I would also urge you to move this feature up in the priority list - it's been discussed since as far back as at least 2015 and is now showing up in many competing products - very important for those of us billing for support time and working outside of an expensive comprehensive support platform.

RU reliability

I've been using Remote Utilities to provide support to about 125 PCs across dozens of clients for almost 3 years - so I use it often. It has seemed over the past few months to have become far less reliable than in times past - frequent disconnects, several recent instances where after installation of the Host and despite the fact that it is set to start automatically, it does not - forcing a call to the client to manually run the Start Host app. And the "Update outdated hosts" selection in the viewer seems to be hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes not, sometimes if I run it three or four consecutive times for a given host it will finally work. These irritations have been pretty consistent throughout the last few versions (just updated to 6.8.0.1 tonight). What's the prognosis? I know this sounds like just a general rant rather than specific problems to solve, but I'm not imaging it and I really want to keep liking and using your software.

Whatever happened to the 5.7 upgrade that I remember reading was to be released "about May (2014)"?
