Public bug reported: 1) Ubuntu release: Yakkety Yak 2) v1.6.2-0ubuntu3 3) Expected more recent version of synergy, e.g. v1.8.x 4) Got an outdated version of v1.6.2 which doesn't support SSL connections
I asked about upgrading the version of Synergy and was told to create a bug: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synergy/+question/441860/+confirm?answer_id=0 The package for synergy is currently 1.6.2, but the current version of synergy is 1.8.6. Synergy 1.7 introduced SSL connections between client and server, greatly enhancing the security of Synergy. Users running v1.7+ on their other OSes must turn off SSL in order to work with version 1.6.2. The introduction of SSL introduced in v1.7 a lot of problems that have been addressed in v1.8. Here are the most relevant Bug/Security/Enhancements between v1.6.2 and v1.8.6-stable. ============= Bug #5680 - Server crashes when disconnecting SSL clients Bug #4740 - Linux client crashes with "Assertion '!m_open' failed" Bug #4879 - Memory leak caused by IpcReader Bug #5502 - Copy and paste from server to client doesn't work Bug #5087 - Linux client fails to start due to invalid cursor size Bug #4735 - Clipboard doesn't work from client to server Bug #4353 - Large clipboard causes crash Bug #4565 - Incorrect plugin downloads on Debian and Mint Enhancement #4313 - SSL encrypted secure connection ** Affects: synergy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: upgrade-software-version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657224 Title: Upgrade version to 1.8.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synergy/+bug/1657224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
