Release 0.3.2 (2011-02-10)

  outgoing call) needs to be played back by the backend, because in contrast
  to the ring tone, it is not played by the centralized UI.
- Add support for opening a (WebKit-based) local web browser as main window
  instead of an RDP viewer.

  To enable this, add the following group to the configuration file, usually
  to be found in /etc/remote-control.conf:

  If both [rdp] and [browser] groups are present, [browser] wins.

==========================
- Distribute the client remote-control library as a shared object, so that it

  implementation.
- Add an lldp-dump command to the remote-control-client.
- Fix a bug in the client VoIP login implementation that would crash the
  remote-control server.

  frame should be transferred, instead of the maximum number of bytes
  requested.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and removal of most debugging output messages.

Release 0.2.0 (2011-01-13)

- Implement basic VoIP event handling.
- Store VoIP contact for later retrieval.
- Add support for SIP domains by allowing a domain to be encoded within the
  username (i.e. user@domain.tld).

  is supported, which contains RDP connection information (hostname, username
  and password.
- Disable D-Bus code.
- Automatically reconnect RDP sessions.
- Make video window input-transparent so that events are passed through to the
  window below (user-interface).
- Set the media playback audio volume to maximum.
- Fix a bug where event processing would be blocked between when a client
  disconnects and when another connection is established.

Release 0.1.4 (2011-01-04)
==========================
- Miscellaneous build fixes.
- Port Gtk+ client from the former tc project.
- Enable I2C smartcard functionality.
- Make event-handling actually work (note: some functionality is still missing
  though).
- Use old and broken VoIP login function. The new, proper version has not been
  implemented on the client side (centralized UI).
- Add backlight API implementation based on the X DPMS extension. This can
  actually only enable/disable the backlight, so setting the brightness has no
  effect besides turning the backlight off (0) or on (> 0).
- Don't perform RPC handshake upon connection because it has not been
  implemented on the client side (centralized UI).
- Fix lldp_read() to return the number of LLDP bytes actually available.
- Build against linphone 3.3.99.10 or later.

Release 0.1.2 (2010-12-09)
==========================
