Fixes: 1003 1019 1027 1036 1079
Changes: 
 x2goclient (4.0.5.2-0x2go1) RELEASED; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Klaus Ade Johnstad ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.5.2):
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_nb_no.ts: update Bokmål (Norway) translation file.
 .
   [ Mihai Moldovan ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.5.2):
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_nb_no.ts: fixup translation by respecting the
       original messages' format, typo fixes and other changes.
     - res/i18n/x2goclient_fi.ts: fixup translation by respecting the original
       messages' format and other changes.
     - src/{ongetpass,onmainwindow}.cpp: fixup QPlastiqueStyle usage on Qt5.
       This particular style has been removed/replaced by Fusion, which
       incorporates features of both Plastique and Clearlooks styles.
     - x2goclient.spec: whitespace only.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add (default) MacPorts prefix, /usr/local/bin and
       /opt/X11/bin to x2goclient's environment and child environments before
       starting xmodmap. Fixes: #1019. Requires a re-release of X2Go Client for
       OS X.
     - src/x2goutils.{cpp,h}: add new function add_to_path () to add multiple
       entries to a PATH-like string if they do not exist in there yet.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: replace old code to modify the PATH value with the
       new add_to_path () function.
     - src/{onmainwindow,sshmasterconnection}.cpp: refactoring and whitespace only
       changes following up the #1027 patch.
     - src/onmainwindow.h: add new enum for selecting SSH host key types.
     - src/onmainwindow.h: rename ONMainWindow::generateHostDsaKey () to
       ONMainWindow::generateHostKey () and make key type selectible. Fixes:
       #1003. Host key type selection currently only works within the code. Replace
       calls to former ONMainWindow::generateHostDsaKey () with the generalized
       function and request an RSA-type key.
     - src/help.cpp: actually make help descriptions translatable. Looks ugly
       and is cumbersome to use, but there seems to be no other way to do
       that...
     - src/help.h: typo fix in comment only.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: add some comments related to maybe using
       add_to_path ().
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: work around changed SSH host key locations in OS X
       10.11+. Fixes: #1079. Also check /etc/ssh/ for keys.
     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: fix last commit by using QFileInfo instead of
       QDir. This lets us use the exists () member function correctly.
     - {nsis/x2goclient.nsi,res/i18n/x2goclient_{da,es,et,fi,nl,zh_tw}.ts}:
       replace left-overs of "X2go" with the correct "X2Go" spelling.
       This mostly touches obsolete strings and file names, that need to be
       cleaned, but it's still worthwhile to not have it show up when searching
       for the old string. Given that NTFS is normally case-insensitive,
       removing the files will still work.
   * debian/control:
     - Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev@lists.x2go.org>.
     - Uploaders: add myself. Also, force a rebuild due to the changed
       versioning.
 .
   [ Mike DePaulo ]
   * New upstream release (4.0.5.2):
     - Windows: add sshd debug1 logging when using the --debug flag.
     - Windows: Revert back to Cygwin components that have not been
       "rebased"
     - Windows: Update PuTTY from 0.66 to 0.67, which fixes

       references for the other token types. Fixes: #1036.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.5.2
Tags: patch


Hello,

I really like the new support for OTP (One Time Passwords).

This patch adds support for ANSI X9.9 OTP tokens (and probably others too).
These tokens look like tiny calculators.  Here's a link to a typical example:

  http://www.safenet-inc.com/multi-factor-authentication/authenticators/one-time-password-otp/gold-challenge-response-token/

Here's a diagram of the "user experience" when using these tokens:

  http://www.safenet-inc.com/uploadedImages/images/products/data-protection/authentication-images/GOLD-challenge-response-diagram.png

With this patch, if the SSH server sends a verification prompt to the X2Go
client that contains the string "challenge", then the client will prompt the
user for the verification code (as before), but this time it will show the
user the actual content of the server's prompt.

This enables the user to see what the "challenge" is.  This is not a
requirement for the time or event based algorithms currently supported.

The X9.9 standard was very popular before the newer algorithms came along and
there are many companies that use this style.

Thanks for your consideration!  X2Go rocks!
