Dear all,
The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases:
- pyhoca-gui (0.2.0.0)
- pyhoca-cli (0.2.0.1)
- python-x2go (0.2.0.3)
All new packages are already available in our stable repositories
(Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The Windows version of
PyHoca-GUI also already has been built and provided on
http://code.x2go.org/releases/.
I personally am very proud to be able to present a long-waited-for
major release of Python X2Go and PyHoca-GUI. Thanks again to Dick
Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) for sponsoring this piece of software.
The latest API documentation of Python X2Go can be read here:
http://code.x2go.org/doc/python-x2go
Note for distro packagers: Python X2Go based applications have the
full range of functionality when used with Paramiko 1.8.0 and above.
For people you rely on flawless IPv6 functionality, I recommend
installing python-gevent 1.0b1 (or above).
light+love,
Mike
Python X2Go
===========
python-x2go (0.2.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low
* New upstream version (0.2.1.1):
- Make sure that internal calls to _X2goClient__list_sessions are not
overridden by other method definitions in classes that inherit from
X2goClient class. (Fixes: #89).
- Rewrite colour depth of 17bits to 16bits when invoking rdesktop.
Relevant for X2Go-proxied RDP sessions started with PyHoca-GUI under
Windows.
- Handle control sessions being None in session list cache.
- In cases where several session profiles connect to the same machine
under the same user ID, we have to strictly differentiate between
running/suspend sessions associated to the several connected session
profiles.
- Make connection disruptures more robust.

- Prepare for staying compatible with new SSH proxy feature
in X2Go Client.

- Allow post-initialization updating of forward_sshagent class property.
- Enable autologin and sshproxyautologin for new session profiles.
- Only monkey patch Python Paramiko based on the currently used Paramiko
version (our monkey patches have been sent upstream, so we might not
need the monkey patching for paramiko >= 1.8.0 anymore).
- Rename session type XFCE4 to XFCE (using an unversioned name).
- Avoid false positive notifications about started-by-other sessions.
- Introduce locks for session registrations.
- Wait for mounting of print and mimebox spooling share.
- Allow mixing key file, key object, key discovery and agent
authentication.
- Add progress bar support for session startup / resuming. (Fixes: #14).
- Set the session name in case a session start failed due to lack of
forwarding tunneling support in the server's SSH daemon.
- Fall back to password auth if agent auth and key discovery fail.
- Give the session window more time to appear.
- Catch rare condition in utils.find_session_window in case where
the list of window IDs is not available.
- Disable SSH agent forwarding on MS Windows platform for current
versions of Python Paramiko.
- Allow usernames containing space characters in user names (common
on MS Windows).
- Use threading.Lock to prohibit simultaneous calls of
get_published_applications() of control sessions.
- Implement some internal locking for X2goSession objects.
- Add option to disable auto-registration of pubapp sessions.
- Implement functionality for restoring mounted shares on session
resumption / re-start. Sponsored by Dick Kniep, LinDix NL.
- Catch exceptions where a user tries to resume a session that has
just been removed from the session list on the server (race
condition).
- Consolidating management of shared and unshared client-side
folders.
- Before suspending/terminating a session, make sure that the list of
shared folders is up-to-date.
- Fix password authentication in case no private RSA/DSA key for a
client user exists.
* /debian/rules:
+ Allow package build on systems with missing dh_python2.
* /debian/control:

* New upstream version (0.2.1.1):
- Do not disable the session profile template when creating a session
profile from an already existing session profile. (Fixes: #90).
- Use new feature in Python X2Go 0.2.1.1 that allows the differentiation
of sessions associated to different session profiles.

- Session profile file option ,,export'': stay empty if no exports are
definded.
- Make sure RDP (X2Go-proxy) sessions stored by PyHoca-GUI get recognized
as such by X2goClient.
- Make session icon handling more robust, be more compatible with X2Go
Client about the session icon name. Rewrite mistakes pyhoca-gui
(<= 0.2.0.4) did on the icon attribute in the session profile config.

- Slight change in internal message box API, rename custom_message class
option to msg.
- Add a warning message box that DirectRDP is not yet supported by
PyHoca-GUI.

fit in.
- Do not offer DirectRDP sessions in profile manager while connected to a
real X2Go server via SSH.
- Configure SSH proxy port in a separate session profile option
(sshproxyport).
- Make sure that SSH proxy port migration works flawlessly.
- Rework session profile manager around SSH proxy settings. Implement
session
profile options ,,sshproxysameuser'' and ,,sshproxysamepass''.
- Rebuild of i18n files, update of en.po and de.po.
- Disable ,,usesshproxy'' for DirectRDP sessions.
- Make ,,maxdim'' option configurable through session profile manager.

authentication
request forwarding in session profile manager.

a slightly larger window).
- Profile manager: apply text field height to keyboard configuration radio

- Hide the file sharing submenu if the master session's submenu is
currently
disabled due to some current action and an expected session status
change.
- If the profile manager is open for a certain session profile, disable
all menu items that relate to this session profile. Re-enable the menu
items again, once the corresponding profile manager window has been
closed.
