We have released the MD2015 Beta 01 and this is available for testing either on a physical workstation or via VDI.

If you require this installing please contact the N&I Desktop Team with the name of a test workstation where the image can be installed.

Please do not use this image on production workstations and report any errors via Unidesk, making it explicit that this relates to the MD2015 Beta 01 image.

There are some test machines in HBP with the image installed,

The main updates to MD2015 are:

• .NET Framework .4.5.2
• Java 1.8 Update 40 x86 JRE
• Java 1.8 Update 40 x64 JRE
• Symantic Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-In 11.0.1
• Apple QuickTime 7.7.6

The update to Java 1.8 from Java 1.7 is the major update for MD2015 and if you use an application or web page that requires the Java JRE we would strongly recommend you test with this image, and if possible also talk to the supplier regarding support for Java 1.8.

Java 1.7 is out of support from April 2015 so we do intend to use Java 1.8 for 2015/16.
