Hello x2gousers,
let's start this mail with the good news. After reading the next lines, you'll be able to test the new features of our new release. You'll just have to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ heuler main
Please don't remove the main x2go repository. After doing an apt-get update you'll be able to access new versions of x2goclient, x2goserver and the new packages x2godesktopsharing and x2goplasmoid. The new packages are not yet named 3.1 (planned version number of baikal). Little baby seals a called "Heuler" in german, so this is a preview and not the new release. Please keep in mind, that there are still some things need to be done before we can do the "real" release.
The new features/changelog:
x2goclient old 3.01-5 new 3.01-11 New features:
- plugin config options sound, exportfs, adsl, compression, quality, dpi, kbdlayout, kbdtype
- embeded mode for firefox plugin
- updated interface
- support for fs encodings
- shadow sessions
- xdmcp sessions
- commandline option for printing in LDAP mode
x2goserver old 3.01-5 new 3.01-9 New features:
- support for kde4 plasmoid
- support for fs encodings
- support for session sharing
new packages: x2godesktopsharing x2goplasmoid
not updated: x2goclient-gtk
Following issues are known: Connections to localhost are known to be problematic. We'll work on this issue. On some distros (with a different zip application to debian) the plugin content is unzipped without the applied user rights. In this case firefox crashes during the visit of a site containing the plugin. You can avoid this by running following command inside the users home directory:
chmod +x .mozilla/firefox/[profile]/extensions/x2goplugin@obviously-nice.de/x2goclient/x2goclient
Don't use the x2goldaptools for generating a LDAP config on top of debian squeeze (debian made a change to gnutls).
We'll work on those and on the reported bugs.
Please keep in mind, that those packages are meant for testing. In the next days we'll add documentation of the new features to the wiki:
best regards,
Alex & Heinz
