Dear all,
the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go
component ,,x2goclient''.
New gains of this version of ,,x2goclient'' are:
o GSSAPI support.
o RPM builds directly from X2Go upstream.
o Make win32 installation of X2Go Client removable.
o Fix pulseaudio cookie file search for newer versions of
pulseaudio.
o Allow ~ operator in path names
o New option --broker-cacertfile, specify custom root-CA for
broker https connections.
o Broker client: fix storage path for customly allowed SSL certs.
o Become more tolerant with white spaces in session profile options.
o New cmdline arg --tray-icon. Allow showing the tray icon when
in hidden mode.
o Notification bubbles for starting / resuming sessions. This feature
will probably be extended in the next X2Go Client version (for the
sake of those who feel this as a regression for their deployed
setups).
Also please welcome our new maintainer for the MS Windows builds of
X2Go Client: Michael 'Mike' DePaulo.

X2Go Client
via sessions file or cmdline parameter.
- Syntax fix of x2goclient.desktop file.
- Test for various file locations of the pulseaudio cookie file.
- Allow patching of qmake-qt4 executable path in Makefile.
- Make qmake-qt4 and lrelease path in Makefile easily replacable (as

with parallel
make.

+ Clear (Fedora package) changelog.
+ Make package build on Fedora/EPEL versions that do not have the
qtbrowserplugin package.
+ For EPEL-5 builds: replace full path to qmake-qt4 and lrelease.
+ Split up package into bin:packages: x2goclient, x2goplugin,
x2goplugin-provider.
+ Make sure lrelease-qt4 is executed (not just lrelease).
