Dear all,

The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases:

• pyhoca-gui (0.2.0.0)
• pyhoca-cli (0.2.0.1)
• python-x2go (0.2.0.3)

All new packages are already available in our stable repositories
(Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The Windows version of
PyHoca-GUI also already has been built and provided on
http://code.x2go.org/releases/.

I personally am very proud to be able to present a long-waited-for
major release of Python X2Go and PyHoca-GUI. Thanks again to Dick
Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) for sponsoring this piece of software.

The latest API documentation of Python X2Go can be read here: http://code.x2go.org/doc/python-x2go

Note for distro packagers: Python X2Go based applications have the
full range of functionality when used with Paramiko 1.8.0 and above.
For people you rely on flawless IPv6 functionality, I recommend
installing python-gevent 1.0b1 (or above).

light+love, Mike

Python X2Go

python-x2go (0.2.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low

• New upstream version (0.2.1.1):
  • Make sure that internal calls to _X2goClient__list_sessions are not overridden by other method definitions in classes that inherit from X2goClient class. (Fixes: #89).
  • Rewrite colour depth of 17bits to 16bits when invoking rdesktop. Relevant for X2Go-proxied RDP sessions started with PyHoca-GUI under Windows.
  • Handle control sessions being None in session list cache.
  • In cases where several session profiles connect to the same machine under the same user ID, we have to strictly differentiate between running/suspend sessions associated to the several connected session profiles.
  • Make connection disruptures more robust.
