UI is improved. Previously, the UIDialog library was used to display error messages. From this release, the gtk library is` used in error messages. This enhancement improves the user experience.
The Send Feedback option allows you to inform Citrix about any issues that you might run into while using Citrix Workspace app. You can also send suggestions to help us improve your Citrix Workspace app experience.
With this release, you can specify the minimum and maximum range of UDP ports for Microsoft Teams optimization. If the UDP Port cannot be allocated for any reason, the WebRTC falls back to TCP. This feature helps you to use the minimum ports that you require.
The display resolution and DPI scale values set in the Citrix Workspace app match to the corresponding values in the virtual apps and desktops session. You can set the required scale value in the Linux client, and the scaling of the VDA session is updated automatically.
The multi-touch support feature in Citrix Workspace app for Linux supports multi-touch devices. This feature allows devices to receive input from the touch screen. The input includes touch gestures and interactions using a pen or a stylus device. You can interact with multi-touch screens while using apps or desktops in an HDX session.
When using multiple monitors, if you dock or undock your primary endpoint machine from a docking station, the session extends to the monitors automatically with the updated layout. Also, when you start a session with multiple monitors, the session is extended to those monitors. If you add or remove monitors, the session is adapted to the newly available screens.
Citrix Workspace app for Linux supports ARM64 architecture-based devices. For this feature, we have included binaries that allow to install Citrix Workspace app on ARM64-based devices in the installer package. The prerequisites and system requirements remain the same as installing the app on other architectures.
