Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2012-14179
2012-09-17 16:41:09
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : libguac
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 0.6.3
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://guac-dev.org/
Summary     : The common library used by all C components of Guacamole
Description :
Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to desktop
environments using remote desktop protocols such as VNC or RDP. A centralized
server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through
a web browser. No plugins are needed: the client requires nothing more than a
web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.

libguac is the core library for guacd (the Guacamole proxy) and any protocol
support plugins for guacd. libguac provides efficient buffered I/O of text and
base64 data, as well as somewhat abstracted functions for sending Guacamole
instructions.
