X2Go Broker (0.0.4.1) released

Dear all

The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2gobroker''.

New gains of this version of ,,x2gobroker'' are:

o supports offline builds o make builds reproducible, patch by Chris Lamb o new WSGI symlink as /usr/lib{,exec}/x2gobroker/wsgi/x2gobroker-wsgi (whatever location is appropriate) to x2gobroker-wsgi in the bindir o agent's host key policy now configurable globally, per backend and per session, defaulting to rejecting unknown host keys; potentially backwards incompatible, since the old default was to print a log file warning but accept it! o misc. bug fixes o updated translations (fetched from Debian)

The X2Go project thanks Linnea Skogtvedt and Chris Lamb for their valuable input and submitted work.

  • Correctly initialize the loggers when using x2gobroker via WSGI in Apache2.
