2010-03-09  by: Silvia Regis

ROME, Italy, March 09, 2010 - NoMachine releases today the first maintenance release of NX Client 3.4.0 packages. The new version, besides fixing some issues affecting the multiple monitor support, includes a solution for a number of other problems such as:

  • The NX session could appear frozen if it is displayed in full screen mode.

  • The auto-repeat feature can not be disabled on NX Client for Windows.
     
  • The session may fail with error 'Can't determine the location of the X display socket'.
     
  • Information about SMB/CIFS sharing failures may not be reported correctly
     
  • Difficulties may arise when typing acute and grave signs due to missing support for us_intl keyboard layout.

Technology Brief
Data encryption and security

NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.

Multimedia support

NX transparently tunnels Linux multimedia channels. Not only does NX play KDE and Gnome system sounds, but you can listen to MP3s played on the server and local workstation simultaneously.

Unified support for all major remote desktop protocols

Thanks to its outstanding compression performances, NX is able to deliver X, RDP and RFB remote sessions using the same client. This is achieved by translating "foreign" protocols into X-Window, the native protocol of NX.
