Hello all!

A new hotfix release of Checkbox is available in the stable PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~hardware-certification/+archive/ubuntu/public

It includes a new version of the following component only:

- checkbox-ng 1.11.0

*HOTFIX*

Using checkbox remote, on some systems the heuristics used to guess the 
user was wrong.
i.e ubuntu uid was 1001 instead of 1000 and master was disconnected with 
a cryptic error msg:

Slave explicitly disconnected you. Possible reason: new master connected 
to the slave

*Changelog*

checkbox-ng:
+ Bump to v1.11.0
+ store effective normal_user var in appblob
+ improve performance and clarity of start_session
+ remove guessing of username for local host
+ make checkbox obey launcher's normal_user

Cheers,

Sylvain Pineau
