v10.5 [Jun 13, 2014]
1. User Management
Single Sign On
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based open standard data format that enables
you to access a defined set of Cisco services seamlessly after verifying credentials with an Identity
Provider. You enable SAML SSO in Cisco WebEx Messenger Services, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, or Cisco Unity Connection. It is deployed in the Jabber client using service discovery.
Reset Jabber
- Resetting Jabber gives users the ability to reset Jabber to the originally-installed state.
Telemetrics
- In this release, the client can be enabled to help improve your Cisco Jabber experience by sending
anonymous data to Cisco on elements such as call analytics and call quality.
2. Calling Features
Personal Ringtone
- Users can select a ringtone for incoming calls from a menu of distinctive ringtones for their client in
the Options menu, under Sounds and Alerts.
Hunt Groups
- Hunt Groups enable incoming calls to be directed to a group of users. The call route is based on a
number of factors, including first available , longest Idle, broadcast hunting and circular hunting. You
can use Cisco Jabber and deskphones to answer hunt group calls.
Call Pickup
- Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls from their own group. Group Call Pickup and
Directed Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls to another group or individual, respectively.
You can use Cisco Jabber and deskphones to answer call pickup calls.
Video Call Quality
- Improvements in video image edge interpolation deliver smoother and sharper video calling for users
in call scenarios.
Audio Call Quality
- The G.722 wideband audio codec is now introduced as the default codec for calls to Cisco IP deskphones
and other portfolio endpoints, which delivers a superior call experience to the user. You can provision
other audio codec selection preferences in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, if required.
Plantronics Call Control
- In addition to Jabra and Logitech headsets, users can now use Plantronics accessories to control their
calls on Cisco Jabber to adjust call volume, answer and end phone calls, and mute.
Self-view
- Users can move and resize the self-view window on video calls.
3. IM and Presence
Screen Sharing
- In addition to the video screen share (BFCP) feature that is available to video-enabled clients when on
a call, users can now screen share directly from an IM conversation when video share is not provisioned
or available. Users can share their screens from IM with up to five other Cisco Jabber for Windows 10.5 users in a
group chat.
Remote Desktop Control
- When screen sharing from an IM, a user can request permission to remotely control the desktop of the
user who is sharing the screen. Either user can revoke the remote desktop control at anytime. Remote
desktop control is not currently supported while on the Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.
IM Notifications
- This release offers incoming chat message alerts, new chat alert sound and IM badges in the
Windows taskbar. In addition to your Cisco Jabber client icon flashing on your Windows taskbar, users
also receive notifications that pop up on their screens when they have a new message. IM notifications
are displayed for chats, group chats, and in persistent chat rooms.
IM Do Not Disturb
- The client now offers Do Not Disturb in the client to suppress IM notifications. Only notifications
are suppressed and not the messages. Users can configure the notifications in the Options menu.
Spellcheck (Windows 8)
- Spellcheck is available for instant messaging chats on Cisco Jabber clients running on Windows 8
operating system. Language support is dependent on those supported by Windows 8. Spellcheck is
active only for the language defined for your operating system, not the language defined for your Jabber
client.
Added Emoticons
- The selection of emoticons has been increased for users in their chat conversations. The existing
emoticons have also been redesigned for improved user experience.
