NX redistributed (3.5.99.26) released

[Mihai Moldovan]

Dear all


The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go
component ,,nx-libs''.

This release, as usual, tracks the release as tagged by The Arctica Project.

For more information, please refer to https://arctica-project.org/ and
especially https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs, where most development
takes place.

New gains of this version of ,,nx-libs'' are:

  o clipboard handling overhaul
  o fixed segfault in argument parsing if the passed parameter is empty
  o fixed multiple memory leaks, e.g., triggered by switching into fullscreen
    mode
  o fixed -clipboard 0/clipboard=0 argument parsing (now actually disables
    clipboard handling)
  o fixed x2goagent.xpm logo and nxagent.xpm loading times
  o dropped external icon (startup logo) loading support
  o fixed keyboard conversion handling on reconnects
  o added support for a custom version string (build-time only)
  o use nxdialog as nxclient replacement if available in /usr/bin
  o centered logo drawing
  o added missing documentation to man page (-irlimit, copysize, -defer, -tile)
  o packaged nxdialog for RPM platforms
  o improved caps- and numlock handling
  o fixed resizing bug with mutter
  o fixed nxagent not responding to resume event
  o fixed unresponsive mouse (buttons) in fullscreen mode
  o added fullscreen=2 nxagent option mode to start nxagent spanning only one
    screen and -geometry/geometry={allscreens,onescreen} options
  o support musl libc in Mesa code
  o misc. backports from X.Org
  o misc. code cleanup


Additionally, this version contains build fixes for newer distributions that are
not included in the upstream release, mentioned in the changelog below.

     + Fix nxdialog hashbang selection, especially on *SuSE.

   [ ponce ]
   * Backported to 3.5.99.26:
     - Fix building with binutils >= 2.36. The l option of ar in the newer
       binutils versions switched from being unused to being used to specify
       dependencies so here should be safely removed.


Regards,
