Rome, Italy, May 17, 2011 - NoMachine
releases today a new minor version of its flagship product, NX 3.5.0,
with the main aim of consolidating all fixes and implementations made on the 3.4.0 branch so far. The new packages includes solutions for a number of problems such as:

• DEB packages are not fully compatible with the most recent debian policies.
   
• The NX Client package may fail to install on some Linux distributions such as RHEL 6 due to libaudiofile missing on the system. 
   
• NX Server may start the session on a display number not in the scheduled range when multi-node support is enabled.
   
• SMB share may not be unmounted at session disconnection or termination.
   
• Mounting shares may fail on Debian 6, Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 and Redhat 6.
   
• Some key combinations might not work in shadow sessions.
   
• Specific keyboard layouts such as latin-american or dvorak may not work with NX Client for Windows.
