[winswitch] [ANNOUNCE] xpra 0.15.3 (minor fixes)

Sat Aug 15 13:26:24 BST 2015

Thanks and congratulation to the team for their work,  clearly better performances than rdesktop on a LAN,  i guess some sound stuttering in 720p is due to my limitation in bandwidth (100 Mb/s) and would disapear with a Gbit/s link ... i'v just noticed there is also a version for raspberry pi ... gonna test it  ;-)

  OK, thanks,  so i have to wait for the upgrade...  so far, my two winswitches on two distant ubuntus dont see each other as these should through mdns (without any need for configuration) as far as  i have understood . But may be this is because virtualbox VMs are designed to communicate only through RDP or VNC on the appropriate port (i opened 5010 on my firewall and could connect to it using rdesktop) , this is the naive question i was asking to myself...any comment on that ?  
 Whether you run xpra or winswitch on bare metal or in a virtual machine should not make any difference.
 That said, if you want to use mdns then you must configure your VM to allow such traffic through (ie: use bridge networking with VirtualBox)

 Cheers

 Hello,
 I'm not sure sending to the correct mailing list...My first question is: does xpra and winswitch work to provide a  remote desktop of a virtual machine?In my case it's a kubuntu VM (virtualbox in another linux host system) and i successfully installed xpra and winswitch both server and client side which is also an ubuntu 14.04 remote system (it's just for testing purpose).
  i just apt-get installed the xpra and winswitch versions available in ubuntu , is that all right or should i really follow the instructions here to add the repositories? :
