Dear all,

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

   - x2goserver (3.1.1.4)
   - cups-x2go (3.0.0.4)
   - x2goplasmabindings (with plasma-widget-x2go, 3.0.1.4)
   - python-x2go (0.2.0.10)

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

In the past months we skipped some minor announcements of release that  
were related to inclusion of some X2Go components in Debian (being  
available wheezy, partly in jessie).

In the new X2Go Server release several issues got addressed:

  o Audio support (pulseaudio) with X2Go-proxied RDP sessions
  o Media support (client-side shared folders) for X2Go-proxied RDP sessions
  o XDCMP session type fixed
  o Fix KWin crashes on Kubuntu 12.04 (sponsored by Rohloff AG, thanks  
Mirco!!!)
  o Fix Xinerama with x2goserver-xsession package installed (also:  
thanks Mirco)

In cups-x2go Helmer Teles provided us with a patch that now allows to  
specify the number of copies in a print job. Thanks to Helmer for that.

In Python X2Go we fixed these issues:

  o Colour depth issues on Windows Clients (16 vs 17 bit)
  o Keyboard focus in X2Go-proxied RDP session against Windows 7 / 2008
  o Fix session crashes due to left over bash-like commands
  o Prepare for DirectRDP session options...

A Windows version of PyHoca-GUI with latest Python X2Go in it will be  
deferred till the release of PyHoca-GUI 0.2.0.5 (due in a couple of  
weeks, I guess).

In the Plasma widget for X2Go we adapted the code to become aware of  
the modified mount points for SSHfs shares (introduced with X2Go  
Server 3.1.1.2).

light+love,
Mike


x2goserver (3.1.1.4-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Jan Engelhardt ]
   * New upstream version (3.1.1.4):
     - Add -pie as linker flag. Fixes non-position-independent-executable
       (x2gosqlitewrapper.c). The executable is now completely position
       independent.

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (3.1.1.4):
     - Fix x2gosessionlimit script.
     - Wrap padsp around rdesktop calls if pulse is used as audio protocol.
     - Add option ,,-r sound:local'' to rdesktop calls if pulse is enabled.
     - Proxy X2Go client-side shares into remote desktop session.
     - For applications inside of a session, use NX's Xrandr library instead
       of Xorg's Xrandr library (partially closes #28).
     - Make sure when launching desktop session through the Xsession mechanism
       that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable stays intact. Closes #29.
     - Only extend LD_LIBRARY_PATH by Xrandr extension for KDE. Breaks GNOME.
   * /debian/control:
     + Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers  
<x2go-dev at lists.berlios.de>.
     + Depend on nx-libs (>=3.5.0.15-0~) which has the Xrandr symlinks folder.
     + Add rdesktop and pulseaudio-utils to Suggests.
     + Priority: optional.

   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]
   * New upstream version (3.1.1.4):
     - Remove "-nolisten tcp" option with XDMCP sessions.

cups-x2go (3.0.0.4-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (3.0.0.4):
     - Add more debug messages.
     - Use proper project name where appropriate and possible (,,X2Go'').
   * Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev at lists.berlios.de>.

   [ Helmer Teles ]
   * New upstream version (3.0.0.4):

python-x2go (0.2.0.10-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version (0.2.0.10):
     - Use session type 'D' for X2Go-proxied RDP session when run in
       fullscreen mode. Fixes upstream issue #27.
     - Indentation fix in defaults.py.
     - Make Python X2Go aware of DirectRDP settings in session profiles.
     - Ignore DirectRDP options in session profile config for now.
     - Remove bashism from X2Go server command calls. Caused servers
       with no installed x2goserver-xsession package to crash desktop
       sessions (observed with KDE4 on Ubuntu 12.04).
     - Handle 16bit and 17bit colour depth (Windows clients) as
       equal when resuming sessions.
   * Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev at lists.berlios.de>.
