HTML5 Support for Linux VDI

Having demoed the Linux capability to my existing user base and people are thrilled to have a Linux desktop as I have many users who prefer Linux over Windows.  Currently the primary method of accessing VDI is via a web browser over HTML5.  Is there is time line for when HTML5 will be fully supported for Linux VDI?

On a side note, I was able to access Linux VDI using HTML5 although it didn't support full screen mode.  After I upgraded the "Horizon View HTML Access" software to the latest version now I get "Your Horizon Agent is out of date, please contact your system administrator".  Is there something that I can do (other than reverting my Horizon View HTML Access version) to at least get HTML5 access working again?

Hi Seth9,

Thanks for your feedback. What you see about "Your Horizon Agent is out of date, please contact your system administrator" is a known issue for Horizon for Linux 6.1.1, so far, there is no workaround on it. HTML Access support is on our roadmap and it will be supported later, but I can not commit any timeline here.
