Citrix Analytics for Performance scans for black hole machines every 15 minutes and sends out an alert to enable administrators to proactively mitigate session failures faced by users due to black hole machines. 

The Citrix Cloud console introduces a more streamlined experience for managing administrators, including an improved user interface and searchable permissions.

Options to open and view support tickets through the Citrix Cloud console are changing. For some customers, the option to view tickets through the console will no longer be available. If you have a support entitlement, you can view and manage support tickets through the My Support site. 

Administrators can configure a timeout for their customer account in the Citrix Cloud console.

The Hypervisor Management service is a new service that works together with the Citrix Hypervisor 8 Cloud release stream to enable you to apply continuous updates to your on-premises Citrix Hypervisor servers and pools from Citrix Cloud.

Insights on overloaded machines are available on the User Experience dashboard.

Previously, using the Session Recording service required a Session Recording 2203 or later deployment. Starting with this release, you can connect Session Recording servers to a 1912 LTSR deployment in the Session Recording service.

Session Recording service is enhanced to support the ability to archive and delete recordings. This can help you manage your recordings in a more effective way.

Until now, Citrix provided a disk image and accompanying script to support deploying the Connector Appliance in cloud services. With this change the Connector Appliance will be available within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) marketplace and deployed directly without the need for a script.
