This is the third new release of IBM's Access Client Solutions, ACS, in the past two months. While my ACS does not alert for a new release (Help > Check for Updates), version 1.1.9.16 is mentioned on IBM's ACS webpage.
|
The reason for the new release is to remediate a number of vulnerabilities found in 5250 emulation, and related functions.
There are no new enhancements included.
You will have to download the update from IBM's ACS website, http://ibm.biz/IBMi_ACS (the URL is case sensitive), for yourself.
When using the above link the "Login to IBM" page is opened. Don't worry if you don't have an IBMid, you can create one, for free, in a couple of minutes.
Confirm your agreement with IBM's license.
You will then be presented with the "IBM i Access Client Solutions" page. The download for ACS's latest version is the first download.
Click on the "Download" action. The file will be downloaded onto your computer.
Once you have downloaded the zip file, I recommend you read the "Getting Started" file. This will guide you through the install process depending upon which operating system you use.
I installed the new release without any issues.
I can then confirm that the new release was installed (Help > About):
