# OSS evolution of classic nx technology - OpenNX CE
All these years, the classic nx was not as dead as it seemed ;)
It is used in production and develops as fast as it can.
Continued development of the original code from http://opennx.net/
I am very grateful to the developers of the [ArcticaProject/nx-libs](https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs) for maintaining backward
compatibility and the opportunity to use their libraries instead
of self-assembly.
Compared to the original opennx new features added by community:
- Building with wxWidgets 3.0.4
- For win32 building with modified !M NX-libs uder cygwin. Xming not used.
Sources of these libs may be found at [old git repo](http://git.etersoft.ru/people/dimbor/packages/?p=NXClient-W32.git)
- CUPS client mode: client's system CUPS used directlty
This need to provide username/pass on each printer (like on win-resources);
- Pulseaudio sound: direct, tunnelled, with or without resampling.
On Windows pulseaudio6 binarys are included;
- Localization of windows sharenames;
- On Windows original fonts from nxclient are included.
- ...
It worked with our own [freenx-server](https://github.com/dimbor-ru/freenx-server)
And with classic nxserver 3.x.x compatibility remained.
Debian package home-maded for Devuan ASCII now. There is a suspicion that
under Debian Stretch everything will be fine.
Windows installer can be downloaded at [unixforum.org](https://unixforum.org/up/nxman/OpenNXCE-1.0.1-r15.6.exe)
