Thanks for bringing that up. Yes, that's exactly the plan.

This said, I explicitly built the preview version from my bugfix/osx
(/features/cleanup) branch to have it tested more widely. While the code
changes were minimal, as already discussed in private, (FIXME: also put
this up the mailing list tomorrow!) I didn't test more sophisticated
features like the broker or LDAP and there is a chance some resources
(images) are not yet correctly wrapped up in my wrapper. I suspect I got
it all, but more testing is never a bad idea.

The benefit of this build to the user of course is a way more stable
client which doesn't need to be restarted every time a subsequent
session is started.


4.0.3.2 will be released based on current master, not my restructured
branch(es).

My understanding of LTS is still very fuzzy. Does LTS merely mean that
it's supported for an extended period of time, living in its own
directory on packages.x2go.org and that any bugfixes for master are
supposed to be backported to the LTS release?
