New Features and Enhancements

This release introduces targeted improvements to the BlueRock Connector ecosystem and the BlueRock Identity Kit, focusing on user experience, deployment flexibility, and simplified installation workflows.

BlueRock Connector Application (for Claude and Codex Desktop IDEs)

• Improved User Interface: The BlueRock Connector Application has been updated with a refined and optimized UI. These UX improvements streamline navigation, making it easier for users to manage secure remote development workspaces, configure SSH connections, and oversee file sharing between local systems and remote containers.

• Claude and Codex Integration: Introduces enhanced integration support for Claude and Codex Desktop IDEs, allowing users to seamlessly connect and utilize their AI coding assistants within secure remote environments.

• Flexible Hosting Support: The application now fully supports managing remote development workspaces on both self-hosted BlueRock host deployments and the managed BlueRock PaaS.

BlueRock Connector Extensions (for VS Code and Cursor)

• Marketplace Availability: To simplify the installation and onboarding process, the BlueRock Connector Extensions are now officially published and available directly from the Microsoft VS Code and Cursor extension marketplaces. Automatic updates are fully supported.

• Client-Side Docker Independence: The BlueRock Connector Extensions for VS Code and Cursor now utilize the standard Remote-SSH extension, completely removing the requirement for any Docker dependency on the client machine.

BlueRock Identity Kit Improvements

• Private Deployment Support: The identity kit now supports fully private deployments, ensuring that the identity enrollment URL is exposed exclusively to internal users.

• Simplified Provisioning: Deploying the BlueRock Identity server is now significantly easier with a new Terraform script, which provides out-of-the-box support for AWS, GCP, and Azure environments.

• Certificate Lifecycle Stability: Applied vital stability fixes addressing edge cases around certificate expiration and the automated refresh workflow.
