[winswitch] [ANNOUNCE] Xpra 2.3.4 : many fixes, some important

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

Once again, this release contains a very large number of fixes.

At least one of these fixes is important: the server shutdown fix could
leave dangling virtual displays and sockets on exit.

Otherwise the areas that received the most fixes are: Python3 builds,
VNC clients, build and test fixes, better OS compatibility (shells,
libraries, display detection, packaging, etc) and UI fixes (mixed clicks
on tray, scaling, tray icon corruption, etc).

Updating is strongly recommended.


Release notes:
*  fix server does not shutdown cleanly (Xvfb not killed)
*  fix signals not emitted (ie: delay-tray command line option)
*  fix client desktop-scaling corner cases
