Hi everyone,
a few days ago, Mihai (ionic) posted a call for translations to <x2go-i18n@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: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:bugs#reporting_bugs
