by Mike Gabriel 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

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 NEW: Session profile subfolders (sponsored by EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany). Thanks for that feature sponsoring!!! o Support for several new desktops: Cinnamon, Trinity, OpenBOX, IceWM. o Various fixes around bundling X2Go Client for MS Windows (thanks to Michael DePaulo for his meticulous work on the MS Windows version of X2Go Client!!!) o Several i18n updates, one new language: Estonian. Thanks to the great work of our i18n team!!! o Make export session profile parameter work when connected to an X2Go Session Broker. (Thanks to Ming Song for providing the initial patch draft!!!). o x2goclient.spec (RPM): Build on openSUSE systems. (Also sponsored by EUMETSAT). o Allow setting the clipboard mode (bidirectional, server->client, client ->server). X2Go Component: x2goclient Version: 4.0.3.0 Status: RELEASE Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:38:56 +0200 Fixes these bug report(s): 108 159 253 258 336 474 522 525 566 568 571 580 587 590 597 603 607 608 609 612 636 Changes: x2goclient (4.0.3.0) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream release (4.0.3.0): - Disallow server-side users to override X2Go Server commands via ~/bin (or similar). (Fixes: #336). - Avoid unitialised variables on early calls of ONMainWindow::closeEvent() or ONMainWindow::closeClient(). (Fixes: #253). - Update translation files. Add empty Portuguese translation. Update qt_<lang>.qm files from Debian unstable as of today. - Update German translation file (after session folder feature got added). - Makefile.man2html: Test if man2html exists. If not, don't fail. - Honor exports (client-side shared folders) from broker session profiles. Thanks to Ming Song for providing a patch for this (Fixes: 612). * debian/control: + Add B-D: apache2-dev. On squeeze / lucid builds, this is a superfluous B-D, but for later Debian/Ubuntu versions, this smoothes the installation of the x2goplugin-provide bin:package. + Update B-D: apache2-dev | libc6-dev. The apache2-dev package does not exist on all Debian/Ubuntu versions. * x2goclient.spec: + Adapt to building for openSUSE/SLES. + openSUSE: Make Qt4 Linguist tools available for Makefile. + Upgrade versioned BR for libssh-devel (0.6.3 or patched 0.5.5). + The libqt4-linguist split off happened in openSUSE 13.1. + Add x2goclient-rpmlintrc file. + In openSUSE, it is openldap2-devel, in Fedora/RHEL it is openldap-devel. + In openSUSE, openssh is openssh (not openssh-clients / openssh-server). . [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream release (4.0.3.0): - Fix running x2goclient without arguments on Windows. (Fixes: #522). - Save proxy output in $HOME/S-$SESSION-ID/session.log if debugging is enabled. - Fork x2goclient on windows and terminate child processes if X2Go Client crashed. (Fixes: #159). - Add "clipboard" parameter to session profile and to command line options. (Fixes: #258). - Replace qCritical() with printError() by argument parsing. - Update translation files. - Update russian translation. - Update string "&Clipboard Mode" and translate in russian translation file. - Grammar fix in russian translation. - Add x2gohelper to start X2Go Client on Windows and clean child processes if X2Go Client crashes. (Fixes: #525). - On Windows rename x2goclient.exe to x2goclient-mainprocess.exe and x2gohelper.exe to x2goclient.exe. - Start x2gohelper from X2Go Client. Revert name changing of X2Go Client and x2gohelper. - Add Makefile for x2gohelper. - Add support for sessions folders. - Add folder explorer: a GUI to manage of session subfolders. - Support for sessions subfolders in sessionmanagedialog. - Session name autocompletion only for sessions in current folder. - Support for session subfolders and command-line options "--session" and "--sessionid". - Disable session explorer "back" button if user sessions are disabled. - Include <QDir> in sessionexplorer.cpp. - Remove deprecated workaround in wapi.cpp. - Save folder icons Base64 coded. Save icons under General\icon_<PATH>. (Fixes: #580). - Fix placing sessions folders in broker mode. - Fix onmainwindow.cpp after 76ae96781f1d2d5754ee4751539d5de47f1d0297. - Add support for session selection in broker mode. . [ Mike DePaulo ] * New upstream release (4.0.3.0): - Make X2Go Client aware of the Cinnamon (CINNAMON) desktop environment. (Fixes: #571) - Make X2Go Client aware of the Trinity (TRINITY) desktop environment. (Fixes: #609) - Make X2Go Client aware of the Openbox (OPENBOX) window manager. (Fixes: #607) - Make X2Go Client aware of the IceWM (ICEWM) window manager. (Fixes: #608) - Windows: Fix not being able to add the server to the known_hosts file when the username has non-English characters. (Fixes: #566) (NOTE: This fix only works when the non-English characters are in the same language as the Windows "system locale" AKA "Language for non-Unicode programs." Bug #611 was written for fixing the issue for languages other than the system locale.) Thanks George Trakatelis (uom.edu.gr) for submitting part of this fix. - Windows: Install VcXsrv "misc" fonts by default, and make all 4 font groups optional: misc, 75dpi, 100dpi and others (Fixes: #108) Note: The fact that all the fonts are included makes the installer about 30MB larger. - Windows: Bundle new version of VcXsrv: 1.15.2.1-xp+vc2013+x2go1 This new version is based on upstream VcXsrv 1.15.2.0, but still compatible with Windows XP. It also has its bundled OpenSSL updated to 1.0.1j. It is compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and contains 1 X2Go-specific change, winmultiwindow.patch. This patch fixes an issue when resizing the NX-proxy window on specific multiple monitor setups. (Thanks Oleksandr Shneyder for the patch) (Fixes: #568) (Fixes: #594) - Windows: Port from MinGW 4.4 + Qt 4.8.5 to MinGW 4.8.2 + Qt 4.8.6, including fix for QTBUG-38706 (Fixes: #474, #603) - Windows: Fix missing VcXsrv/zlib1.dll . The impact of this bug was that VcXsrv would not start if the cwd was changed from the x2goclient directory. (The start menu and desktop shortcuts do have the x2goclient directory as the cwd. So they were not affected.) (Fixes: #587) - Windows: Make the desktop shortcut optional during install, but still the default. - Windows: Upgrade libssh from 0.5.5 to 0.6.3. This fixes connecting to hpn-enabled SSH servers. The Pageant support patch from the KDE Windows project was ported to 0.6.3 by myself and Mike Frederick. (Gmail: psududemike) (Fixes: #590) - Windows: Win32 OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1h to 1.0.1j, which fixes the CVEs announced on 2014-08-06 & 2014-10-15. - Windows: Replace Cygwin Bash (sh.exe) with Cygwin Dash (ash.exe renamed to sh.exe). This also means fewer Cygwin .DLLs are bundled. (Fixes: #636) - Windows: cygwin packages (excluding OpenSSH, which is at the patched version of 6.6.1p1-3-x2go1) updated from latest versions as of 2014-06-09 to latest versions as of 2014-10-18. This includes openssl 1.0.1j-1, which fixes the CVEs announced on 2014-08-06 & 2014-10.15. (Cygwin openssl was also individually updated in 4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build2, but only to 1.0.1i-1.) - Windows: Build nxproxy.exe with Cygwin's libpng 1.5.x rather than 1.2.x. (This may improve performance when PNG compression is selected.) - Windows: Build cygwin openssh without krb5 or tcp_wrappers support because X2Go Client for Windows does not use either feature. (On Windows, Kerberos 5 (GSSAPI) support is provided by PuTTY.) - Windows: Fix text not being rendered properly at end of NSIS installer (Fixes: #597) .

Call this new hook if no installed X-Servers could be found on the system. - Only check running X-Servers that have the same WMI SessionId as the current X2Go application. - Session profiles: default value type for exports session profile option is an empty dictionary. - Make X2GoClient's constructor aware of non-usable X-Server ports. - Windows: Fix crash while attempting to find the session window. - Support SSH proxy autologin feature of X2Go Session Broker. - Provide Telekinesis support in Python X2Go. - Stop manipulating session profiles in X2GoSshProxy class. Esp. stop manipulating session profiles with deprecated session options. - Type-hardening of X2GoSshProxy class. Accept hosts as list and strings. If hosts are given as a list, a random list element will be taken as host (for connecting and for the SSH proxy tunnel setup). - Type-hardening of X2GoControlSession class's C{connect()} method. Handle hostnames that come in as lists gracefully. - Don't construct the sshproxy_tunnel parameter in x2go/utils.py. Leave that to higher level classes that know more about X2Go internals. - Add support for a subsystem string when setting up port forwarding tunnels. - Use gevent to spawn the TeKi client start-up process (instead of waiting for it to return). - Provide support for new session parameter: clipboard. (Fixes: #508). - Split up NX output and NX errors into two separate files. - Silent ignore it if we cannot detect the local Xlib.display.Display() instance (happens with polyinstantiated /tmp dirs). - Don't start telekinesis client if not support server-side. Don't attempt at starting telekinesis client, if it is not installed. - Disallow server-side users to override X2Go Server commands via ~/bin (or similar). (Fixes: #334). - Handle non-available color depth in X2Go session name gracefully. (Fixes: #358). - Make sure that the x2gosuspend-session/x2goterminate-session commands are sent to the X2Go Server before we take down the NX proxy subprocess. - Create a "session.window" file in the session directory. This file for now contains one line "ID:<window-id>". The file appears once a session window comes up (start/resume), and disappears once the session window closes (suspend/terminate). - Only enable Telekinesis client debugging if the logger instance is in debug mode. - Performance tests have shown, that enabling SSH compression is not a good idea. NX should handle that instead (and does). - Better control the startup bootstrap of the Telekinesis client subsystem. - Newly understand our own Paramiko/SSH forwarding tunnel code. Become aware of handling multiple connects on the same tunnel. - Rename LICENSE.txt to COPYING. - Be more exact when detecting the NX proxy window id. - On non-Windows platforms, enforce usage of the "ares" DNS resolver in python-gevent (which is available since Python gevent 1.0~). (Fixes: #588). - Use Xlib to detect client-side destop geometry. - For reverse port forwardings use IPv4 localhost address only. - Assure proper NX Proxy cleanup when sessions suspends/ terminates. - Assure proper Telekinesis client cleanup when sessions suspends/ terminates. - Clean up terminal sessions properly when the clean_sessions() method of the control session has got called. - Don't use compression on TeKi sshfs mounts. - Handle duplicate profile names gracefully (i.e. append a " (1)", " (2)", ... to the session profile name). (Fixes: #500). - Support server-side Telekinesis versions that ship their own (teki-)sftpserver. - Use session_name, not session_info object's __str__() method to obtain session name (in X2GoTelekinesis). - Handle socket errors on the reverse port forwarding tunnels more gracefully. - Handle sudden control session death during local folder sharing gracefully. - Don't choke on non-initialized SSH transport objects when initializing SFTP client. - Fix transport lock release in X2GoControlSession._x2go_sftp_put(). - Fix session lock release in various methods of the X2GoSession class. - Release _share_local_folder_lock on instance X2GoTerminalSession destruction. - Detect non-installed sshfs (required for Telekinesis). - X2GoControlSession: Don't mess with the associated_terminals dict if the control session has already died away (i.e. been forcefully disconnect). - If the listsessions command detects a terminated or suspended session, we have to destroy the corresponding X2GoTerminalSession() to trigger a proper cleanup of that instance. - Fix various hrefs in __doc__ strings. - Fix creating/renaming/reconfiguring session profiles. Handle host option properly (as list). - Make sure we do a deepcopy of the default session profile parameters. - Detect more exceptions in the requests module when authenticating against a session broker. - Only convert the value of the export session profile option if not already a Python dictionary. - Capture X2GoControlSessionException occurrences during client-side folder sharing initializaation while starting/resuming a session. - X2GoSessionRegistry: Don't report about sessions that have a not yet fully assigned session name / profile name / profile id. * debian/control: + Add dependencies: python-requests, python-simplejson. + Add R (python-x2go): sshfs. + Add S (python-x2go): telekinesis-client, mteleplayer-clientside. + Update D (python-x2go): python-paramiko (>= 1.15.1-0~). (Fixes: #602). * python-x2go.spec: + Add dependencies: python-requests, python-simplejson. + Additionally adapt to building on openSUSE/SLES. + Add all python packages under R to BR (for epydoc run). + Update R for python-x2go: python-paramiko >= 1.15.1. . [ Mike DePaulo ] * New upstream version (0.5.0.0): - Windows: Fix compatibility with PulseAudio 3.0 & later (Fixes: #532) - Windows: Prevent high PulseAudio CPU usage on Windows XP by lowering PulseAudio's CPU priority from "high" to "normal" on XP specifically. Also do so on Windows Server 2003 (R2) (Fixes: #537) Regards, Mike Gabriel -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…
