Python X2Go (0.6.0.0) released
by Mike Gabriel 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Dear all, the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,python-x2go''. New gains of this version of ,,python-x2go'' are: o Python3 port of the module (still supporting recent Python2.x versions) o Conversion of __doc__ strings from Epydoc to Sphinx o Support enabling Xinerama in X2Go Sessions Please find the refurbished API documentation at: https://code.x2go.org/doc/python-x2go/ X2Go Component: python-x2go Version: 0.6.0.0-0x2go1 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1536251712 Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2018 18:35:12 +0200 Fixes these bug report(s): 1259 1275 Changes: python-x2go (0.6.0.0-0x2go1) PREVIEW; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (0.6.0.0): - Support Python2 and Python3 alike. - Test intensively against Debian stable and unstable. (Fixes these bug report(s): #1275). - Build API doc with Sphinx. - Drop unit test framework. Never really used (though we should have). (Fixes these bug report(s): #1259). - x2go/checkhosts.py: Python3 fix in get_key_fingerprint(). - Natively support xinerama option. - x2go/backends/terminal/plain.py: x2gosession-resume handles xinerama support differently from x2gostartagent. Adding it as cmdline parameter No. 9. - x2go/utils.py: Python3 fix in get_workarea_geometry(). - Finalize Epydoc-to-Sphinx conversion of doc strings. - x2go/session.py: Update list of features. - x2go/__init__.py: Reference backends correctly. - Drop WINREG backends, never existed really, never will be, probably. - x2go/__init__.py: Avoid ares resolver for now, as it currently is broken in Debian testing. - Makefile.docupload: Add apidoc target. - docs/source/: Update API doc tree, winreg modules removed. * debian/: + Adapt to building Python3 and Python2 variants of Python X2Go. + Adapt to building API docs with Sphinx. . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (0.6.0.0): - docs/source/conf.py: set minimum sphinx version to 1.0. Needed for the sphinx.ext.viewcode extension. - docs/source/conf.py: drop minimum sphinx version requirement again, detect version manually and adapt config based on this information. - docs/source/conf.py: fix parse error due to wrong else usage. - docs/source/conf.py: import sphinx module. Hopefully that actually works out. * python-x2go.spec: - Also add fdupes package as a build dependency for RHEL-based distros. - Correctly pythonize package, for Fedora, RHEL/EPEL and OpenSuSE. It's more verbose than needs to be, but OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 - which is still supported currently - does not have python-rpm-macros and we generally want to disable the Python 3 package for now. For EPEL/RHEL versions lower than 8, we strip Python 3 stuff out completely and rename the package to python-x2go. - Fix package names in %package (and its %description) and %files sections. - Add dependency on the python-configparser backport. Makes at least part working with both Python 2 and 3. - Actually disable python3 builds on OpenSuSE. - OpenSuSE Leap 15 and TumbleWeed renamed python-xlib to python{2,3}-python-xlib. - Local %defines are buggy in older RPM implementations, work around by using %global instead. - Merge python(2)-x2go section in main section, since we cannot redefine subpackages. - Older OpenSuSE Leap versions don't support %{python2_sitelib} - use %{python_sitelib} instead. - Document %(python_module} definitions. - Override python_module macro for OpenSuSE Leap 42.3, the shipped version does not what later versions do correctly. - %{sle_version} is not defined on TW, so use a %{suse_version} check additionally to catch this variant.

Heads-Up: X2Go: The Gathering 2018 (2018-11-09 - 2018-11-11) will very likely take place at Stuttgart's hackerspace "shackspace"
by Stefan Baur 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Dear $ALL, since nobody has replied to the call for volunteers for the IT-Kongress event (see <https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-project@lists.x2go.org/msg00278.html>), and since we've lost a sponsor, compared to the previous years, it is very likely that X2Go: The Gathering 2018 will have to take place at Stuttgart's hackerspace "shackspace" (<https://shackspace.de/>) - "will have to" meaning that we're out of suitable alternatives due to both time/volunteer staff as well as financial constraints. Thus, there will be no voting period regarding the location this year, we'll simply have to pick the only option that seems to be left at the moment. The last-resort fallback option would be Ulm's youth hostel (both as an event location as well as for sleeping arrangements), but this would mean groups of 4 people would have to share one room, as they do not offer smaller rooms - which, judging from previous years' feedback, is not a situation most of our participants would be happy with. This is why we're not offering a poll with Stuttgart and Ulm as options. For Stuttgart, we're looking at a hostel-like place that offers single and double rooms, as well as at a hotel nearby, for people that prefer a higher-quality sleeping arrangement. Details will be published on the Wiki at <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2018> as soon as the two sites have confirmed room availability and replied with their booking cancellation terms. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur (with my X2Go Event Planner hat on) -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

X2Go Server 4.1.0.2 released
by Mihai Moldovan 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2goserver''. New gains of this version of ,,x2goserver'' are: o Fixed an installation issue on Ubuntu 14.04/Trusty. o Fixed spawning desktop sessions due to /etc/x2go/Xsession.d being created as a directory in 4.1.0.1. Upgrade path should be automatic. X2Go Component: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.2 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1533081358 Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2018 01:55:58 +0200 Changes: x2goserver (4.1.0.2) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.2): - Makefile.PL: update version number. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: consolidate a few entries. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: also remove Xresource*, Xsession*, xinit* and Xclient* config files. - *.{8,5}: pre-release date update. * debian/rules: + Add support for perl/perl:any substitution variable based upon detected OS version. * debian/control: + Use dist-substitution variable instead of hardcoding perl:any. + Add build dependency on x11-common for /etc/X11/Xsession* to be available in the build environment and the symlinks to be created correctly. + Add Pre-Depends on specific minimum dpkg version to x2goserver-xsession, needed for ${DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION} support. * debian/: + Add x2goserver-xsession.{preinst,post{inst,rm}} scriptlets to handle Xsession.d breakage cleanup correctly. Note that we can rely on dpkg-maintscript-helper's dir_to_symlink support only if the version is high enough, which is not the case on older Debian and Ubuntu platforms. While on Debian, that's only Wheezy and lower and we don't care about these versions anyway, Ubuntu Trusty/14.04 is sadly still supported and needs to be provided a proper workaround for now. * debian/x2goserver-xsession.post{inst,rm}: + Fix syntax errors.

X2Go Server (4.1.0.1) released
by Mihai Moldovan 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2goserver''. New gains of this version of ,,x2goserver'' are: o Correct branding as x2goagent, including icons and keybindings. o Work around non-atomic file moves between filesystems when the target is a newer version FUSE-implemented file system (i.e., sshfs). o Moved systemd tmpfiles.d configuration from /etc/tmpfiles.d to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. This file is not meant to be configurable. Users should add specialized configuration to a new file in /etc/tmpfiles.d. o Disabled BIG-REQUESTS by default. o Source tarball now ships a MySQL implementation. DO NOT USE! It's not properly hooked in. It is not installed by default. It won't work without manual modifications - on purpose. A sane database code rewrite is required first. MySQL support will be completed in a later, unspecified release. o Debian packaging improvements. The X2Go project thanks Walid Moghrabi for his valuable input and submitted work. X2Go Component: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.1 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1532666760 Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 06:46:00 +0200 Fixes these bug report(s): 1266 Changes: x2goserver (4.1.0.1) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream release (4.1.0.1): - x2goserver/man/man8/x2gostartagent.8: Fix grammar flaw reported by Debian's lintian tool. - x2goserver/man/man8/x2goresume-session.8: Fix grammar flaw reported by Debian's lintian tool. - x2goserver-x2goagent/bin/x2goagent: Fix license version (GPL-2+ not 3+). This script however is obsolete and should be replaced by a symlink to $BINDIR/nxagent. - Makefile.docupload: Switch license to GPL-2+. - x2gocheckport: chmod a+x. - x2goserver*/: license header hygene. List all copyright holder above the short form license. This prevents the licensecheck utility from being fooled. - X2Go: more license header hygene. - libx2go-server-db-perl: more license header hygene. - X2Go Agent XPM: Rename from x2go.xpm to x2goagent.xpm. - X2Go XPM icon: white background, not transparent. * debian/control: + Change D (x2goserver-xsession) on perl-modules to perl. The existence of the perl-modules package is an implementation detail of the Debian Perl packaging. + Multiarch hinter script recommends annotating perl dependency with :any. + Bump Standards-Version: to 4.1.4. No changes needed. * debian/copyright: + Update copyright.in reference template. * debian/*: Process with wrap-and-sort -a -s -t -k -b. * debian/x2goserver-printing.postinst: + Make sure /var/spool/x2goprint is always created. * debian/rules: + Add dh-missing --fail-missing override. * debian/*.{install,manpages}: + Utilize install target rather than picking all files from the source tree ourselves. * debian/: + Drop inert file (due to wrong file suffix): debian/x2goserver.link. + Drop x2goserver-xsession.links. Symlinking provided by main Makefile's install target. * debian/x2goserver.postinst: + When testing for existence of /etc/x2go/applications, also consider it being a dangling symlink (dangling symlinks are not caught by 'test -e', but need a 'test -L'. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for helping with this. (Fixes: DBTS#904515). Backported from a Debian patch. * debian/x2goserver-printing.postrm: + Remove x2goprint's spool dir on purgal. * debian/x2goserver-common.postrm: + Properly purge /etc/x2go and /var/lib/x2go. . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.1): - Makefile.PL: adjust embedded version number. - x2goserver/lib/x2gocheckport: remove executable flag. This file is not meant to be executed directly, but rather sourced by other X2Go shell scripts. - x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: do not stage rgb file any longer. Obsoleted, is now hardcoded into nxagent directly. - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc: remove rgb file. - x2goserver-fmbindings/Makefile: install share/mime/packages/sshfs-x2go.xml as a plain file, not an executable. - x2goserver-x2goagent/share/x2go/x2gofeature.d/x2goserver-x2goagent*: make executable. - x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: replace ${PREFIX}/bin/x2goagent wrapper script with a symlink to the ... x2goagent symlink in the NXLIBDIR. - x2goserver-x2goagent/bin: remove x2goagent wrapper script. Unneeded and actually harmful nowadays. - x2goserver-x2goagent/bin: add .keep file to keep this directory around. - x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: it's $(NXLIBDIR), not $(NX_LIBDIR). - x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: add missing bin component in symlink target for ${PREFIX}/bin/x2goagent. - x2goserver-common/Makefile: stage tmpfiles.d config file into ${PREFIX}/lib/. File should not be modified by users. - x2goserver-common/: move etc/tmpfiles.d to lib/tmpfiles.d. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: whitespace only. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: use global variable instead of hardcoded string (since the global variable is used latter on anyway). - X2Go/Server/DB.pm: add high-level MySQL/MariaDB support. References the X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL module (and functions/subroutines in there) which currently does not yet exist. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: wrap PostgreSQL code in own block, should not have any functional impact. - {X2Go/Server/DB/PostgreSQL.pm,x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin}: move /etc/x2go/x2gosql/passwords/x2goadmin or ${HOME}/.x2go/sqlpass to .../x2gopgadmin and .../pgsqlpass respectively. Move is done at run-time, so no user interaction should be required. It requires one database operation to be carried out first in order to trigger the move, but x2godbadmin does not actually use that account information (only generates it), so we should be in the clear. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: generate more secure user-level database passwords. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: split out subroutines into main namespace, call them generically with correct parameters from specialized namespace. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: remove potentially confusing whitespace. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: fix up other try blocks; whitespace only. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: implement MySQL support, based on Walid Moghrabis changes, but slightly amended. Caveat: INCOMPATIBLE DATABASE SCHEMA! - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: update copyright header. - UNINSTALL: add reference to remove mysqladmin password file if uninstalling the tarball manually. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: no need to specify or use database for list_users operation. - X2Go/Server/DB/PostgreSQL.pm: fix syntax error. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: don't use prototypes when functions actually take arguments. - X2Go/Server/DB: add new file MySQL.pm, implementing the MySQL session storage backend. Based on original code by Walid Moghrabi, but modified. Will fail to execute correctly, so do not use yet. - X2Go/Server/DB/MySQL.pm: copy over some (modified) functions and use them for validating session IDs, check user names at some places and the like, which will come in handy at a later point. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: whitespace-only change. - X2Go/Server/DB/MySQL.pm: move into new X2Go_in_progress_do_not_use top-level directory. - x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: error out when encountering MySQL server config for now. - X2Go/Server/DB.pm: error out when encountering MySQL server config for now. - x2goserver-common/etc/x2gosql/sql: add example MySQL section and add to "supported" backends list. - x2goserver-common/etc/x2gosql/sql: reformat PostgreSQL comments. - X2Go/Server/DB.pm: don't use X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL for now. - X2Go/Server/DB.pm: comment out calls to X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL::*. - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options: typo fix in comment only. - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options: disable BIG-REQUESTS; leads to a lot of weird crashes and is currently not implemented correctly in nxagent. Fixes: #1266. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: fix calculation syntax errors, drop useless subshells, don't use -o operator in plain test calls. - x2goserver-printing/bin/x2goprint: work around atomicity problems with newer FUSE versions, create .ready file as .notready, move/copy to target file system and only then rename it in a hopefully atomic fashion. - *.{8,5}: pre-release date update. * debian/{control,compat}: + Bump DH compat level to 9. * debian/: + Rename config to x2goserver.config. + Remove obsolete x2goserver-{extensions,printing,xsession}.dirs files, should be correctly handled via the main Makefile and staging by *.install files. + Remove obsolete x2goserver-fmbindings.dirs file. + Rename x2goserver.dirs to x2goserver-common.dirs, moving /var/lib/x2go to the -common package. + New file x2goserver-printing.dirs: own /var/spool/x2goprint. * debian/x2goserver-x2goagent.install: + Do not install rgb file/symlink any longer. * x2goserver.spec: + Do not install rgb file/symlink any longer. + Bump nxagent requirement to 3.5.99.5+. + Remove stale symlinks check workaround now that we pull in nxagent >= 3.5.99.0 by default. + Move references from etc/tmpfiles.d to %{_prefix}/lib/tmpfiles.d. + Depend upon perl(DBD::mysql) for MySQL/MariaDB support in perl DBD. + Comment out perl(DBD::mysql) dependency for now. + Backport dangling symlink check for /etc/x2go/applications. + Pull in GCC as a build dependency. + Mask out variables in comments to avoid build-time warning messages. + Work around build failure on Fedora Rawhide/29+ by pulling annobin in explicitly. Shouldn't be necessary, but the current architecture around redhat-rpm-config requires that. * debian/copyright.in: + Remove reference to rgb file. + Remove reference to x2goagent wrapper script. + Add .keep file in x2goserver-x2goagent/bin directory. + Change reference from x2goserver-common/etc/tmpfiles.d to x2goserver-common/lib/tmpfiles.d. * debian/x2goserver.dirs: + Remove etc/x2go/x2gosql references, already handled by x2goserver-common. + Remove all other obsolete entries that should be handled by the main Makefile and x2goserver.install staging. * debian/control: + Bump versioned dependency upon nxagent for x2goserver-x2goagent to the first version that hardcoded the RGB file into nxagent. + Pre-Depend on new enough dpkg for the dpkg-maintscript-helper to be available. + Change http to https links. + Pull in other changes from Debian downstream. + Depend upon libdbd-mysql-perl for MySQL/MariaDB support in perl DBD. + Deactivate libdbd-mysql-perl dependency for now, but keep as comment. * debian/x2goserver-x2goagent.{{pre,post}inst,postrm}: + Handle /etc/x2go/rgb conffile removal gracefully. * debian/x2goserver*{pre,post}*: + Rework scriptlets, use updated templates, add missing templates, more and better quoting, fix other misc. errors within the scripts. * debian/rules: + Enable hardening and automatic passing of *FLAGS. * debian/x2goserver-xsession.lintian-overrides: + Whitespace/EOL change only. * debian/*.manpages: + Prepend paths with debian/tmp/ in order to work around pre-compat-11 levels not falling back to looking into debian/tmp/ for files. * debian/x2goserver.{install,manpages}: + Also install x2goumount_* symlinks. * debian/x2goserver-common.install: + Move etc/tmpfiles.d entry to usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. * debian/x2goserver-x2goagent.{{pre,post}inst,postrm}: + Handle /etc/tmpfiles.d/x2goserver.conf conffile (re-)move to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ gracefully. * debian/libx2go-server-db-perl.post{inst,rm}: + Add support for mysqladmin password file. * debian/{libx2go-server-db-perl,x2goserver{,-common}}.postrm: + Do not try to run rmdir on /etc/x2go if it doesn't exist.

Dear all, The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of X2Go Client for Windows: 4.1.2.0-2018.06.22 This is the 1st release of X2Go Client for Windows 4.1.2.0. The major Windows changes since 4.1.1.1-2018.03.1 are: - Windows: Update Win32 OpenSSL from 1.0.2k to 1.0.2n Fixes several CVEs - Windows: Upgrade bundled VcXsrv from 1.17.0.0-3 (X2Go/Arctica Build) to 1.20.0.0 (upstream build) + Fixes https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/600 + Incompatible with XP & Vista + Unmodified except for strip-nondeterminism being run on .gz files As with most vulnerabilities in 3rd party software, the X2Go project has not done an analysis of whether X2Go Client was actually affected by these vulnerabilities. However, as a precaution, we strongly encourage all users to update. For the Windows-specific release notes for this release, see this page: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:release-notes-mswin:x2goclient-4.1.2.0 Personal Note: I urge you to update to this release if your X2Go servers are running nx-libs 3.6 beta, which Linux distros such as Fedora 28 & Ubuntu 18.04 have included, for fixing nx-libs issue #600. See the release notes for more info. Regards, Mike DePaulo Volunteer X2Go Client for Windows maintainer

Fixes: #1263. - src/sshmasterconnection.cpp: stop libssh/OpenSSL from querying for a passphrase if started with a controlling terminal. - x2goclient.pro: remove plugin references. - misc: change http:// to https:// where appropriate, but in actual code and translation files for now. - Makefile: remove plugin references. - Makefile: remove x2goclient_*.qm files in clean rule. - x2gobrowserplugin-2.4_1/: remove. - provider/: remove. - INSTALL: remove plugin references. - {{build,config}_win_plugin.bat,config_linux_{,static_}plugin.sh}: remove. - config_win.bat: remove plugin references. - src/{configdialog.cpp,onmainwindow{.cpp,{,_privat}.h}}: remove plugin references. - src/editconnectiondialog.cpp: do not connect signals to slots that do not exist on non-Linux platforms. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add -nopn parameter to VcXsrv startup options, making the binary fail if it wasn't able to bind the requested port on all addresses. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: print out current DISPLAY value in debug log while starting X.Org Server on Windows. - src/onmainwindow.{cpp,h}: don't error out directly if starting the X.Org Server failed on Windows. Instead, try starting it three times, each time with a higher DISPLAY offset. On busy client machines, several clients raced for the sockets previously and often failed to start. Also check if the server binary actually is still alive before doing the TCP connection checks. A dead server won't be able to listen on a socket in the first place. - {src/{onmainwindow.{cpp,h},help.cpp},man/man1/x2goclient.1}: add new option --xserver-start-limit, replacing the formerly hardcoded limit of three tries. - src/onmainwindow.{cpp,h}: fix compile error on Windows - use std::size_t instead of std::ssize_t, treat zero as infinity value while parsing option value. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: handle a disabled X.Org Server start limit correctly. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: fix other compile errors/typos. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: another compile error/typo fix. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: let client recognize new --xserver-start-limit param correctly. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add -silent-dup-error parameter to VcXsrv startup options, forcing it to silently fail without showing a dialog and thus keeping the process running. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: re-add periodic xmodmap keyboard sync for OS X/macOS platforms.

Fixes: #1156. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: QProcess:nullDevice () is only available on Qt 5.2+, so use a workaround for older versions. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: actually pass the correct group ID to the chgrp call and make sure that the warning dialog box also appears whenever the exit code indicates a failure. - src/onmainwindow.{cpp,h}: remove Cygwin permissions workaround via chgrp. - copy-deps-win32.bat: update to 20180615-1 Cygwin bundle, shipping with a further modified OpenSSH Server version at 7.7p1-1-x2go1 and without chgrp. - src/onmainwindow.cpp: disable private host key permissions check in OpenSSH Server on Windows.

Dear Subscriber, As the regulations of the GDPR <https://gdpr-info.eu/> are becoming effective on May 25, 2018, we would like to send you a quick reminder about your subscription to the mailing list named x2go-announcements HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW You need to read this entire message. No further action will be required on your part, unless after reading, you don't want to be subscribed any longer - in that case, please follow the instructions below. HERE'S HOW TO REVIEW YOUR SETTINGS You may review your account settings at any time, and unsubscribe, should you ever wish to, by going to <https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-announcements> HERE'S WHY WE BELIEVE WE MAY SEND YOU LIST E-MAILS As we have sufficient reason to believe that you personally signed up, due to us using a two-step (AKA "double opt-in") subscription process, an active subscription will be taken as consent in the sense of Article 6 (1) a) and Article 7 (1) of the GDPR. HERE'S HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, thus ending your subscription, as per Article 7 (3) of the GDPR. To do so, please unsubscribe using the link above. To protect against accidental or "hostile" unsubscribing, a two-step process is also used to handle unsubscribe requests. HERE'S WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS UNSUBSCRIBING If you have difficulties unsubscribing, because the E-Mail with the unsubscribe link isn't showing up in your E-Mail inbox, please, first check your SPAM folder for any messages our list server may have been trying to send you; if nothing shows up there either, please contact the list administrators at: <mailto:x2go-announcements-owner@lists.x2go.org> HERE'S HOW WE HANDLE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS DATA Please understand that we need to keep your E-Mail address stored in our database for the duration of your subscription, which is a justifiable cause as set forth in Article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR.

Your E-Mail address is not shared with others, unless you actively post to the list. If you do, it will become visible to all other subscribers, and it may also become visible in part or fully on web sites that offer a public archive of mailing list posts, as well as in our own archive, which you can find here: <http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-announcements> If you want to keep your real E-Mail address secret from the public, while remaining subscribed, we suggest you either refrain from posting, or subscribe with a temporary, "burner" E-Mail address you created specifically for that purpose. HERE'S HOW TO REQUEST MESSAGE DELETION If you believe an E-Mail you sent should be purged from the public archive that we operate (see the link above), please also contact the list administrators at <mailto:x2go-announcements-owner@lists.x2go.org> Note that list administrators have no influence what other recipients of the particular list message do with it - e.g. if others choose to mirror contents of our list archive on their own web site, you will need to contact them separately with your deletion request. Thank you for taking the time to read this far, and for being a subscriber. Have a nice day.

Shutdown and update of macOS builders
by Mihai Moldovan 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Hi So far, our macOS builders were based on OS X 10.10 and macOS 10.12 and have built X2Go Client package bundles targeted to these platforms. Coming up in the next few hours, I will shutdown, backup and update the builders. The OS X 10.10 machine will be updated to OS X 10.11 and the macOS 10.12 machine will be updated to macOS 10.13. My personal machine will stay on OS X 10.9 and be used to build package bundles targeted to this platform. Regards, Mihai Moldovan
