Subject: [Devel] Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop 2.5 beta1
Message-ID: <4BFF764A.40506@ulteo.com>

Hi!

we are updating the OVD 2.x branch with the 2.5 beta1 release. It is now
ready for download for beta testers!

This release is a scalability-focused update of OVD 2.0.3 for large
Ulteo deployements, though including some new features and bug fixes.

Here is the list of changes:


Features:
--------
          o Application Server (linux): create parallel processes that
can launch more sessions to handle a larger number of users and decrease
session start duration

          o Session Manager: improve handling of a large number of
users, including better LDAP & Active Directory link (tested with more
than 50,000 users directories).

          o Added "external" session mode to launch applications from an
external portal/website


Improvements:
------------
          o Adminstration console: added more statistics about sessions
and status
          o Adminstration console: added page changer to session and
server pages
          o Adminstration console: added autodetection of web browser
language


Bugfixes:
--------
          o Adminstration console: Do not allow empty password on
Administrator password modification
          o Applet: Handle anonymous proxies
          o Session Manager: Fix load balancing of server
          o Application Server (linux): Clean the x11-unix file before
and after starting VNC server
          o Application Server (linux): Flush orders for windows which
was not maximized after a maximize order
          o Application Server (windows): Use a better method to get
memory avalaible (for memory > 4GB)

Others:
------
          o Added Japanese language


All information about downloading and reporting bugs is available at:
http://www.ulteo.com/home/en/ovdi/openvirtualdesktop/download2.5

We are waiting for your feedback!

Greets,

	Ga?l

Is there any information or roadmap concerning audio/sound support..?

Lastly, has there ever been any thought to Ulteo talking to any of the
remote desktop vendors.

The GPL'd x2go <http://blog.x2go.org/> group's project would make remote
Ulteo sessions much better performing (x2go uses the gpl'd nx transport
protocol libraries).

I'd at least think about what integrating the two projects might provide?
x2go for the remote desktop
and Ulteo for the server/desktop environment and overall management?

I've used NoMachine and FreeNX and x2go was the first that implemented
audio/sound correctly.   Also, its printing and directory shares work
between
the remote and local machine.

Thanks for the update on Ulteo

Hi Brian,

Ulteo will introduce sound support in version 3.x, which is the next
version after the 2.5

It will also bring many other improvements including performance
improvements and usability improvements (printing, local devices...). We
have a long features roadmap on which we have been working on for more
than 12 months for the main ones, even before the first 2.x release.

Regarding NX, it was a candidate as a core protocol for Ulteo at the
begining of the project because it was an excellent protocol on many
aspects. But we have decided not to use it for several reasons,
including the fact that it was very plateform dependant.

Additionnally, more and more we are going to an equal support of Windows
and Linux on both the server(s) and the client OS, so we need to choose
and develop technologies that fit that goal.

For your information, Ulteo won't use VNC anymore starting from version
3.x.

In order to summarise our product roadmap "vision", we are not seeking
the perfect protocol, or the perfect such or such feature, we are trying
to develop the most acceptable and best Open Source global alternative
as a client-server and virtualization infrastructure solution.

Regards,

	Ga?l
