The upcoming release for the Citrix Access Gateway version 4.5.8 has had some fixes and visual improvements added to it. There are no new features that I am aware of that have been added, it appears to be a maintenance build with some unification of the graphics for the Citrix Delivery Center. I for one love the new look, and that the different interfaces are gaining a uniform look and feel, look below and see for yourself:

Here is a screenshot of the Citrix XenApp welcome screen
Here is a screenshot of the Citrix XenApp applications screen

We will cover more of the changes and details in version 4.5.8 as the imminent release date approaches, we be will releasing more information about the changes in it. I hope you like the visual changes as much as I do, and I would love to hear your thoughs about them, good or bad.

If their's 2 things I know it's the complaints of customers and users. If the user interface changes the single cell organisms wont understand what has occured even if none of the functionality has changed
unlike wacko jacko claims, it very much matters whether it's black or white

As far as interface changes goes, this is the way of the computing industry, we get new software, operating systems, hardware, etc.
The chages are more of a grahpical nature, and the placement of things is pretty much the same, its just been made to look like all the other webstyle interfaces, colors and such. So this should really be a "painless" change. back to the old style, the one thing I just thought of was that one can customize the interface, which could mean they could make it look like the old, if they really wanted to.
Thanks

This upgrade is also for Access Gateway Enterprise Edition. The screens should be similar but it is worth noting that it is not just Advanced Edition that gets this upgrade.

Will 4.5.8 have the ability to suppress client updates? The requirement for a client update with each server upgrade has been a huge problem for us since we must deploy all clients.

However this isnt actually and ideal thing or really recommended,
for some very simple reasons about security and fixes on both ends
For example say the client wasnt upgraded and say there was a fix in the newer client that say resolved some DNS hotfix issue, would you really want to leave a client and your company at risk?
Another example would be say one did a major upgrade from 4.x to 5.x
it might not even be possible to use an older client

Will we be abel to get this new eye candy interface also or is this new look only apply to the 7000/9000/10000 models ??

If the update is only to the server running Advanced Access Control then cool. I just have been developing a concern as of late that the product we purchased is no longer being support which would really suck cause i have only had it a year or two and thats not a very good life cycle. Anyways let me know cause i was hoping to hear that there would be a firmware upgrade for the 2000 appliance as well as a software upgrade for the Access Gateway Advanced. Thanks again Rich for all of the input.

The 4.5.8 firmware upgrade is for the Citrix Access Gateway 2000 appliance
Im hesitant to speak on whether the 2000 is or is not going to be supported in the future other than to say that I cant wait for the 5.0 release for the appliance =)
and thank you for the input, as its the feedback that helps drive things at citrix in its own special way
