Hi Christoph, Upstream developer…
I think it's a bit exaggerated to say that is a privacy violation. We just get a plain text file from https://remmina.org (e.g. https:// remmina.org/news/remmina_news.php?ver=1.4.5) with the new changelog. Remmina on a regular basis verify if there's a new file or if the file of the version requested (the PHP parameter) has been changed/updated. We do this to notify users about new versions, especially when there are important bugs that have been fixed. Libreoffice does something similar for instance and other software, in Debian, as well. I understand it may be quite annoying and we can add an opt-out option, would that be enough? Please consider that for a small project like Remmina is quite important to keep a channel opened with our users, otherwise we keep receiving and answering to the same issues again again, because usual people do not do the effort of searching through our bug tracking system. We do not track people and the stats is a completely separated system, that is only opt-in. So, let's find a solution that makes everybody happy. Regards Antenore
