+ | ==== Better sound support, Part 1 ==== | ||
+ | * Code has been developed to clean up how pulseaudio is called on all three platforms | ||
+ | * This brings Pulseaudio sound to Mac OS X, which currently isn't available in the standard release | ||
+ | * This also contains the option to make sound unidirectional, | ||
+ | * The code needs to be rebased against the current mainline X2Go client | ||
+ | * Mihai (ionic) is working on this as time permits, sponsored by an anonymous donor via BAUR-ITCS. Additional donations always welcome, though, as it turned out to be way more work than expected. | ||
+ | ==== Android Client ==== | ||
+ | * TheQVD project has an NX based remote desktop solution that uses nxproxy natively on Android (https:// | ||
+ | * It should be easy to mix and match this with our codebase to create a functioning Android X2Go client. (According to Mike#1) | ||
+ | * Here's a technology preview of how you can run X2Goclient on Android - no root required, but does have quite a few limitations: | ||

+ | * Currently, NX Agent/X2Go Agent is based on old X-Server code | ||
+ | * This needs to be rewritten so it can be built against current X.org | ||
