[winswitch] [ANNOUNCE] version 0.11.4 - bugfixes + features

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

Version 0.12.1 is now available:
http://winswitch.org/downloads/

This is the first public version of the 0.12.x branch. (0.12.0 was built
and posted two days ago but this announcement was delayed because some
fairly significant bugs were spotted soon after)

The most noteworthy features in this release are:
* Super-fast session start. To try it out, start the applet, then simply
type: wcw xterm
(obviously you can replace xterm with anything you actually want to use)
* Sound fixes: applications that are likely to use sound (ie:
media/video/sound applications) will have sound connected by default and
the sound will be moved to the new machine when you send the session
there. (not yet available on MS Windows)

More complete aggregated release notes are copied below.

You can now also use the forum to post your questions:

Cheers
Antoine
