X11docker Versions Save

7.6.0 - 2023-01-18

Changed

• --install|--update|--update-master: Up to version 7.5.0 x11docker installed itself with prefix /usr, now it uses /usr/local. This serves to follow the Linux Foundation specifications of /usr/local. To help with the transition, a new option --remove-oldprefix was introduced. An update from previous versions must be done twice to take effect. Recommended procedure:
  • First run: x11docker --update
  • Again run: x11docker --update
  • Afterwards run: x11docker --remove-oldprefix

Added

• --remove-oldprefix: Remove installation in old prefix /usr. (479)

7.5.0 - 2023-01-16

Added

• man page for x11docker. (Run update from 7.4.2 twice to install it.) (469)

Fixed

• --tty failed with --xc. Fix: disable --xc. (464)
• --xonly: run socat unprivileged to make the unix socket accessible. (466)
• --share: Softlink fix for folders in HOME. (475)
• jq support to lessen python dependency. (478)
• Replace getent with custom grep command. (477)
• --install|--update*: Do not depend on backend. (470)

Deprecated

• --backend=proot: Deprecated because likely no one uses it, but would need further checks and maintenance.

7.4.2 - 2022-08-7

Fixed

• --xpra*: Fix for Wayland+X11 on host. Use Wayland for xpra client. Caused startup failure along with --xc. (462)

• --fullscreen: Enable desktop mode.
• Do not set --hostname to avoid --network issues. (463)

Fixed

• --user: Fix in setup of /etc/gshadow.
