New Features Included with IntelR AMT 7.0 SDK:

Host-Based Setup and Configuration
• This key Intel® AMT 7.0 platform feature is fully documented and includes samples, use cases and snippets (see below) that demonstrate the feature.
• The SDK also supports the related User Consent feature with samples, a GUI-based tool, and extensive documentation.

Snippets Added to Intel AMT Feature Use Cases
• Nearly 300 snippets – short samples of code that demonstrate a step or sequence of steps in a use case – were added to the SDK documentation.
• The snippets are written using PowerShell 2.0. They depend on a framework called the IntelvProModule located at <SDK_root>\Windows\Common\WS-Management\Scripting Framework.
• You can exercise a snippet opposite a configured Intel AMT platform by copying the snippet into a supplied template.
• The snippets support backward compatibility and demonstrate, where necessary, the difference between Intel AMT versions, back to Release 3.2. They were validated against Releases 3.2, 4, 5, 5.1, 6, 6.1 and 7.0.

Change From Traversal to Selectors Using a Key
• The Use Case flows now, in most cases, locate the instance of a class using one or more key properties, rather than starting with an instance of CIM_ComputerSystem and traversing associations to locate the pertinent object. The snippets use this approach in their implementation.

KVM
• Update to the RealVNC Library 
1. A new version of the RealVNC library was added to the SDK. This solves some open issues and makes several protocol features available for Intel AMT applications.
2. The SDK documentation includes a spreadsheet showing the features in the RealVNC library that Intel AMT supports.
• The samples and library support screen rotation.
• The Digest authentication mechanism was upgraded.
• The KVM library error reporting was improved.

Redirection Library
• The Windows Redirection library now supports DVDs. The DVD feature is compatible with Intel AMT Releases 7.0 and later releases. The library is compatible with all versions of Intel AMT.
• The library supports the link preference feature, including an option for legacy behavior, used with earlier releases that do not support link preference.
• The Digest authentication mechanism was upgraded.

Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway, also known as the Management Presence Server (MPS)
• The SDK contains a new version of the MPS and, for the first time, includes the MPS source code.
• Documentation of the Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway reflects the latest MPS API.
• A new sample, the MPSInterFaceClient, demonstrates the API.

Other Documentation Changes
• The Setup and Configuration documentation was reorganized. 
• Documentation for Local Call for Help (also known as Client Initiated Local Access, or CILA) was added to the Remote Access Configuration section.
• The documentation describes the Digest Master Password concept, with snippets. It demonstrates how to implement a master password that is used to create a unique admin password for each Intel AMT platform.
• The documentation provides a flow that shows how to use the Release 7.0 certificate enrollment feature, used to create a server certificate request for Intel AMT that does not expose the private key. 
• The documentation contains a list of deprecated and deleted features across all versions.

Deprecated EOI (SOAP) Samples Moved
• The SOAP samples, documentation, Storage library, Crypt32Api and most associated files were moved to a ZIP archive in the SDK root directory.
• The SDK general documentation was modified to reflect this change. Most references to SOAP commands were removed.
• Certain samples that use SOAP (the sample setup and configuration application, the MPS notification sample, the redirection GUI sample and the AMTRedirection sample) remain in their respective directories.
• The WSDLs and other common files remain in place in support of these samples.

Other Updates
• The SDK includes an Event ID-to-string library that supports notifications from the event log. Go to <SDK_Root>\DOCS\Scripts\Alert Messages to see the XML file and a sample script.
• The Access Monitor sample now supports the new bulk load of audit log event definitions.
• The SDK recognizes that Intel AMT Release 7.0 can support a wireless interface on a desktop platform.
• The USBFile sample supports host-based setup and also a "scramble" mode.
• The Setup and Configuration Application, the MPS Notification sample, and the Audit Log sample have been updated to use OpenSSL version 1.0.0.
