The most important fix is for the timeout issues which have been reported with MS Windows clients locking sessions. Please do let me know if you encounter any issues, preferably on-list. Cheers Antoine Here's a copy of the RELEASE_NOTES: *********************************************************************** The most notable changes are: * Windows clients now kill their client connection properly, allowing others to resume sessions much more quickly (without relying on the timeout to kick in). * Xpra has been made the default again as far too many Linux distributions ship outdated versions of NX, and also because NX 4.0 is going to be proprietary. * The software now does a simple version check on startup (Windows and OSX only) You can disable this if you wish, see FAQ for details. * Embedded server mode: the server now runs completely embedded in the client (Windows and OSX only by default), using an internal virtual socket. Avoiding firewall warnings, improving performance, etc. * Windows builds updated to GTK 2.22.1 (thanks to all-in-one installers) * Xpra server now disconnects other clients when the new connection is established. Other minor items: * Better menu hover for OSX and Windows * Bigger warnings when using SELinux * Try harder to avoid disallowed ports (ie SELinux), added blacklist file * Updated documentation * Xpra bug: a failed login would not disconnect client. * Xpra --no-pulseaudio flag no honoured properly * Xpra on OSX would ignore first command line switch! (oops) * support for FreeRDP as well as RDesktop for RDP client *********************************************************************** From antoine at nagafix.co.uk Mon Jan 31 09:55:41 2011 From: antoine at nagafix.co.uk (Antoine Martin) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 16:55:41 +0700 Subject: [shifter-users] 100% CPU bug on *nix - [SOLVED], sort of... Message-ID: <4D46871D.1030602@nagafix.co.uk> Hi all, Many of you have been reporting the "processes use 100% cpu" bug recently, which has a bug entry here: http://winswitch.org/trac/ticket/90 I believe newer Linux distros have started shipping libraries which make it unavoidable to trigger this bug. Now, the good news is the bug has been found thanks to exarkun: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4658#comment:16 The bad news is that it is a PyGTK bug I can do nothing about: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640738 So if you get high cpu usage, bug your distro and/or PyGTK to release the fix which has been provided. Cheers Antoine
