X2Go release day: nx-libs, x2goserver, x2goclient, x2gognomebindings, x2golxdebindings, x2godesktopsharing
Dear all,
The X2Go Project it proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases:
- x2goserver (3.1.0.0)
- x2goclient (3.99.1.0)
- nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.11)
- x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.4)
- x2golxdebindings (1.0.1.2)
- x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.4)
All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian,
Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The windows version of x2goclient will
probably be available today, as well.
With X2Go Server and X2Go Client we introduce a slightly changed
session handshake when resuming an already running session.
Older clients will be fully compatible with newer servers (and vice
versa). The fix addresses a session resume failure that occurred every
once in a while (quite rare, but annoying). For the code change please
refer to the commits in X2Go Git addressing this:
X2Go Server... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=63556d25c3a86f18...
X2Go Client... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f4eab56698f439d...
Python X2Go... (though not released today, still mentioned here) http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=python-x2go.git;a=commitdiff;h=37cbc1fa5f77877...
People upgrading x2goserver and running PostgreSQL as session database
backend, make sure to read the README.upgrade-pgsql-database thorougly:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob;f=x2goserver/doc/README....
Below, you can see the corresponding changelog entries for the new releases.
One aspect we are really proud of is the number of people who have
contributed to this release set. Thanks to all people contributing to
X2Go.
light+love, Mike

NX-LIBS
nx-libs (2:3.5.0.11-0) RELEASE; urgency=low
[ Mike Gabriel ]
- Use ,,$(MAKE) -C'' in main Makefile for calling Makefiles in
subdirectories, make build stanza work for nx-libs-full and nx-libs-lite. - Do not install libXinerama directly into /usr/lib/nx. Recommended
method is installing to /usr/lib/nx/Xinerama, so that you can
enable/disable usage of the Xinerama extension. - Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, use curly braces for macros.
- Enable parallel build for Debian package.
- Merge honor-ac-dirs.patch from Jan Engelhardt (OpenSUSE) with already existing Makefile patches (012_nxcomp..., 013_nxcompext_..., 014_nxcompshad_...).
- Rename patches 030_nx-X11_... and 031_nx-X11_..., the tarball roll script currently requires ,,full'' or ,,full+lite'' in the file name.
- Make patch headers DEP5 compliant (030_nx-X11_... and 031_nx-X11_...).
- Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, fix missing $(CONFIGURE) variable.
- Update patches: 012_nxcomp..., 013_nxcompext_..., 014_nxcompshad_....
Also make use of $(LIBFULL) in Makefile.in's install and
uninstall stanzas. Inspired by Jan Engelhardt's so-version.diff patch. However, the version name change requested in that patch has been rejected for NX (redistributed). - Apply patches for the Debian package as the last patches in the series.
- Fix faulty patch name suffix (has to be .patch, not .diff).
- Fix Xinerama support in Debian package libnx-x11 when NX gets built with patch 600_nx-X11+nxcompext+nxcompshad_unique-libnames.full.patch. Still on the todo list: fix the nx-X11 installation via Makefile.
- Fine-tune symlinking of libXinerama.
[ Jan Engelhardt ]
- Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, allow passing of configure args.
- Add patch: 030_nx-X11_configure-args.diff. Allow passing of
configure args. - Add patch: 031_nx-X11_parallel-make.diff, enable parallel make.
- Add patch: 301_nx-X11_use-shared-libs.full.diff, use shared libraries from distribution rather then libs included in source tree.
- Add patch: 032_nx-X11_no-x11r6-project-root. We must not overlap with any existing files, therefore, both /usr/X11R6 and /usr are excluded possibilities for ProjectRoot. Use %_libexecdir/somename, since that is still allowed by FHS.
- Add patch 600_nx-X11+nxcompext+nxcompshad_unique-libnames.full.patch, use unique library names for nx-X11 based X11 libraries.

x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.4-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low

x2goserver 3.1.0.0 will not build for me.
The problem seems to be with the calling of "man2html" in all of the sub-Makefiles. man2html expects its input to be STDIN, not a file argument. So all of the sub-Makefiles need to have "<" in front of the input file argument so that the input is passed on STDIN.
