NOTE:As part of the upcoming ThinOS release, the implementation method of library dependencies for third-party packages is going to change. Third-party packages that are released as part of ThinOS 2208 or earlier, are going to be uninstalled from your ThinOS device when upgrading to the future ThinOS release. All third-party ThinOS packages (Zoom, Cisco Webex, Cisco jVDI, and so on) that are part of ThinOS 2211 are interoperable with the upcoming library dependency changes. It is recommended that you upgrade all third-party packages to the versions that are launched as part of ThinOS 2211.
