Dear all,

The X2Go Project is proud to announce two new X2Go component releases:

   - x2goserver (3.1.1.0)
   - x2goclient (3.99.2.0)

The new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian,  
    Ubuntu) within the next 24h.

The windows and Mac OS versions of x2goclient will probably be    
available tomorrow, as well. (PING: @Mihai, @Oleksandr). The Windows   
binary may get delay a little longer, as we are currently migrating   
the Windows development machine to another hoster, so we have to ask   
for your patience here.

Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as    
soon as they are provided by the packagers.

The new X2Go Server and Client versions add X2Go Published   
Applications support. This feature was sponsored/contracted by Stefan   
Baur (http://www.baur-itcs.de). The feature allows to export a   
server-side, user-individual as well as system-wide applications menu   
to the X2Go Client. We expect this feature to become higly attractive   
to Linux SaaS providers.

Published Applications support will also be available in the next   
release of PyHoca-GUI, this (and also stabilizing PyHoca-GUI on   
Windows 7) is currently work in progress, sponsored by Dick Kniep   
(http://www.lindix.nl).

light+love,
Mike


x2goserver (3.1.1.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (3.1.1.0):
     - Syslog warnings have to be named ,,warning'' not ,,warn''.
     - Add usage output to x2goserver-run-extensions.
     - Fix syslog output of x2goserver-run-exentions.
     - Fix x2goserver extension calls in x2goruncommand.
     - Add feature name ,,X2GO_PUBLISHED_APPLICATIONS''.
     - Add new command ,,x2gofeaturelist''. This command can be used
       by X2Go client applications to retrieve a list of server-side
       supported X2Go features.
     - Update date and version number in man pages.
     - Fix race condition between session.log of x2goagent and
       x2gocleansessions. The old situation was: in cases that x2goagent
       was not fast enough with appending the new session state to the
       session.log file, the x2gocleansessions script marked the session
       as suspended during the session resuming process.
     - Wait one second for x2goagent to write to session.log before updating
       the session state from 'S' to 'R' in the X2Go session database.
     - Add X2Go server script x2gogetstatus.
     - Add/enable debugging of x2gocleansessions.
     - Silence error messages if the agent's session.log file is not accessible
       (e.g. on NFSv4+Krb5-mounted homes).
     - Improve concurrent database access with session db backend SQLite.
   * Remove /etc/x2go/applications on package removal if it is a
     symlink, keep it, if it is a directory. Remove /etc/x2go
     (if empty after purge) on package purge.
   * Bump Debian packaging standards version to 3.9.3.
   * Use dh_link to symlink X11 directories into /etc/x2go.

   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]
   * New upstream version (3.1.1.0):
     - Support for "published applications".
       Sponsored by Stefan Baur (http://www.baur-itcs.de).
