New in App Layering 2309, it is now possible to assign apps elastically to users logging into images running a different OS from the one used to create the app layer. OS layer switching allows you even more flexibility when delivering applications to only the users or groups who require them.  

New in App Layering 2309, the XenServer platform connector has a brand-new UI experience and offload compositing support.

This enhancement adds support for preparing and publishing images to XenServer, from other cloud or on-prem environments.
