Release Notes: Mammoth Enterprise Browser 4.7.7
Release Date: March 24, 2025
This release introduces new features, enhancements, and updates designed to enhance user experience and improve administrative efficiency, specifically within the Management Cloud portion of the product. Please note that the Enterprise Browser software remains unchanged.
New Features
Service Edge Installation Packages for Restricted or Logically Air-Gapped Environments
We have introduced self-contained installation packages for our Service Edge, enabling deployment in tightly controlled network environments without requiring internet access during installation. Two installation options are available:
1. Pre-Installed Ubuntu Linux VM Template (OVA Format)
- A ready-to-deploy OVA template that is based on Ubuntu Linux with all necessary software pre-installed.
- To further streamline deployment, a Base64-encoded bootstrap configuration is provided via the management portal, allowing direct use during the OVA template deployment.
2. Gzip Bundle for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- A compressed installation package to install the Service Edge as a Quadlet or Systemd based service, simplifying installation on RHEL environments.
These new installation options significantly reduce setup complexity for administrators deploying our Service Edge in highly restricted environments.
Syslog Forwarding Enhancement
- Previously, only block logs were forwarded to the syslog server.
- With this update, all access logs are now forwarded, greatly enhancing administrators’ ability to monitor user activities and maintain security oversight.
Preview Office and PDF Files in File Share
- A file preview feature has been added to the file browser.
- Access control is enforced through policy settings, just like other user activities.
- Users can preview documents without downloading them, eliminating the need for:
- Office desktop software installations.
- Storing sensitive files locally.
- Manual cleanup of downloaded files.
This feature provides both security and productivity benefits, requiring only the Mammoth Enterprise Browser for document preview.
