Dear all,
The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go core
component releases:
- x2goserver (3.1.1.6)
- x2goclient (3.99.3.0)
- nx-libs (incl. x2goagent, 3.5.0.16)
All new packages are already available in our stable repositories
(Debian, Ubuntu). The binaries for Windows / Mac OS of X2Go
Client will follow ASAP.
PING@: Mihai (Mac OS build?), Alex (Windows build?)
In the new X2Go Server release several issues got addressed:
o X2Go server now works with i18n ,,Desktop'' folder names (using XDG for
detecting the folder name)
o Prevent x2gocleansessions from leaving zombie processes behind
In x2goclient, several new features have been added. We urgently ask
to report back new issue that may have come up by this massive code
change:
o Native / local RDP client support (Linux only, use it on your
thinclients!!!)
o Encapsulate X2Go-proxied fullscreen RDP session in desktop X2Go sessions,
not rootless anymore. => X2GO logo appears on screen after session
startup of such an RDP session
o Add SSH proxy and HTTP proxy support (HTTP proxy is only usable with a
libssh version not yet released, so this feature won't work for most
of you...)
o Fix creation of desktop shortcut icons for launching individual session
profiles in hidden mode
o Fix broken Xinerama support (got broken when we fixed x2goclient being
able to handle non-bash login sessions)
o new desktop shell in session type configuration: XFCE
o add package: x2goplugin-provider, shows an example plugin configuration
(visit: http://localhost/x2goplugin.html)
o Much work on the HTTP broker client code
o SSH broker added to the client code
o Fix x2goplugin (Failed to resolve hostname issue)
o New translations: Spanish, Danish (Thanks to Ricardo and Christoffer!!!)
o Updated translation files (thanks to the other translators, too!!!)
In nx-libs the tarball installer has been improve. It now installs in
the same way as is done by the Debian packaging intelligence (only
difference, it installs to /usr/local). No configure script for
nx-libs.git, yet, but hopefully we have someone (Ralf) working on it
for some future release of nx-libs.
People packaging nx-libs should thoroughly check their packaging mechanism!!!
light+love,
Mike
