* Sun May 20 2018 ecsos@opensuse.org
- Update to 2.5 version
- RemoteBox now only pops up a VirtualBox Extensions warning
dialog on login, for server operating systems that have them
available but the extension pack
is not installed. Currently this is Linux, Solaris, Windows and
MacOS X. Others such as FreeBSD will just get a warning in the
message log as there are no VirtualBox extensions.
- Added support for setting the Audio driver of a guest when
using a FreeBSD server
- Improved the code which automatically adds the guest addition
ISO to the VMM on login which should prevent an error if the
server does not provide a guest additions ISO

pack installed, you can use VNC to connect to the guest
displays instead of RDP. You must install a VNC client on your
RemoteBox machine and configured it as appropriate in your
preferences. TigerVNC is the default client
- The guest display icon now shows whether the server expects
a VNC or RDP connection when opening the display of guests.

- Manually symlink the duplicate icon between /usr/share/icons and
/usr/share/RemoteBox. This allows us, contrary to the use of
fdupes, to define that we want the real file in /usr/share/icons,
which is a requirement for Application containerisation (the icon
needs to be extractable from a defined location for host system
integration).
