[Thinlinc-technical] Rendering OpenGl Applications via ThinLinc Terminal Servers

[DRC]

It depends on the version of VirtualGL you are using.  All of the 
documentation links for all of the various versions live here:

http://www.virtualgl.org/Documentation/Documentation

They all changed recently when we migrated to the new SourceForge Allura 
platform.  Maintaining a vgllatest link on my end doesn't make a lot of 
sense to me.  Cendio needs to link to whatever version or versions you 
are supporting.  When a new version comes out, then it's up to you to 
decide whether to support it (and thus update the links on your end) or 
continue using the old one.
