xpra

This release adds support for full clipboard sharing, application icons, and the use of raw TCP sockets (for specialized environments only). Additionally, a number of bugs have been fixed: it no longer crashes on the use of mouse wheels, pathological keymaps, or when starting certain ill-behaved apps like Emacs, and it now reliably exits on control-C, among other fixes.

This release contains several minor feature improvements (for instance, mouse scroll wheels are now supported), but the main change is a large number of bugfixes. Most importantly, keyboard input to Qt apps now works, and robustness in general is greatly improved.

The most notable new feature in this release is
the ability to restart or upgrade a running xpra
server, without disturbing the programs running
inside it. In addition, many important bugs were
fixed, including one where windows would
occasionally stop updating, one where stray
busy-looping processes would be left behind on
servers, one where an X server bug caused massive
slowdowns (now worked around), and so on.
Additionally, the backspace key should now always
work, and window class/instance information is
exported.

This version supports exporting both ordinary and override-redirect windows, handles mouse and keyboard input to managed windows, has a protocol layer that adapts to the characteristics of the underlying network, and is substantially usable for most purposes.
