[X2Go-Dev] Preview of X2Go Client 4.0.4.0 for OS X available

[Mihai Moldovan]

Hi,

I am happy to once again provide a preview version of what is hopefully
to be included in the next upcoming release of X2Go Client.

This version is based upon my bugfix/osx branch, branched off current
master.

Notable differences to the current 4.0.3.2 release:

  o Does not show an error message if a local SSH daemon is not running
    and Remote Printing/File Sharing support has been enabled. Instead,
    an sshd daemon is started explicitly for this session with user
    privileges.
    Configuration and authentication data is contained in ~/.x2go/.ssh
    and ~/.x2go/ssh for this daemon.
  o Improved error messages, including removing wrong ones, when XQuartz
    is not installed on the machine.
  o Completely new, automatic UNIX cleanup helper utility. X2Go Client
    now starts a new process which tracks its parent. Should the main
    process crash for any reason, the cleanup process terminates
    "zombie" processes started by the main process and commits suicide.
    This is important for killing started OpenSSH, PulseAudio servers
    etc.
    This feature is also available on Linux and *BSD.
  o Some non-critical error messages are now not blocking the client
    anymore. This allows for the session to start even though the error
    message pops up and is not confirmed.
  o Version is now exposed when using "Get Info" in Finder.app.


Please report any regressions.


Like last time, two versions are provided: one built on OS X 10.9, the
other one built on OS X 10.6.

Best,



Mihai
