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.
http://code.x2go.org/releases/

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).

   * New upstream version (3.99.2.0):
     - Support for "published applications".
       Sponsored by Stefan Baur (http://www.baur-itcs.de).
     - Command line argument "--session-conf=<file>": path to alternative
       session config.
     - Fixed bug "light font colour on light background" by dark colour schema.
     - Make X2Go system tray icon not transparent.
     - Replace text on buttons "Application", "Share folder", "Suspend",
       "Terminate" with icons to fit in dialog window.
     - Support for SVG icons for published applications
     - Set "nofocus" policy for tool buttons.
     - Some improvements when using pgp card.
     - Setting TCP_NODELAY for sockets on reverse tunnel and ssh session.
     - Support for category X2Go-Top to display published applications on top
       of application menu.
     - Exporting PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG when running published applications.

Dear all,

The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases:

   - x2goserver (3.1.0.1)
   - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.12)
   - x2goclient (3.99.1.1)
   - x2gothinclient (1.0.1.6)

All 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).

Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as  
soon as they are provided by the packagers.
http://code.x2go.org/releases/

The new X2Go Server version adds ~/.x2go_logout script support to the  
server-side of X2Go and fixes the x2goserver-fmbindings Makefile.

The NX (redistributed) code tree has received a fix for the main  
Makefile. Also a patch for building on Mac OS X 10.5 has been  
included, plus an X2Go related patch by Oleksandr. On top of that, we  
have fixed installation of libnx-x11 (Debian package) on 64-bit  
systems with multi-arch support (i.e. Debian wheezy+sid).

X2GoClient and X2Go TCE have received some improvements, too. The  
shutdown button is now fully implemented witin X2GoClient, the  
x2gothinshutdown package has been dropped. The TCE also received a new  
and more colourful boot splash.

At this point I would like to explicitly thank Mihai Moldovan for  
investing his time into X2Go Client development on Mac OS X. Mihai has  
contributed some great patches to the X2Go Client code and has also  
taken over the building of the Mac OS X binary of X2Go Client  
(including nx-libs-lite i.e. nxproxy+libxcomp3). The X2Go  
project--with Mihai on board--is now able to offer the X2Go Client for  
current Mac OS X versions again. Thanks for that, Mihai!!!

light+love,
Mike



x2goserver (3.1.0.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low

   * New upstream version (3.1.0.1):
     - Provide infrastructure for on-logout script calls.
     - Do only run session cleanup scripts from within
       x2goruncommand. Dropping them from x2goterminate-session.
     - Be tolerant against x2go_logout script failures.
     - Fix Makefile of x2goserver-fmbindings (thanks to Oliver Burger),
       improve uninstall code in Makefiles.

nx-libs (2:3.5.0.12-0) RELEASE; urgency=low

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, adapt patch from
     packaging. Test for Makefiles in subfolders before calling them.
     Fixes build failure during ,,make distclean'' calls.
   * Provide temporary workaround for installation on Debian 64bit with
     multiarch support (via libnx-x11.postinst and .prerm).
   * Re-introduce proper Xinerama support on non-multiarch systems.

   [ Mihai Moldovan ]
   * Add patch: 051_nxcomp_macos105-fdisset.full+lite.patch, work around
     issue in Mac OS X 10.5 SDK. Pass address of fd_set structs on the stack
     to the FD_ISSET macro/function, instead of the struct itself.
   * Update patch: 005_nxcomp_gcc43.full+lite.patch, fix faulty path to
     nxcomp/Split.cpp.

   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]
   * Add patch: 203_nxagent_disable-rootless-exit.full.patch, add command line
     argument "-norootlessexit". Usually, nxagent exits after 30 seconds if
     running in rootless mode and no X-Clients are present. Starting nxagent
     with option "-norootlessexit" will change this behaviour.
