Hi everyone,
the LITA (Linux Info Tag Augsburg=Linux Info Day Augsburg) organizers
have agreed on their next event date, which will be 2017-04-22 (a Saturday).
The event takes place in Augsburg, Germany.
The X2Go project intends to be there, and is looking for volunteers
manning our booth.
We're also open to suggestions/volunteers for X2Go-themed talks.
Their announcement, in German, can be found here:
<https://www.luga.de/Aktionen/LIT-2017/>
We should sign up until 2017-02-28, however, the sooner, the better so
we can secure a good spot and sufficient desk space.
If you want to be a volunteer, please contact *me* directly (and ASAP),
don't post to the list. The address is <X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de> and it
is set as "reply-to" of this message, so if your mail client is smart,
it will honor that automatically.
-Stefan

Hi everyone,
a few days ago, Mihai (ionic) posted a call for translations to
<x2go-i18n(a)lists.x2go.org>, in which he mentioned that he intends to
have X2GoClient 4.1.0.0 release-ready around 2017-02-09.
Key new features/bugfixes of this upcoming release are:
- PulseAudio Support on macOS
- updated SSHD handling for the client-side SSHD required for file
and print sharing
- fix for the "key error" messages also relating to SSHD that may
have kept file and print sharing from working, esp. on Windows
A full list of features and bugfixes will be published by Mihai once the
official release takes place.
This message is so you can plan ahead and find a spot in your personal
schedule where you might want to download, test, and deploy the new client.
I would also like to use this opportunity to introduce a new sponsor,
CFD.direct.
CFD Direct <http://cfd.direct> are the primary developers of
OpenFOAM <http://openfoam.org>, the free, open source software
for computational fluid dynamics.
We received 1000 EUR from them as an initial payment, along with a
statement that they intend to fund the project annually with a fixed
percentage of their cloud revenue.
Our plan is to use this money to rent a virtual macOS system running a
current version of macOS, and add this as a Jenkins slave to our current
build infrastructure. That way, creating new X2GoClient builds for
macOS will be a lot easier (automated, nightly builds etc.).
Due to personal vacation time, this will probably not happen before
early April 2017, though with a little bit of luck we can start as early
as Mid-February.
Long story short: Especially if you're a macOS user, please give
X2GoClient 4.1.0.0 a try once it's officially released, and report back
any bugs with it on our bugtracker.
Instructions on how to report bugs can be found here:

If you feel like replying to this message, please DO NOT hit "reply to
all". Instead, please respect the "Reply-To" header field and send your
reply *only* to <x2go-project(a)lists.x2go.org>.
Kind Regards,
