[X2go-Announcement] New X2go releases (as of 2011-10-12)
by Mike Gabriel 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi all, two weeks ago the X2go project developers team has agreed on releasing X2go source projects in shorter release intervals than before. The goal of this is to make new code and X2go features available to the community sooner rather then later and to provide more clarity on what is considered stable and up-to-date and what not. The plan is to release code that - we consider as stable - has been tested by more than one person and - has not been changed in X2go Git for more than 14 days the upcoming Wednesday. As this is the first release shot we will take (after a long time with only irregurlar releases), the changelogs of the individual projects are quite long. Feel free to study these changelog (at the end of this mail) or not. The released source projects of this Wednesday (2011-10-12) are: CLIENT: - x2goclient (3.99.0.1) - pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.1) - python-x2go (0.1.1.18) - x2gothinclient (v1.0.1.3) SERVER: - x2goserver (3.0.99.6) - x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.3) - x2golxdebindings (1.0.1.1) - x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.3) - cups-x2go (3.0.0.3) Stable packages for Debian/Ubuntu are currently building, a Windows and Debian Armel installer/package of x2goclient will follow within the next days. For server-side packages we will also provide lenny backports within the next week. Please take a good look at the changelogs before upgrading your systems, rather test on a non-production server first, if unsure. The X2go team does not give you any warranties if anything fails with your environment (we simply give our best to provide you with stable code).
