Dear all,
due to the great contribution of Jim Burnes we are able to bump an
unscheduled bugfix release of NX (redistributed) aka x2goagent that
fixes recently observed crashes of X2Go occuring on systems that had
been upgraded to libcairo >= 1.12.1.
The patch--as stated by its author--is still in alpha development
state but it definitely fixes crashes of GTK applications under KDE,
resp. startup failures of the GNOME3 fallback desktop of recent Debian
wheezy/sid X2Go installations.
@Developers: the patch still needs some reviewing and possibly
improvements, so please take a look:

For the record: nx-libs 3.5.0.13 has been uploaded to all
nightly-built repositories and to Debian repositories wheezy main and
sid main. The
Debian squeeze main repos still has the older version 3.5.0.12.
We will investigate the impact of the libcairo patch more closely
before uploading the packages to X2Go's squeeze main repos.
Greets, Mike

It seems that this time there is no corresponding nx-libs-3.5.0.13-lite.tar.gz tarball. Is this on purpose or is this an oversight?

I only kick out an nx-libs-lite tarball if there really is a change in
the -lite code segment (libxcomp, nxproxy). If that is not the case, I
skip the nx-libs-lite tarball version.
