Description Joe Stroller 2017-03-17 18:11:34 UTC 
Sorry to open another one of these only a few days after the release of 1.0.4

From today's announcement, it looks like xpra's versioning is now:

• 0.14.27 - in the Portage tree - old LTS branch, in January it was announced "branch may still also receive one or two updates, but it will be discontinued before long - time to move on." Announcement from Xpra mailing list is link 1 below.

• 1.0.4 - in the Portage tree - current LTS branch - announcement of this branch is link 2 below

• 2.0 - today's release: 

   This release finally drops compatibility with many outdated libraries
   and operating systems so we can streamline the code, use newer
   technologies and better prepare for the future.

   The following systems are no longer supported: Windows XP and Vista,
   Mac OSX versions older than 10.9, Debian Squeeze and Wheezy, Ubuntu
   Precise and Trusty, CentOS 6.x, 7.0 and 7.1, Python 2.6, GStreamer
   0.10, pycrypto, older versions of Pillow and PyOpenGL, etc.. A number
   of our less useful codecs have been removed.

   There aren't many new features, one that's most noteworthy is
   drastically improved build systems for MS Windows and Mac OSX.

   Announcement is link 3 below.
