[X2Go-Dev] Deprecation and removal of X2Go Plugin

[Mihai Moldovan]

Hi


Since most browsers either stopped supporting NPAPI (or will be dropping support
with the next ESR version) and Qt 5 does not feature a browser plugin
architecture any longer, I will be ripping out code related to the X2Go Plugin
in the development version of X2Go Client soonish.

Expect the next version to not supply X2Go Plugin binaries.

Anyway there is Guacamole for browser based RDP without a plugin. Not
nearly as capable but if you're just trying to provide something that will
work from a kiosk or something that's an option.
